"Late Night" host Seth Meyers last night served the GOP the hard truth that Donald Trump is "the candidate their voters want."

Meyers devoted his now-daily "Closer Look" segment to the ever-surging Trump train, after he took Indiana on Tuesday and, within 24 hours, said goodbye to Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

"This is no accident," he continued. "The Republican party is the party of Donald Trump and has been for years."
