Moore said he was taking a wait-and-see attitude on whether Trump would change.

Trump also praised his team.
And he told a rally in Pennsylvania on Thursday: “At some point, I’m going to be so presidential that you people will be so bored”. The bravado emanating from the Cruz campaign was silenced by Trump’s massive win.
(Note: We’re on assignment tomorrow, returning Friday.) “So someone said NY values are disgusting and then New Yorkers voted overwhelmingly for Hillary and Trump?” quipped Frank Fleming on Twitter last night. “It’s really nice” to win delegates with voting, he said.
On the verge of being mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination outright, the Texan is relying more heavily on his strategy of winning over the delegates elected at grass-roots levels who could become free agents after the first ballot vote in Cleveland. While 17 delegates are awarded to the candidate who wins the state overall, 54 delegates are “unbound”, meaning that the delegates can support whomever they want, even on the first round of balloting at the Republican nominating convention in July. She defeated rival Bernie Sanders 67 percent to 33 percent in Westchester, according to unofficial and incomplete rivals. “Maybe he should look at the NY results and the results yet to come”.
Roughly at the same time, Trump’s newly hired political director, Rick Wiley, was hosting a series of private meetings at the Florida resort with party officials from states set to vote in the coming weeks.
Among Democrats, Mrs Clinton now has 1,930 delegates to Mr Sanders’ 1,189. Rivals Ted Cruz, 45, and John Kasich, 63, are trying to stop him from getting a majority of delegates, so they can force a contested convention in which one of them could emerge as the nominee.

Appealing to Sanders’ loyal supporters, Clinton said, “There is more that unites us than divides us”.
After adding at least 135 delegates in her NY victory, Clinton’s campaign is now hopeful she can clinch the nomination before the June vote in California, which Sanders eyed as a last-ditch firewall. He also conceded that Trump will probably win additional states during Tuesday’s Northeastern and mid-Atlantic contests. The Democratic National Committee established superdelegates more than three decades ago to help retain a degree of control over the nomination, so naturally Sanders’ grass-roots supporters chafe at what they see as the hand of the party establishment tipping the scales.
The conventional wisdom of many experts was that Trump would not be able to win over 30% – and certainly not over 35% of the vote when other candidates dropped out of the race.
“There have been very few complaints the way it is”.
