That many Republicans want to end the nomination contest after only two small, nearly all white states, with no major American cities, have voted — tells us all we need to know about the Republican party.
Republicans literally don’t give a f**k what people of color or what people who live in urbanized America think or what their needs or policy priorities are — and urban areas are where most Americans live.

@danwentzel Oh they do care, quite a bit!
The thing is that an unfortunate number of Republicans are buying into their own rhetoric and believe that Republican people of color and people who live in urbanized America are already behind Trump, so it's just a waste to go through the process.
It's not that they don't care. It's that they have convinced themselves they know what the answer is already.
@danwentzel and just to follow up on my response from last night, one part of the picture is the position by many Republicans (and others) that all of this really is a team sport, and that in this case only Republicans should be choosing the nominee.
For those people, they really don't care what non-Republicans anywhere think, which is why I emphasized the party in my comment.
It's sad for them since they'll sure have to care about what those people think if they want to win, but it's a childish box they're painting themselves into, depriving themselves of input from voters who actually do really matter.
