A long fought battle between GOP front-runner Donald Trump and the RNC establishment might be coming to a close after the staggering victory Trump had in New York.
reuters.com reports: The New York real estate mogul's win Tuesday in his home state over rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich was an important milestone for RNC members, who said it could put him on a pathway to acquire the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination outright without a contested convention.
"There are a fair number of RNC members who were discounting his chances of success when we met in January and now see that hes building a substantial lead and may in fact get to 1,237 before we get to the convention," said Steve Duprey, an RNC member from New Hampshire.
"The New York results were such an overwhelming win," Duprey said. "It's impressive. That's what I've heard people talking about."
RNC members said Trump could help improve the climate by taking steps to end the bad blood that has developed between him and the committee's leadership, including RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

No, the RNC are pragmatists who know which way the wind is blowing, and are going to leave Cruz hanging in the breeze.
Trump saved the Party from the likes of Jeb Bush and Rubio.
No, because he is in control, unlike Cruz who is just doing their dirty work.
They are still vile scum and Trump knows it.
Cruz needed them to win, Trump doesn't so he holds the cards.
He will dictate the terms of surrender.
True! Trump did that!
At this point, CRUZ and KASICH both will never have a career in politics again. People will never forget that they are staying in the race only for their own self interest.
Cruz himself told Kasich he should drop out because he has no mathematical chance at winning 1237. Now, he finds himself in the same space but wont take his own advice.
Both of their political careers are finished. They screwed themselves..
Kind of irrelevant now that Trump is going to be the nominee.
Why are Cruz supporters so dense?
The pressure is building already for the RNC to concede to Trump, by next week it will be immense.
The RNC controlled teddy on their terms.
Trump will control the RNC on his terms.
Capiche?
I'm hoping for "irresistible!"
The source is actually a excerpt from a Reuters article - click the (read more) link and get the full story - which is pretty much encapsulated in the "excerpt".
Does this concern about a potential "blog that needs to be excerpted" mean we will see fewer anti-Trump articles from the NYT/Huff Post/Politico and other leftist mouthpieces?
That did it for me too. Shameless attempt to sell out potential voters to score some cheap political points. He could have so easily walked it back but doubled down on telling us to STFU so I’ve been #NeverCruz since. I can’t vote for him under any circumstances since he can only get the nomination by stealing it with underhanded schemes at this point.
Worth repeating!
Another massive aha momement for me was when Romney delivered his Trump character assassination speech. When did that dipshit ever punch at a Democrat candidate that hard? I remembered that POS Romney in pictures with fat, loathsome Ted Kennedy gleefully signing the Massachusetts health care travesty and I knew Trump was my choice. I am finally old enough to have enough data points to look at what they do, not what they say.
Thank you so much.
