Donald Trump Speech To New York Republican Gala (Video)…

Candidate Donald Trump was literally “at home” in the ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Hotel last night as he spoke to the membership of the New York Republican Party.
Donald Trump actually built the room he, and all the remaining candidates, were speaking in.  The Grand Hyatt was his very first large-scale construction project in Manhattan during a time when New York City was in dire straits and most had given up on the Big Apple.
Trump gave a humorous speech outlining some of his history in the city and drew subtle, and not-so subtle, analogies/references to rebuilding government and remaining loyal.

The New York Post Endorses Donald Trump…

New York Post – Donald Trump is a rookie candidate — a potential superstar of vast promise, but making rookie mistakes. The nominee Republicans need for the fall campaign is often hard to make out amid his improvisations and too-harsh replies to his critics.
New Yorkers vote Tuesday. What to do?

Here’s how we see it.
Should he win the nomination, we expect Trump to pivot — not just on the issues, but in his manner. The post-pivot Trump needs to be more presidential: better informed on policy, more self-disciplined and less thin-skinned.
Yet the promise is clearly there in the rookie who is, after all, leading the field as the finals near. (more…)

Three Newly Released Trend Polls Show Donald Trump Climbing, Ted Cruz Collapsing…

Bad Newz For Cruz

A series of brand new trend polls (three – full pdf’s below) highlight an ongoing discussion/trend. With increased visibility Senator Ted Cruz support decreases.
It would be inaccurate to say Cruz is collapsing, if it were not for multiple polls indicating the same trend line.  However, when you have three completely disparate polls, indicating an almost identical retraction, you cannot dismiss the reality.
Fox News and IPSOS Rueters both identify the issue on a national scale, and within the CBS polling of Pennsylvania voters you find the specifics as to why.  First, the Fox Trend Poll showing Donald Trump extending his lead over Cruz to 18 points, as Cruz support plummets by 11 points in a month:

Trump tops Cruz by 45-27 percent among GOP primary voters in a new Fox News national poll on the 2016 election.  John Kasich comes in third with 25 percent. (more…)
