Donald Trump wants Ted Cruz all to himself, probably in a closed-off room with no cameras and soft lighting.

At an election night press conference in West Palm Beach on Saturday night, the Republican presidential frontrunner called on Marco Rubio to drop out of the race, a move that would likely deliver Florida voters to Trump. Trump chose a great way to challenge Cruz:

“Rubio had a very, very bad night and personally I’d call for him to drop out of the race. I think it’s probably time. … As a party we should come together and stop this foolishness ... I would love to take on Ted one-on-one. That would be so much fun. Because Ted can’t win New York. He can’t win New Jersey. He can’t win Pennsylvania. He can’t win California. I want Ted one-on-one, OK?”

If and when this one-on-one encounter occurs, we already know who’ll be the top.
