Whether that convention is wide open or not likely comes down to California, the last, largest remaining state to vote, on June 7. There, Trump leads Cruz and Kasich as the CBS News Battleground Tracker begins looking at the contest, 49 percent to 31 percent for Cruz and 16 percent for Kasich. At the race's current pace, Trump would need a sizable win there -- as well as strong performances in between -- to clinch the nomination outright.
This is huge news. In the last few weeks, Cruz had closed the gap on Trump, making a California delegate sweep, and the nomination, less likely. But if Trump can win clean sweeps in New York, California, and Pennsylvania, all of Cruz's savvy delegate wrangling and hard work might be for naught.

The strength of the Republican vote is strong in Upstate New York. He'll be visiting Plattsburgh, Syracuse and Watertown. It will be interesting to see how those go.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone out there other than me concerned for Trump's safety?
ReplyDeleteI only hope it doesn't go like Wisconsin did. Trump won there and Cruz came in 3rd, but took all the delegates. Talk about voter fraud!
ReplyDeleteI'm 100% behind Trump, but don't count your chickens before they hatch. It ain't over yet and a lot can happen between today and then.
ReplyDeleteI thought Iowa and New Hampshire were the most important states.
ReplyDeleteThe early fraud that's trasnpired is nothing compared to what happens this November! Thats when the real show starts!
