Cruz looks beyond NY primary

“The fight is definitely between Trump and Hillary”. “‘We have a movement going on like they’ve never seen before, ‘ Trump said of his campaign”.

The results from Tuesday night’s NY primary could be crucial in determining whether either (or both) of the presidential nominating contests is clinched anytime soon.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton talks to employees at St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers, N.Y., on April 18.

Trump, for his part, has been deploying a new moniker (“crooked”) against Clinton in recent days.

Trump, the Republican billionaire developer from NY, and Clinton, the Democratic former USA senator from NY, have maintained double-digit poll leads in the state for weeks.

Hypothetic matchup between Bernie Sanders vs. Donald Trump. With all that said, NY doesn’t have egregious voter ID laws that pervade red states like Texas and Wisconsin, but considering all the impending voting laws and deadlines you have to navigate in NY, the disenfranchisement is all the same.

“I love Bernie’s platforms, I’m just not sure realistically if they can be applied nationwide, and I’ve always been a fan of Hillary’s so I’m just very torn”.

“I’m very hopeful that he wins tomorrow”, she said. Barring an upset on the Republican side, Trump, whose name adorns condominiums and hotels across New York City, is expected to win handily in his native state. The biggest question for him heading into Tuesday is whether he captures more than 50 percent of the vote statewide, which would put him in strong position to win all of the state’s 95 GOP delegates.

Kasich has argued for some time that no candidate will win 1,237 delegates outright, and he plans to win the nomination through a contested convention in July.

He said Clinton had “moved to the left in this campaign” but not gone far enough to propose solutions. And nowhere has that shift been more prominent than in NY, a place where Trump can also claim some home-state advantage. Cruz, Trump’s closest rival, has been criticized by some voters for speaking disdainfully of “New York values” earlier this year in an attempt to discredit Trump.

“Donald Trump will not be elected president of the United States because the American people will not support a candidate who insults Mexicans and Latinos, who insults Muslims, who insults women, who insults veterans, who insults the African-American community”, Sanders said. “I think that that’s wrong, and that does hurt us because we win independent voters about two-to one”. Upstate counties usually are the first to report, with New York City boroughs following. The two run almost even in Upstate New York, according to Miringoff, and outside of the city suburbs, North of Clinton’s home in Westchester County, their support could be pretty evenly divided.

The poll shows 50 percent of Democratic primary voters favor Clinton, while 48 percent of those polled prefer Sanders – a 7-point swing from a month ago, when the same poll had Clinton at 53 percent to Sanders’ 44 percent. The agreement’s rules state the first $2,700 of that money can be transferred to the candidate’s campaign account, $33,400 can be transferred to the DNC, and any remaining amount, up to $10,000, can be distributed to participating state party committees, according to a letter to the DNC written by Sanders Campaign Attorney Brad C. Deutsch. He is hoping for more crowds at his concert-cum-rally at a park alongside the East River in Queens on Monday evening. On Monday she was to campaign with NY senator Kirsten Gillibrand and former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who survived being shot in the head, on issues of women’s rights and raising incomes.
