Donald Trump’s extraordinary Tuesday evening in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware got me thinking: if this GOP presidential process were a prizefight, the referee would have stopped it last night. The announcer would have exclaimed, “ Donald Trump, winner by knockout.”
The impressiveness of Donald Trump’s clean sweep of the “Acela Primary States” on Tuesday isn’t in the victories themselves. Everyone knew that Trump would do well on Tuesday in the more moderate northeast. It’s the margin that’s notable. This was a shellacking. The knock on Trump was that he had a ceiling or that when other candidates dropped out, his numbers would stay static and the other contenders would flourish. It hasn’t panned out, at least not enough to significantly change the contours of the race...
Here’s the point: Trump has a compelling case to make to the unbound delegates in Cleveland if he arrives short of the 1,237. He’s on his way to having more republican votes than any other candidate in modern GOP Primary history; he has more delegates than any candidate; he’s shown a propensity to win all around the country and he can point to how he clearly has crossover appeal to democrats and independents...

It was a schlonging. Somone got shafTED.
And the best Cruz can come up with is a faux alliance with Kasich and picking Carly as a VP when he’s 500 delegates behind?
The fact that he won all the counties in PA, MD and DE, and only lost one county in Rhode Island and 3 in CT, is unheard of. That’s the main story from last night.
Also, a Reuters poll shows that 51 percent now think that the primary system is rigged. That comes just 3 weeks after Trump started hammering that issue. Before that few if any knew anything about the primary delegate awarding system, or cared to have an opinion one way or the other. It took Trump to bring it to everyone’s attention, and get them to see it his way.
Crooked Hillary Clinton, be very afraid, you are now in Trump’s kill zone.
Where are the Cruz supporters supporting this?
Nobody want Donald Trump for president but the people.
Adding to Donald’s momentum was his speech today. It was like a cross or garlic to the Dracula Left. It is almost as good as Hillary’s victory speech last night when she screeched on behalf of LGBT rights. The applause was thunderous and it was pretty obvious that, aside for her security detail and the press, there wasn’t a straight person in the crowd.
It was a combo;

Checkmate, Donald!
<sarc>Ted Cruz selecting Fiorina as his running mate is the game changer that Cruz supporters have been waiting for!
After this, the contested convention which Ted Cruz wants, and which will splinter the party, destroy voter enthusiasm, cause countless Trump voters to stay home, and hand the election to Hillary in a November landslide, well, that'll just be a slam dunk! A mere formality!
</sarc>
The Ted Cruz humiliation meter is going off the scale at this point...
Vote Trump
"Crooked Hillary Clinton, be very afraid, you are now in Trump’s kill zone."
And Ms Pantsuit, you're what they call a "target rich environment".
