Guest Post by Karl Denninger
Trump won New York last night with roughly 60% of the primary vote.
With it, and the delegates that came with it (at least 89 of the 95 total), he has essentially shut out Cruz, who no longer has any rational mathematical way to reach 1237 delegates.
Cruz (and Kascich’s) only hope now is to actually steal the nomination from the man who has the greatest delegate and vote count at the convention. While one can argue that “this is all part of the rules” it’s also how the Republican Party, if it occurs, will destroy themselves just as the Whigs did.
The GOP establishment would probably be perfectly content with Hillary as President, as they’d then have their “foil” to rant about for the next four years. So be it, should they so choose.
But arithmetic doesn’t care about politics, nor does it respect such banal garbage.
We don’t have four more years when it comes to the health care budget disaster, both at a government and private level, that is about to rain down upon this nation.
