drop out of the race

Former Governor of Massachusetts and 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney has warned his party that Donald Trump would secure this year’s presidential nomination if both Senator Ted Cruz and Governor John Kasich stay in the race after tomorrow’s New York primary.

Trump’s lead is consistent with what other recent Florida polls have found, and Trump’s lead in the RCP average is 18 points.
