It's The Donald

Thursday morning update: "Two seventy-something adulterers with six wives between them." That's what the GOP ticket will be if Trump selects Newt Gingrich as his running mate, which is apparently, actually, yes-I'm-not-kidding under serious consideration. (It will also be true if he selects Rudy Giuliani.) 

Original post: 
This is it. Both Ted Cruz and John Kasich have dropped out, leaving Donald Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee. (And all that talk of a "contested" GOP convention this summer? Never mind.) For the final time, I've updated my list:
