On the surface, things are looking pretty good for Donald Trumps efforts to capture the Republican nomination.
Hes received more votes, and has more pledged delegates, than any other candidate. After Missouri certified its race on Tuesday, Trumps delegate lead was 755 to 545 over Sen. Ted Cruz, with 1,237 needed to win the nomination.
Trump is about to overwhelmingly capture his home state of New York, and is poised to do nearly as well in Pennsylvania. And Trump has the full backing of some crucial parts of conservative media, notably The Drudge Report.
And yet theres an increasing desperation in the air from the Trump camp. Trump was on the OReilly Factor on Monday night with nary an insult for anyone, apart from the nations of China and Mexico.
I think I am a softer and kinder person, Trump said last night....

Because it’s true. That’s why I said it.
Watched Paul Manafort tonight on Hannity and am greatly comforted. He said Cruz’s strategy is all wrong because there isn’t going to be a 2nd ballot.
NO TRUMP...NO VOTE...and no RE ELECTION VOTES!!!
ha ha What a joke. Everyone knows what Trump is ... and it is hardly soft and kind.
Having said that -- it is ridiculous to NOT consider Trump the front runner. He has more delegates and is poised to win huge loads of them. I am not happy with that but those are the facts. Trump is positioned to be the pub nominee ... or independent nominee if he gets mad and splits.
“There are no American tanks in Bahgdad”....
LOL
The media tried to tell Rubio that coming in 3rd was the new 1st.
So, now, the person with the 2nd highest number of delegates to date is the frontrunner.

Take a BIG WHIFF — that is the smell of DESPERATION.
I consider Ted Cruz a slithering GOPE scumbag.
I couldn’t be less interested in him if I tried.
Not so fast, Kasich says he is the front runner. We got ourselves three front runners. Ain’t the “New Math” wonderful!
Oh please. The only reason they’re saying this is that Cruz has been a thief when it comes to getting delegates (stealing fairly won delegates from Trump). But the voters are going to have a big say on the 19th and then the 26th and Cruz’s little win in Wisconsin is going to look less significant. I actually think this word getting out about the farce that took place in Colorado is going to fire up Trump supporters even more and have a negative effect on the sleazy campaign that Ted Cruz is currently running.
Snort snort
Let’s wait 2 more weeks before telling Trump,to concede, shall we
You are officially jumping the shark 2DV.
Participation trophies for all!!!
Ain’t Quantum Superposition Great?!! Until you make the observation, all states are possible! ;-)
I might go to city hall in philly and identify as the mayor.
NO to canadians!
I just read about “Quantum Superposition” and it gave me a headache just like our candidates.
Not sure I've ever seen such egregious use of the word 'may.'
“It May Be Time To Consider Ted Cruz Front-Runner ...”
blah blah blah
And the writer of this tripe recognizes that Trump is ready to take electoral powerhouses New York and Pennsylvania.
