Veteran political prognosticator Charlie Cook tells NBC's Chuck Todd he is now less skeptical of a Trump nomination. On Sunday's Meet the Press, Cook says Trump is gaining the momentum to get the required delegates to wrap up the Republican primary race.



Cook, however, is unsure if the rest of the party will coalesce around him.



From NBC:





CHUCK TODD: Charlie, this is the issue. There isn't anybody to rally around. Kasich's not ready to drop out, Cruz won't drop out for Rubio, Rubio won't drop out for Cruz. I mean, it's, and Donald Trump's going to walk away with this thing.



CHARLIE COOK: Chuck, at this point, momentum. I mean, none of that matters. Expectations don't matter. It's delegates. It is, after Tuesday is Donald Trump on a trajectory to get 1,237 delegates? Yes or no. And you know for all these other guys, you know, it's can they keep him under that trajectory is what's important. And I've been very skeptical about Trump winning the nomination from the very beginning.



CHUCK TODD: Are you still skeptical?



CHARLIE COOK: Yeah, my knees are weakening a little.



CHUCK TODD: All right.



CHARLIE COOK: You know, the thing is, when two out of three Republican voters in national polls, in averaging in the four events so far, are against him, are they going to coalesce behind him? They all knowing, they're all familiar with--



CHUCK TODD: You know his percentages right now--



CHARLIE COOK: -- one third are with him.
