Donald Trump's 34-point lead will be, or will very closely approximate to, his eventual margin of victory in the New York Republican primary.
Yes, it is a Republican primary.

I hope that Trump has genuinely imbibed a certain amount of economic patriotism, of foreign policy realism, and (although this is far more difficult to do) of social conservatism.
He has never shown the slightest sign of any of those in the past. Quite the reverse, in fact.
But if he has, then we may look forward to their influence on his dealings once he returns to being that which, fundamentally and ultimately, he is.

DeleteThe Evangelical leadership, or at least the better educated section of it, might very well also endorse Sanders against Trump, if those were the nominees.
For Sanders against Cruz, or for Clinton against Trump, a lot of them would just say nothing. And by saying nothing, say everything.
Only Clinton against Cruz would look anything like what was normal until the very recent past.
