Ted Cruz's decisive victory in Wisconsin over Donald Trump now makes the possibility of a contested convention, once dismissed as remote by many commentators (myself included), ever more likely.
To clinch the Republican nomination, a candidate must obtain a majority of delegates to the Republican National Convention, the magic 1,237. In order to win outright, Trump now needs 55 percent of the remaining delegates in up coming contests.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — On the eve of Election Day, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump took to the stage at a rally in the heart of the Granite State and made an announcement sure to send a vast chunk of New England sports fans into a fit, telling the crowd he had received "the most beautiful" letter of endorsement from Patriots head football coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick, according to Trump, wrote to the Manhattan real estate mogul to praise him for dealing with an "unbelievable slanted and negative media" and for "coming out beautifully" from his rough-and-tumble campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
