Republican frontrunner Donald Trump easily won the GOP primary in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, NBC News has projected, continuing momentum from a big win in NY last week over his two opponents, U.S. Sen.
Trump is still short of the 1,237 delegates needed.
Trump’s rivals have carved up three of the next states between them to improve their chances of denying him a simple majority. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich have formed an alliance to stop Trump from securing the victory.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is greeted by supporters Wednesday, April 13, 2016, in the Bronx borough of NY. “And we will unify our party to win this election and build an America where we can all rise together, an America where we lift each other up instead of tearing each other down”.
He went on to drag the leading Democratic candidate for using a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state, claiming “people that did far less are sitting in jail cells”.
Mr. Trump said in his own victory speech Tuesday that if Mrs. Clinton were a man, he didn’t think she would get 5 percent of the vote.
As the general election approaches, Trump is showing no signs of backing off aggressive attacks on Clinton, or her ex-president husband, Bill Clinton. “If she were a man and she was the way she is, she would get virtually no votes”.
As the Republican front-runner made his controversial “woman card” comments, Mary Pat’s side eye said everything she wasn’t able to.
“I consider myself the presumptive nominee, absolutely”, the real estate mogul said that night in NY.
“Well I haven’t quite recovered – it’s early in the morning – from her shouting that message”, Trump said.
