Ted Cruz after his rough showing in NY. “Donald won his home state”, Cruz said. “It also surprised nobody”.

Back in 2011, The Washington Post reported that the real estate mogul has donated more than 1.3 million dollars to candidates nationwide, with 54 percent of the money going towards Democrats. “All of his bluster, all of his bravado, is created to hide that simple fact”, Cruz offered. It’s a powerful argument that will grow stronger if he wins more contests in the way he won NY. A Republican needs 1,237 to be nominated, a level Trump may not be able to reach before the party’s July convention. Most people don’t think highly of people who are natural politicians, so whether that statement is true or false, it helped her politically to say it.
Neither protest nor parody are slowing down Donald Trump. Now all he can do is be a spoiler, never a nice thing to do. Hillary is crooked. I call it crooked Hillary. And he insisted that he would have a huge advantage in swaying delegates to join his camp on the convention floor. “There’s no path to victory for Cruz, so he should get out”. On the other hand, Kasich, who has only 148 delegates, despite doing better than Cruz in NY, would need 1,048 delegates to win the nomination. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maryland also have their primaries that day. Thirty percent said they would consider a third-party vote in a Clinton v. Trump match-up, while 12 percent said they wouldn’t vote.
“Ted Cruz is mathematically out of winning the race”, Trump said Wednesday on Twitter. No one in the Democratic Party wants to have Republican frontrunner Donald Trump as president, so Sanders’ campaign should do whatever it takes to prevent that even if it means dropping out of the nomination race and rallying behind the former First Lady.
From there, he picked up a limited number of delegates in Vermont, Massachusetts, the District of Columbia and North Carolina before collecting 66 in the OH primary March 15, defeating Mr. Trump by 11 percentage points.

While anything still can happen in what has been an unpredictable contest, NY is as close as it comes to the front runners landing a decisive blow.
