Donald Trump has just won another five State primaries last night:
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland. Trump has
950 delegates and only needs 1,237 to win it all to be the nominee. There
are 650 delegates left so this is 100 percent feasible. But why is Trump
sweeping when Cruz was doing so well.
In my opinion the non-aggression pact made
between John Kasich and Ted Cruz is a big part of it. Reason being is
that people want to value their vote and the idea that each and every one of
those votes count for something. However, the pact between Cruz and
Kasich to usurp Trump and the majority of the voters in the Republican made
them look like two guys trying to usurp the people's choice. Hence Trump
got more votes.
Also, Trump is a populist and has
harnessed all the frustrations that the people of the nation are feeling.
As such he has a swath of supporters who believe that he feels as they do
and is listening to them (politicians in D.C. have a reputation for not being
good listeners). With respect to immigration, the economy and jobs, Trump looks
like the guy who will finally take on those issues once he steps into the White
House for he is the only candidate who has actually run a business. He
even has new advisors and this is showing as his rhetoric is becoming clearer, concise
and he is looking to make his promises come true.
Conclusion: Trump wants to win this. He
has the momentum and the strength to keep going despite the negative press on
his character (something we should pay attention to). The man is even
telling Bernie to run third party so that both of them can stick it to the
establishment and party leaders who tried, and are succeeding in the case of
Bernie, of trying to snuff out Trump and Bernie in these elections.
Basically it is a revenge play as if Bernie runs, then Hillary loses
votes thus guaranteeing victory in the general election for Donald Trump!
Trump has a strategy and it reminds me of a board room deal. I'm a
Cruz guy still, but Trump has got the gall and the wealth to fight his way to
the White House.
