Yep the filing deadline have passed in so many states that if he entered now and won the rest of the primaries he would not be able to get 1144 delegates BUT it could deadlock the convention and if no one gets the nomination after the first round of voting delegates are free to vote for anyone they want even someone that have not been running for example Chris Christie, that scenario would piss off a lot of republican voters and would never happen but its a possibility.
