“Do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on “New York values”, like we’re no good”.
Trump lost Wisconsin to Texas U.S. Sen. “They know the state and they can help”, said Mark Stephenson, a Republican strategist who ran analytics and delegate strategy for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign.
“Working the delegate issue is a campaign issue and we are working that really hard, we have people devoted to it full time”, Sam Clovis said yesterday on Boston Herald Radio.

But as the convention approaches it’s not clear that any candidate will hit the magic number of 1,237 – the number of delegates needed to lock down the nomination – before the national convention begins.

Trump is holding the lead among likely Republican voters in two regions: the nine-county San Francisco Bay area and Southern California outside of Los Angeles County. The delegate count so far: Trump, 743; Cruz, 517; John Kasich, 143.

Because North Dakota didn’t hold a primary, its delegates are free to support the candidate of their choice, regardless of who wins the popular vote.

With Wisconsin now behind her, she is looking to her strength in NY where she was a U.S. senator before becoming the U.S. Secretary of State during President Barack Obama’s first term.
