I think the damage is already done, tbh, and this is just another version of it.

I can't imagine how this affects Trump's support at all in the republican party though.

On the other hand if Trump clears 50% in New York (which seems likely) that's game over.

If Trump hasn't brought it up you don't have a reference point and you know it. A lot of the things he hammered people on in the primary had been brought up before to no effect.

I don't loving get it. Are these people so blinded with dumbass rage and self righteousness that they'd rather direct their anger towards something like this versus actual policy? Jesus christ.

not at all. I'm not saying I endorse the analysis, but this 538 counts up an average of expected results in upcoming states: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-most-important-states-on-trumps-path-to-1237-delegates/

even if you give him all 94 from NY, he's still barely short of 1237 going in, and he has to convince a handful of unpledged delegates to vote for him on the first ballot. At 1232 or whatever, that's obviously no problem. if he slips - maybe losing more of the GOP women's votes? - in CA, WI, or IN, he could easily be short even if he gets all of em in NY, NJ, etc

I still think it's well above 50% that he gets above 1237 on the first ballot, but if it goes to 2nd ballot, I can easily see it getting stolen

Trump could crucify Ted Cruz and proclaim Cruz the second coming of Jesus Christ before setting him alight in the name of Satan and it would boost his numbers 2% minimum.

e: Meanwhile Kasich dies in a car crash because he forgot to buckle up, Trump gets 110% of the vote because winners like him don't get a mere 100%.
