For the Republican establishment, the search was increasingly dire. Trump’s seven victories in states across the country amounted to a GOP establish- ment collapse with no clear sign of rapid recovery. While his ULYDOVSURPLVHGWR¿JKWRQWKH party remained deeply divided over the preferred Trump alter- native. Marco Rubio won only liberal Minnesota. Sen. Ted Cruz took his home state of Texas, neighboring Oklahoma and Alaska. Clinton also won seven of the nearly a dozen states that weighed in Tuesday. Rival Ber- nie Sanders won his home state of Vermont, as well as Minne- sota, Oklahoma and Colorado.

A moment after Trump professed to have good relationships with his par- ty’s elite, he issued a warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had declared earlier Tuesday that “this party does not prey on people’s prejudices.” Trump said that if the two don’t get along, Ryan is “going to have to pay a big price.” Clinton, meanwhile, called can beat, and that will beat Don- ald Trump,” Cruz thundered to supporters gathered at the wood-paneled Redneck Coun- try Club in Stafford, Texas. Still, he’d been counting on more appeal in the South- ern states and among evangel- ical Christian voters. Trump, who dubs his surging campaign the “Trump Train,” has derailed those plans.

Trump won at least 203 delegates Tuesday. Cruz col- lected at least 144 delegates and Rubio picked up at least 71. Overall, Trump leads with 285 delegates, Cruz has 161, Rubio has 87, Kasich has 25 and Carson has eight. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the GOP nomination. Increasingly, leading Republicans talk of a contested convention in July as their best remaining option for stopping Trump, whose divisive rheto- ric about immigrants and eth- nic and religious groups has some fearing a GOP wipeout in November.

With a staggering $42 million raised in February alone, Sand- ers has the campaign cash to do just that — though Clinton is well on her way to the 2,383 delegates needed on the Demo- cratic side. Clinton collected wins in seven states, and Trump swept up victories in seven, includ- ing Virginia, another important general election battleground.
