Trump, Kasich tied in Ohio while Rubio down in Florida. Trump may skip SLC debate. Kasich to visit Utah on Friday.

Happy Monday. Republicans who want to stem Donald Trump's rise are looking for two things in tomorrow's primaries: John Kasich wins Ohio and Marco Rubio takes Florida. Both routes, though, look in trouble right now. A new poll shows Trump tied with Kasich in his home state of Ohio while the New York billionaire holds a massive lead in Florida. A Trump win in both states could leave him as the presumptive GOP nominee.
