There will be those in the Republican and conservative establishment who will try to spin the Super Tuesday results. Some among the GOP chattering classes will tell you that Trump didn't get the knock-out punch he wanted -- that there is still a chance to restore order. Don't believe it.

It's now the party of Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot.
