After Super Tuesday 2.0 Donald Trump is on track to secure the Republican nomination.



Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) would need 87% of remaining primary voters to win the nomination.

It might be time for Ted Cruz to drop out and endorse Donald J. Trump?

The New York Times reported:
Donald J. Trump’s series of victories on Tuesday extended his delegate lead and forced Senator Marco Rubio of Florida out of the presidential race. Mr. Trump’s path to winning enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination is not assured, but he is in a strong position.

Here are some ways the Republican nominating contest could unfold. Try adjusting the sliders to see how the outcomes change. Each line in the chart represents one possible outcome.

If Mr. Trump maintains his current level of support in the remaining races, he would almost certainly secure the nomination.
After Tuesday’s contests, no other candidate retains a real chance of capturing the delegates required to win the nomination outright. Mr. Rubio dropped out, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio is too far behind, and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas would need to win the vast majority of the remaining delegates — a near impossibility.
Donald Trump can win the nomination if he continues on his current trajectory.

Ted Cruz would need to win 87% of the remaining delegates – a near impossibility.
