I don’t know the outcome, but I suspect that today will show this nation just how ‘slumped’ the Trump campaign.

It is my feeling that actual VOTERS there will respond to Senator Cruz’ tactic of delegate pandering and influence in a very clear way. We’ll see tonight.

In the aftermath Senator Cruz and his vultures can scavenge among the fallen and pick a few bones for 2nd Convention Vote rally, but this night, and nights to follow may just well vex his plan. Abandoning voters for delegates for the second round convention vote will backfire on him. My two cents.

Cruz really did abandon voters. In just over a week, Trump had rallies in all regions of NY, even isolated ones, and plus that found time to have rallies in Hartford and Pittsburg. At the same time, Cruz was practicing his strategy of talking to insiders in private getting them to fill delegate slots without a mandate from voters. And where the heck was Kasich?

This is the political party that was going to be more inclusive, to attract new votes. The only new voters are for Trump. It's mind-boggling that the party elite are so completely disdainful of voters. They don't even hide it anymore.
