Hillary Clinton (left) and Donald Trump are the front-runners for their respective parties in the 2016 race for president.
It was a big night for both Hillary Clinton and Donald trump in New York State.
The respective Democratic and Republican presidential front runners picked up the majority of votes in the New York presidential primary on Tuesday. As a result they will also receive a good portion of party delegates that come with the victory.
Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, emerged from New York’s presidential primary closer to clinching the Democratic nomination and becoming the first woman to reach that milestone. Following her win in New York, a jubilant Clinton made clear she was moving past her unexpectedly competitive primary battle with Bernie Sanders and setting her sights on the general election. Of the 247 Democratic delegates at stake in New York, Clinton picked up at least 135 while Sanders gained at least 104.
Trump is also eager to move past the Republican primaries. With at least 89 of New York’s 95 delegates in hand, he insisted it was “impossible” for any of his rivals to catch him and warned party leaders against trying to take the nomination away from him at the convention.
The front-runners now hope to replicate their strong showings in New York in the cluster of Northeastern states next up on the primary calendar.
Clinton was scheduled to spend Wednesday campaigning in Pennsylvania, while Trump had a rally planned in Maryland, as well as Indiana.

THE UNITED STATES WOULD BE HEADING FOR ‘BUSINESS AS USUAL’ IF CRUZ, KASICK OR EVEN HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON, WHO HAS A DARK HISTORY WILL RESURFACE ONCE TRUMP BECOMES NOMINEE. TRUMP CAN BRING BACK
By building the giant wall, that neither Sen. Cruz or Governor Kasich will do, the drugs that are killing our teenagers will just pour through 100’s of miles of open border. The wall will be a major obstacle to the illegal alien invasion, which Obama has dismally failed to end. He has manacled the duties of the US Border Patrol and given orders to let the hordes in by executive order.
Who are the Donald Trump Supporters?

To the Fanatical Trump voter they are just realizing their voting doesn’t count, so I can tell you know that if the GOP professional class think that the delegate count is a clever rip off, At the convention no matter whether Trump is out a 100 delegates or not Trump wins or all hell is going to break loose? Have no idea what the consequences are going to be, but when Donald Trump has millions upon million of voters and doesn’t win through sleight of hand, it could be gargantuan civil unrest at the worst, but however the majority have pledged to walk away and not vote. That’s a unnecessary death to the Republican party.
