Hello and welcome to a special Gap Fest extra extra extra extra. For March 2nd 2015,

that really was a Super Tuesday edition. I'm David Plots of Atlas of Scura. Jamel Booy Slates Chief

Political correspondent joins me from New York. Hello, Jamel. Hello. How are you doing?

I am very very tired. I've been up a long time following these insane results from Tuesday.

Good. Well, we'll talk about that right now or just as soon as I say we will have a regular Gap Fest

to this week on Friday. John Dickerson, Emily Bazzle and I will do a regular show. But for now,

we have a Super Tuesday treat. We will start with Republicans because they're more interesting and

crazier. So Jamel, so there's a theory. The theory of the case is actually this is the best possible

result for Trump even better than kind of running the table because all of his rivals are going to

stay in the race after this. Does that make sense to you? That makes sense to me. Everyone

winning a little something. Cruise winning, Texas and Oklahoma, Rubio winning the great state of

Minnesota and Kasey. I guess doing very well in Vermont but not quite winning. Give some all

of a reason to stay in and by dividing any potential anti-Trump vote, I want to say potential

because there's no guarantee that if other candidates are winnowed out that Trump won't benefit

somewhat from the departure of other people. So as long as that vote of not Trump is divided,

Trump retains really the lion share of the Republican primary vote upwards of 40%. Despite the fact

that when you compare Trump to previous front runners, he's actually a bit weaker than he looks.
