NYT has Cruz receiving 3 RI delegates, none from the other 4 states. K-sick could still pull out a win in New Caanan, CT, depending on how the missing precinct goes. Seems none of the other missing precincts in CT, MD, or PA would cause a shift in the local winner.
From the website:
Trump
Conn 58%
Del 61%
Md 54%
Pa 57%
RI 64%
Go Trump!
The really big story here is that Trump won every county in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Kasich won a couple of counties in CT and one in Rhode Island.
Trump must have a much better “ground game” than he is letting on, because winning every county in a state, especially one as large as Pennsylvania, is unheard of. Cruz won big in WI (his last real win) but the election map shows that he took the large cities and their surrounding counties, but Trump took the majority of the counties. That outcome is a natural one, not winning every county, and to do it in 3 out of 5 states borders on the unbelievable.
The reports of Dems switching to Republican played out in Trump's favor it seems.
That's interesting. Sanders only won one state. Perhaps some of his supporters are beginning to realize that Trump is the outsider who can get the nomination.
RI says something that the pols can't ignore. Trump and Sanders both won easily. That means a strong majority of voters across the political spectrum are voting against establishment pols.
