So what serious contenders are there still for the primaries?

And is Trump still considered a serious contender when there are entire states who definitely won’t have him on the final ballot?

Donald Trump and Nicki Haley. And Trump is not harmed in the least bit as long as he's only left off blue state ballots. That has zero effect on his ability to win electoral votes.

Yes because Colorado was never going to go to Trump anyway. Maine splits their electoral votes but 1 or 2 electoral votes are very very unlikely to make a difference in the election. And that probably won't matter anyway because SCOTUS will almost certainly rule to keep him on the ballot.

Those states, and counting, are forced to keep him on the ballot by the Supreme Court.
