Frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won big in the NY primary this week – can their rivals stop them, or is it too late? “Now Bernie’s over, I guess”.
Trump’s win in his home state of NY on Tuesday bolstered his chances for the Republican presidential nomination, prompting a more serious study of his prospects in the general election. The blunt reply: “I don’t think we can”. “Is there anyone more crooked than this woman?” But as the possibility of a contested convention continues to loom, both men are planning for a scenario in which unbound delegates hand them the nomination in July. However, he praised Sanders for his tough fight against Clinton.
“I don’t know, I think she’s qualified, I guess”, Trump said before adding that “that doesn’t mean she’s good”. “What is happening here?” she said.
I remain also concerned that in a state as large as NY, nearly 30 percent of the eligible voters some 3 million New Yorkers were unable to vote today because they had registered as independents, not Democrats or Republicans, and that makes no sense to me at all, Sanders said.
“Well, first of all, I ‘ve got to find out what her platform is”, Sanders said about the possibility of an endorsement. I’m an outsider, Bernie Sanders is an outsider. For one, there’s no such thing as a national primary – states vote individually, and attempts to survey them all at once omit the significant differences between, say, the Iowa caucuses in February and the New Jersey primaries in June.
The vice president, who has wanted to reach the highest office for decades, said he regrets “every day” that he didn’t enter the 2016 presidential race – but that his decision was in his family’s best interests. He’s counting on the upcoming primaries on Tuesday in Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania to pick up a few more delegates and help further quiet the critics. The other two presidential candidates, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, appeared before the RNC.
“If you don’t have ideas, you got nothing, and frankly my Republican Party doesn’t like ideas”, Kasich said.

While a brokered convention may provide Cruz with a path to the presidential seat, he was once quoted saying that a contested convention would be a “pipe-dream” for the Republican establishment and that they hope nothing more than to “snatch this nomination from the people”.
