Much to the chagrin of the political establishment, Donald Trump is on the verge of locking up the GOP nomination.
New Hampshire: Trump.
Nevada: Trump.
South Carolina: Trump.
Put simply, if the brazen billionaire locks up Super Tuesday, it’s all over for the field. Here’s a preview of next week’s critical polls via Politico:
Alabama primary; 50 delegates
Don’t be fooled by Gov. Robert Bentley’s endorsement of his colleague John Kasich. This is conservative country. It’s the home of immigration hardliner Jeff Sessions, whose endorsement has been courted by both Cruz and Trump. There have been few polls of the largely rural state, but Trump dominated the most recent one, a December poll funded by state lawmakers that showed Trump with a 20-point edge over Cruz.
Brent Buchanan, an unaligned Republican strategist in Alabama, said he expects the state to mirror the results of South Carolina: a strong Trump win, and a Rubio second-place finish. Buchanan noted that Rubio just earned the endorsement of 31 state lawmakers and Cruz pulled out of an Alabama forum set for Saturday, though Rubio still plans to attend. Anecdotally, he said, energy for Cruz has slid. It could leave Cruz empty-handed if he fails to reach 20 percent support in the state, the minimum threshold for receiving delegates.
