The fight at the state’s convention Saturday underscores the intense battle for delegates heading into the Republican National Convention in July. They need to have at least 1,237 delegates to earn the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump captured more than 50 percent of the vote in NY and was headed toward a big delegate haul in his home state, a commanding showing that keeps him on a path to the GOP nomination if he continues to win.
Clinton said Trump wants to “go after every one of the rights we have”.
Several in the crowd said Delaware’s business-friendly and bank-attracting financial laws fuel the inequality the Vermont senator decries. “But Cruz’s Northeast Political Director David Sawyer lied to us and broke the deal”.
Still, with so much in the balance, people are better served knowing exactly where the delegates would stand, said Joseph Sernell, of Johnstown, another candidate in the 12th Congressional District. “That’s not the way this country should be run”. The real estate mogul also went after Kasich, joking about the spelling and pronunciation of his name.
While the ballot for Democrats has the would-be delegates identify which presidential candidate they support, Republican voters are given no clue where the candidates stand. “Cruz will always defend the interests of the people who elected him over the will of establishment politicians”.
He has 845, trailed by Cruz with 559 and Kasich with 148.
“There’s been a lot of misinformation handed out that – in fact, there was no final agreement”.
“We’re evolving the campaign, not the candidate”, he told Fox News Sunday.
Although there’s been talk about GOP frontrunner Donald Trump acting more presidential, the billionaire was true to form during his Saturday morning campaign rally in Waterbury, Connecticut where he took swings at both of his rivals Sen.
All day Saturday delegates and speakers loudly spoke out in support of their republican candidate, with unity being the overarching message that people said is refreshing. Kasich shot back by asking 18-year-old Nick Celico, of Westerly, why he hadn’t gone to community college.
Jason Hoy, a math teacher from Marlton, N.J., said he drove to Wilmington to support a candidate he feels is focusing on the right issues, particularly his own student loan debt.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are poised for a super Tuesday, according to two new polls.
In addition to making for a largely painless delegate slate vote, this would prevent the election of “faithless delegates” who would flip their vote after the first ballot, when delegates are bound, during the presidential nominating process – a scenario the Trump campaign fears.
Cruz and John Kasich are too far behind to secure enough delegates but are staying in the race in hopes of contested convention. Republican challenger Ted Cruz, meanwhile, abandoned the Tuesday states and instead campaigned in IN, which votes May 3.

Julie Pace of The Associated Press shared insights from recent focus groups showing that the vacancy, and President Obama’s nomination to fill it, was essentially a big yawn for voters. LePage, who along with his wife is running for a slot as a Trump delegate, would normally have been awarded the slot as a courtesy to the governor. They refuse to say whom they will pick, arguing that because of the lag between the primary and the election, circumstances could demand the delegates support someone other than the victor of the popular vote in Pennsylvania’s primary.
