>> Bret: definitely and we are tracking delegates as well. Let’s bring in Karl Rove now. Super Tuesday, you’ve been through a lot, what are your thoughts?
>> Strong night for Donald Trump. We’ve got the big enchiladas yet to come in the form of Texas and California but I would not be surprised if given what he’s doing and the rest of the country he did not take California where if you get 50% plus one you take all of the delegates. A very good night for him and it’s likely they will win the majority of the delegates by either the — the 19th at the latest is probably accurate. Having said that, the high command of team Trump ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party because as we see in these states, one third of the vote in Virginia, 43% of the vote in Massachusetts going to Nikki Haley, one quarter of the vote in North Carolina. Maine is now dropping down to about one quarter but it was 31% for Nikki Haley, Vermont 48%. There’s work to be done to unify the Republican Party and that’s going to depend a lot on his tone tonight and whether or not he stops doing things like calling her bird brain and threatening that if you give money to her campaign you will be permanently banned and we will see how he does tonight. He did well in Iowa with his victory statement, unified, humble, gracious. Not so good in New Hampshire and tonight will be the big night and he’s going to set an important tone for either a unified Republican Party or a divided Republican Party.
