When several news outlets reminded voters that Mr. Trump had donated more money to the Clintons than to Veterans, conspirers began proposing the following controversial question: Is Donald Trump running a false flag campaign to help Hillary Clinton win this year’s presidential elections?

As to whether she would ask Sanders to exit the race, she said that was his choice. According to CNN, Cruz, who faced a crushing defeat in NY, appears convinced that the Republican field would have to deal with a contested convention in July. He then pointed to OR and some smaller Western states where Sanders is likely to win, along with IN and New Jersey, where Sanders’ chances are dimmer.

GOP White House hopeful and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, meanwhile, hosted a Friday evening town hall event in Glastonbury, Connecticut ahead of the state’s upcoming primary.

The group, which has endorsed the Texas senator, has run ads against Trump in several states. “After her win in NY this week, these numbers in nearby Pennsylvania suggest that the entire northeast is looking pretty good for the Clinton campaign”, said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. Clinton was beating Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders 57 percent to 42 percent.

“We’re honored to have the strong support of 2.2 million passionate donors who have given more than 7 million times”, said Weaver.

“There is now no state more important than IN for electing Cruz and keeping Trump from reaching 1,237 (delegates)”, McIntosh said IN a statement.

Despite Trump’s assertions that he will win enough delegates, his rivals claim that no one candidate will win the nomination outright.

Trump repeatedly attacked Cruz for not having “New York values”-a phrase used pejoratively in an earlier debate by Ted Cruz”.

“I think the vice president is exactly right”, Sanders said.

Once it became clear that Weaver did not have a real explanation for how Sanders would surpass Clinton in pledged delegates, the conversation shifted to super delegates.

Ted Cruz said no GOP contender will be able to capture the nomination outright during the primary process, paving the way for a convention battle.
