Tonight’s US primaries – “North East Tuesday”

Pulpstar on the White House Race Dems On the Democrat side, expect Hillary to add to her total – the question for Sanders will be whether he can keep the damage to under 300 pledged delegates and perhaps scrape out a win in Rhode Island – which looks his best shot.

And so the 2016 White House Race moves to delegate-rich New York

And if it is, then what? It is something of an irony that after months of saying outrageous things and winning more and more support off the back of it, Trump’s downfall might well be due to a sensible answer.

Forget Paul Ryan, it’s Cruz or bust for the NeverTrump campaign

If he fails to have reached the magic threshold 1,237 then all the media talk is of efforts being made at the convention to stop him being the…
