What do you say on this . Scott even if he doesnt get to the magic number of 1237. He will continue to say he is the main candidate and the only one that has a realistic shot and the only one to be considered. Ted cruz will argue the contrary with john kasich. They are thinking fine, we may not get to that number either but as long as could have issues on the Convention Floor in july. That is why they are staying in it. On the flip side, we are hearing on the left from Bernie Sanders. Hillary clinton had a big win in new york as well. She continues to net more votes and delegates than he does. Result, she sounded a bit last night like saying this is my race now. Bernie sanders saying they are staying in this until the final vote are cast. But at the same time we heard from chad devine, a Senior Adviser saying they have to reassess after the next five state vote. That is maryland on the 26th. Michelle moving forward for clinton, does he shift the focus from sanders to zeroing in on trump . Scott we are seeing that already. Some of the lines that she puts out are really more against trump than they are against Bernie Sanders. I think you will see more super pac ads in that direction as well. Wrapped up need to focus on the general election in their minds. They are doing that but trying to do it with the subtlety not to overlook Bernie Sanders who put up a spectacular fight so far.
