I'm picking Leonard Cohen to take Manhattan.

Yeah OK, sorry. Go Bernie.

This is a bit of a long read, but it goes into detail on the likelihood of Clinton facing charges over her handling of emails as secretary of state:

Hopefully good news for the Democrats.

I find it ASTONISHING that Trump has won in New York. I assumed New York would be a bit like Melbourne. And kind of buck the trend of the more conservative regions of the country...

Didn't you look at the polling?

I did not. I read stuff about the polling. I still don't get it though. I just thought New Yorkers would not be Trump fans. Mistakenly.

Strong wins for Trump and Clinton in today's North-Eastern primaries, with Trump taking all five states on offer and Clinton taking all except Rhode Island.

Will be interesting to see what percentage of Sanders supporters either stay home or vote for Trump in the General election.

Could a Sanders supporter vote for Trump?!

Ted Cruz has dropped out after a pasting in Indiana!

 

[pecan]

Big news.

Indiana was crucial to denying Trump the delegates he needs to win outright. This article is from a couple of weeks ago:

Kasich reportedly set to drop out too:
