more of a boost so that he could lead into Ohio with some visible momentum.

But I think that it is very safe to say that, however he does in Ohio, he still will not finish well overall. In one sense, that's good. He may be the least insane of the bunch and, as such, more palatable to the GOPer PTB. Some think that he would, in fact, have been the most difficult Republican to beat as such.

But his views are still VERY RW, IMO. Given the damage ANY GOPer could do in the WH, I will be glad to see his candidacy bite the dust, as it likely will fairly soon after next Tuesday. Then we'll see which of the crazies we are left with, but it's more likely than not going to be Trump and Cruz.

Much as I detest Trump for ... everything, it is Cruz that I find to be the most physically repellent. The Donald is a caricature of a human being. Cruz embodies malevolence and the aura literally trails behind him.

One bright thing: those Republicans I know who are sane have said that while they may not be able to bring themselves actually to vote for the Dem candidate, they absolutely cannot vote for either Trump or Cruz. If they actually carry through with what they say now, it's almost as good as a vote FOR.
