March is shaping up to be a big month for the Republican presidential field.

It's when the GOP nominee will be essentially locked down in terms of delegate votes — according to a Republican National Committee planning document released this week — just as the first criminal case against former President Donald Trump is getting underway.

That means the primary campaign could basically be over before Trump's trials are in full swing.
