To those commenting on her RNC meeting status, Orrock pledged her support for Trump at the convention. Those donors who wanted consolidation as a means to stop Trump are hardly going to cheer Kasich’s continued presence in the field. “(People) are sick and exhausted of the same old, same old – just money corrupting the political process.
That’s why Wisconsin, which awards delegates proportional to votes, is the next battle for the GOP.

He’s capitalizing on their frustration and is using it to pit Americans against Americans.
Cruz, by contrast, would need to win 83% of the remaining vote to catch up. Cruz has at least six delegates running in the islands’ caucus ballot while Trump has three and John Kasich has none. Marco Rubio of Florida, before he left the campaign, suddenly looked to many rank-and-file activists as part of the problem. His closest competitor, Ted Cruz, has 423.

Also aligned with Cruz is Christine O’Donnell, an early Sarah Palin-backed Senate candidate in 2010, perhaps best known for a TV ad declaring she was not a witch. The latest poll there, from Merrill polling, shows Trump leading Cruz by 12 points. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
The Republican and Democratic parties are nongovernmental entities, so the groups are not bound by rulings of Congress or the constitution in the same way government organizations are. “It’s nearly impossible to get help”, Trump said.
“While there may not be enough time between the attacks this morning and tonight’s election to sway enough voters to effect the result of tonight’s elections in a significant way, these horrific attacks are sure to drastically change the trajectory of the campaign from this point forward”. It would be, quite simply, “the end of the party”, per Patrick. “The tea party has won”. At his news conference, Trump predicted that he would fairly easily win the needed delegates.
