I think I know he stands for another country paying for his great wall and something about not allowing Muslims in for awhile. And that he should probably not eat Oreos and he is not happy with delegate rules or Meghan Kelly. 😃 Oh and he thinks America isn’t great since he wants to make it great again. Whatever that means. 🤷

LOL 😉
 
Looks like Trump is the king of New York tonight. He referred to Cruz as Senator Cruz instead of Lying Ted. I guess he really is presidential material

About 60/40, he wins all the delegates. Kasich is a distant second, Cruz bringing up the rear. Trump should be the GOP nominee.

How many delegates has Trump won this month up until this victory in New York? Is it zero? Cruz has won over 100 delegates so far this month.

An intriguing thinkpiece. Definitely worth the read, no matter what grotto says.

Good article, I liked the below analysis
If either side was using political disruption to, as Lenin might say, heighten contradictions, it was the protestors. They went in to provoke, and then ran away pointing fingers at the supposed violence. Trump’s rhetoric after the incidents hasn’t helped any, but from his perspective he’s the aggrieved party.

Let’s turn it around and say the Black Lives Matter movement had caught on and was holding an ever-larger series of rallies around the country—rallies that were becoming increasingly disrupted by racists waving Confederate flags.

I don’t think the coverage would have been the same—Rachel Maddow’s perspective on the events would certainly have come from a different place, I suspect—and I think that if there had been footage of an elderly black gentleman sucker-punching a guy carrying a Stars and Bars the commentary on that would have been oddly supportive.

I think NY is Trumps first ~60% victory.

Looks like good states for Trump coming up too, Lily. For the longest time I thought Trump would fade into the sunset. Then as we got further into primary season, I thought he could snatch the nomination. More recently I bought into the “Stop Trump” movement and thought he would be denied on the 1st ballot and Cruz could well end up being the nominee. I considered Ryan as a possibility but he has shut that down. And now after Trump’s big win and what appears to be upcoming wins next wk, I’m back on board with you that Trump should be the nominee. And I now think he more likely will be than not. But I still think he will fall a little short and will have to add some delegates inbetween the time voting ends and when they arrive in Cleveland to secure a 1st ballot nomination. If it still goes beyond that, then all bets are off as I see it.
