The Primaries, an Update

So ... Cruz won his home state of Texas, Kasich won his home state of Ohio, and yesterday Trump won his home state of New York. None of that rises to the level of a big story.

Only a candidate losing his own state, as Rubio did in Florida, qualifies as a big deal. The race goes on, apparently even California will be relevant.

On the Dim, sorry Dem, side Hillary won her adopted state of New York while NY native Sanders lost because he had deserted NY. No big surprise here.

Drudge seems to be on-board the Trump train, His headline today "Trump Winning Over Party," as he links to a Reuters story at Yahoo News to that effect. If Trump gets to 1237 delegates before the convention, I expect most of the party to fall in line and back him, if not always wholeheartedly.
