Ted Cruz called GOP presidential front runner Donald Trump a “niche candidate” who can’t win support from a majority of Republicans and said Ohio Gov. John Kasich can’t win and may be “auditioning” to be Trump’s running mate.
Kasich was referring to his primary opponents: Texas Sen. That win plus Kasich’s relatively strong second-place finishes in the other three contested districts means the governor won at least four delegates, according to the Associated Press. The Real Clear Politics polling average shows Clinton leads Sanders 52 to 39 percent in the state.
IN votes on May 3. “It’s really nice”, Trump said. “Either he wins or he loses – it’s going to happen there”.
Trump made familiar pledges to improve USA trade and to combat ISIS and illegal immigration. They are urban, largely secular and lean Democratic.

Trump has not done especially well in the country’s midsection or less urbanized portions of the West.
Madonna says Pennsylvania’s demographics also favor Republican Donald Trump.
It has a significant number of Christian conservative voters and well-educated suburbanites; the latter helped drive Cruz’s landslide victory this month in Wisconsin. He’s even forgoing opportunities to hawk his product line, including Trump-blessed slabs of red meat, on primary nights. New Yorkers sent him a resoundingly negative message.
“It may be that John is auditioning to be Trump’s vice president”. She defeated Sanders in just 13, including the five in New York City.
Voters cast about 400,000 ballots in the Republican and Democratic primaries on Long Island Tuesday.
Cruz is making his own appearance in Maryland.
Cruz argued that it is mathematically unlikely if not impossible for Trump to reach the delegate threshold of 1,237 to secure the nomination before the end of voting June 7.
Instead, organizational muscle will be crucial.
Indeed, a handful of RNC members, led by Chairman Reince Priebus, have been quietly lobbying committee members against advising any changes to the rules this week. And Ted Cruz is not doing anything criminal in pilfering delegates and telling them to hold out and all the rest of it. But, what I’m saying is the American people have perceived an tremendously exciting, interesting contest, and the reality is that Donald Trump won it and everybody knows it. Look at that TV last night, Sean.
There are 71 GOP delegates at stake in Pennsylvania, and 54 of them are directly elected by voters.

“After her win in NY this week, these numbers in nearby Pennsylvania suggest that the entire northeast is looking pretty good for the Clinton campaign”, Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement accompanying the poll’s release. That said, it is not undemocratic to require the GOP nominee to obtain a 50+1 majority of delegates at the convention.
