Last debate/bloodbath is done. Obvious news is "Marcomentum" and the Christie Endorsement. There will probably be some surprises this weekend. Expect a wave of negative press from all sides to hit Trump like a Tsunami. But for the most part, I think a large group of voters in the Super Tuesday states are already set in their choice.
There are 624 delegates available for grabs on Super Tuesday. Pundits here and here say that Trump only needs to win about 250 delegates on the day to maintain his current "pace" to the magic 1,237 needed to win the nomination. I don't think it's unreasonable to think Trump can beat that number. But by how much? We'll see.
This article does a good job of breaking down the individual states, the way the delegates are doled out, and how they work for Super Tuesday.
My prediction: Trump clears 300 delegates, and gets close to 350. A solid haul that should give him huge momentum going the rest of the way forward.
Cruz will win Texas, but not over 50%, so Trump will get some of those delegates.
Rubio will probably win a state or two, so expect the media to declare him having huge momentum heading into Florida and Ohio on the 15th.
Kasich will do nothing, but will plan on sticking around until Ohio on the 15th (much to the chagrin of Rubio).
Carson will drop out after Tuesday, but that matters to no one. He might say a few nasty things about Cruz on the way out though.
