Tuesday

Given he has gotten a lot of tech money some from people also backing Hilton, his path might be could possibly become one of two Democrats. This could only happen if he surges or one or more stumble.

Then in a general election, he could get some of the independent/Democratic vote he got in the primary added to most of the Republican vote. He might be more of a threat than if a Republican was one of the choices.

Oddly, his chances of winning the general if he gets into it might not be worse than his ability to get into the top two.
