US election campaign: Right now, GOP rules say Trump is the only viable Republican nominee

"This is my second home," declared Donald Trump after he won the sunshine state of Florida in a big way this week.
It was no surprise.
Although it should have been young Cuban-American Marco Rubio's day in his home state, it was pretty clear for some time that he was going to be Trump-ed by the New York ring-in who has a residence and substantial business interests there.

From coast to coast you could almost hear the inner screams of the Republican establishment as their favourite dropped out.
Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010 on the back of hardline conservative Tea Party support but his pivot to the more moderate establishment meant he lost much of that base.
He's been described as a heartthrob turned shill. Maureen Dowd described him as a "frothy, focus grouped concoction".
Frothy or not, his bubble for this election has burst.
So for the GOP we're down to three; businessman Trump (who also won Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina this week), evangelical Ted Cruz and the everyman John Kasich trailing (although he won Ohio).
Hillary Clinton continues to collect delegates on the Democrat side, having won Florida, Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina. That's disappointing for her opponent Bernie Sanders who would have hoped to back up last week's surprise win in Michigan.
