Why waste a lot of words, because it only takes two to recap these results. And they are “as expected.”
Because nothing happened we didn’t anticipate, which made these the cruise control primaries. As expected, Hillary burnt Bernie and–equally expected–The Donald trumped Cruz and Kasich.
So, what’s new? Clinton is knocking at the door of a nomination and Trump is trying to get his foot in the door of another. Clinton is clearly in control of the Democratic race and Trump is edging even closer to the number of delegates he needs to clinch the GOP nomination.
Will he make it? Or, will there be a contested Republican Convention? I don’t know and neither does anyone else. Maybe we should just enjoy the uncertainty.
At this point, Democrats are telling themselves Republicans can’t possibly win the White House; Republicans think the very same thing about the Democrats and no one can persuade either side they may be wrong. But that day will come in November, after we elect a new president.
What will the losers do then? And what will America do? Rant and complain, or–much worse–protest and riot? Nothing is out of the question.
Looking at it tonight, both parties will have unpopular candidates running for president. The election will follow a campaign of mutual destruction. So, please, consider carefully whom you support and what you’re wishing for.
What’s at stake is how united the United States is going to be.
