There wasn’t any mystery about how Tuesday night’s five Republican presidential primaries would end up: in Donald Trump’s win column. The only thing to watch were his margins: Could he close out against John Kasich in certain highly educated, suburban congressional districts in Connecticut and Maryland, and could he break a 50 percent statewide winner-take-all threshold in Connecticut?
Yes, he could! He could do all of that, and he did. He won every state by double digits and cruised in every congressional district awarding bound delegates. He made a joke of his competition and the #NeverTrump cause, just as he did last week in New York, and there he was again Tuesday night, addressing supporters in Trump Tower with that same shrugging, blustery triumphalism. Sure, the Northeast is his smoggy backyard, and he won’t see it again until the New Jersey primary in June. But as he wraps up this friendly swing, he showed his close observers that he could do something he hadn’t been able to do much of yet: outperform predictions. If that’s a new trend that he can carry over to Indiana and California, then he’s the nominee.

Jim Newell explains why Trump is going to be the GOP's presumptive nominee.
Yes it was!
I heard the uniparty now has plans to wheel out Boehner as a possible nominee
That pooch is smarter than The Annointed One
LOL
1. Appear live on several AM shows for a victory lap.
2. Deliver his first major foreign policy speech.
3. Tape a Town-Hall with Greta in Indiana.
4. Conduct a campaign rally in Indiana with Bobby Knight.
I don't think he's taking his foot off the gas.
Not bad with 988 delegates under his belt.
Now he wants to take IN.
That will be easy, Trump will give him tour to his winery and we will never see sober Boehner again.
Demand for tomorrow foreign policy speech was so much , that they have to move to bigger place.
Pay no attention to any of this! It all depends on what happens in Indiana! .... or so Rush assured us today.
In my home state (CT) Trump ruined the night for every establishment politician, tv station, newspaper, radio station, and virtually all other so-called “public” figures and public policy “experts” as he turned the primary into a winner take all affair by winning well over 50%.
It will be fun to watch the media twist themselves into pretzels while they try to figure out who voted for him and why.
Those who know the answer will refuse to talk to them—all their “sources” on the politically correct approved list will be happy to talk to them and feed them the usual garbage.
April Fool!....right?
Test! Just made this graphic up.
Nice, I like it!
Trump statistically will not win 57 percent of the delegates to get to 1237. He’ll be out by the second ballot.
Laughter is the best medicine, so thanks for that. Trump *is* the nominee. Deal.
Ref:”Trump statistically will not win 57 percent of the delegates to get to 1237. He’ll be out by the second ballot.”
You are correct, Sir. The Trump-ets are trying to drown out any reasoned discussion on the on going competition. The NE is Trump’s liberal back yard and he was expected to win it. But he has run a campaign that is all hat & no cattle (in fact, when it time to produce some milk on his actual policies, he keeps putting the bucket under a steer). He will not make his margins in the delegate count and his invested delegates, who are already suffering buyer’s remorse, will start pulling out after the first ballot.
