“It is very unlikely that Trump can get the 1237 he needs now. Possible, but very unlikely at this point.”
GOPe talking point fail, odds are he will hit it with little trouble as Cruz is not looking good going forward and many WTA’s are on the path.
Well the GOPe machine in Wisconsin showed itself to be polished and well oiled.. It did deliver an 13 point win for Cruz.. But in spite of early talk Cruz did not get 50%. Kudos to Cruz and Jeb.
The question is, where does he replicate this going forward? The remaining states do not have this. Trump did self inflict some wounds, the dumbest had to be the Heidi Cruz tweet: however most of the narrative out of last night that Trump is done, and he’s doing bad with women erc etc is just nonsense.
He’s up huge in NY.. Could that change in 2 weeks? Perhaps but I would doubt it. Right now if polling is accurate Trump may just sweep NY. Though I would assume Cruz would probably win a district here and there, or at least get enough for a delegate here and there.
Trump should be still more than on target after NY in 2 weeks.
This loss will show what Trump is made of, will he regroup and rise or will he fall apart? Nearly every campaign has this sort of moment. We shall see.
Sadly for the next 2 weeks we are going to have to endure the silliness that Trump can’t win now as the press talks up for drama and ratings.
Did the other get smaller? Yes, did it become impossible? No. On the 26th Unless something drastic changes, Cruz becomes eliminated from being able to win 1237 mathematically.
If Trump comes out of NY dominant then the two weeks of parrot squawking is ended. Just have to put up with it until then.
Kudos again to Cruz and Bush, the Wisconsin machine did you proud.
