I was surprised that Cruz dropped out, especially after
Trump implied that Cruz's father was involved in the JFK
assassination but I guess that he didn't have the money
(advertising in New Jersey and California primaries would
be very expensive) and maybe he just didn't want to take the
abuse. Ditto for Kasich though we're still waiting for him
to make it official.
Even more shocking, I heard that recent polls show Hillary
Clinton only has a 10% lead on Trump. Could the impossible
be possible?
The question of how/why this has happened will probably
be of great research and theorizing among political psychologists
and other disciplines. The Washington Post article I link to
below provides some hypotheses but it is still hard to believe
that Republican voters would nominate a billionaire from
New York City (aka Sodom on the Hudson). It only adds
to the strangeness that his opponent will likely be a New
York millionaire. If Bernie gets the nomination, he'll won't
even qualify as a millionaire -- appropriate for a socialist. ;-)

Maybe John McCain is correct.
