In fact, this is how it all plays out. Trump is now the only gop candidate with a chance of clenching the partys nomination before the gop convention. He won by so much in new york that there are not enough delegates left in future contests for cruz or kasich to reach that 1,237 they need to win the gop nomination. Now their only hope is to thwart a contested convention. And Hillary Clinton said she can see her vic sanders. She captured 60 of the vote in the democratic primary.

At least on a first vote. Ted cruz, though, said he still has a path to victory even though he realizes that new york was not his, he didnt get one delegate as a result this morning. It doesnt look like ted cruz has delegates to win the nomination without a contested convention. What about the democrats . What does hillary need to do to wrap it up for the democratic nomination .
