Scenes jockeying for delegates Donald Trumps president ial bid just hit two big milestones. One, an overwhelming victory in his home state of new york right here and ten months into the campaign an Actual Campaign operation with traditional things like a strategy and budget that are in the context of this campaign downright novel. As expected trump won new york by a huge margin last night with 60 of the vote. John kasich came in second with 25 and ted cruz in third with 15 . At a Campaign Rally in maryland trump refled in his wide margin of victory. We had a great night last night. I want to tell you, was something. The media was saying you cant get over 50 , very hard to get er 50 , even if youre really against two guys that dont have what it takes. Trump failed to sweep the states 95 available delegates ending up with 89, while kasich picked up four and cruz came up empty handed. Two are unallocated. In the race to 1,237 every delegate counts.

You. I said we should vote for candidates that you trust to defend our freedom and to be faith to feel the constitution. I wasnt elected to do the convenient thing, i was elected to stand up and do whats right and thats what i will do each and everyday. Thank you and god bless you. [ cheers and applause ] nbcs katy tur is with me. Kelly odonnell joins me now as well. Well, it was just an incredible night. I dont think ive ever seen a Convention Night unfold quite that way. Katy, i was there at the bottom of the steps watching donald trump in the shadows upstairs behind the family box in the dark out of the spotlight waiting for cue and as the new york delegation started booing ted cruz, on cue, he came down those steps and then just took it away. Paul manafort said anyone can read into it what they want but ultimately he was trying to get into place for his son erics speech.

Hes the guy whos not Chuck Grassley standing up there with the hat and he asked the question of Chuck Grassley at the town hall in iowa tonight that Rachel Maddow would have asked if she was there. He knew exactly what he was talking about. He asked it perfectly.
