WSJ's take today, which this site won't let me post because it is some sort of weird video link, is that the most likely outcome is a brokered convention because Kasich is ahead in Ohio, but Trump is well ahead in Florida. If that plays out, Trump will need to win 53% of the remaining votes to have a majority of convention delegates. WSJ doesn't see it.
 
I've read that the RNC is privately asking the top tier candidates to stay the course as they see the more candidates as the best way to guarantee a brokered convention. Assume they now wish they had the DNC's setup and were able to allocate 1/3 of the votes how they saw fit.

They should be careful about what they wish for. Trump supporters will not go quietly.

BTW here is how Nate Silver characterizes where the Trump voters came from and what is important to them.
