You’re damned if you do, and you’re damned if you don’t.
It’s a saying that is trite but true if you’re Donald Trump these days. Since the billionaire businessman kicked off his campaign last June he has been consistently accused of not providing specifics on his policies. Subsequently, every time Mr. Trump releases specific plans, his critics immediately pounce on them, calling them impractical or impossible.
The media has done it, his GOP rivals have done it, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have done it. So the Republican frontrunner has been between a rock and a hard place when it comes to whether he should release specifics or not.
His latest critic is not a surprising one. After previously attacking Trump for not releasing enough details on his policy plans and questioning the seriousness of his candidacy, our pundit-in-chief is after The Donald again. This time President Obama strongly criticized Trump for the statement his campaign released today on how a President Trump would get Mexico to pay for his border wall.
To read why Obama thinks Trump’s idea won’t work–hint: it’s not because it would be bad for the United States–continue reading on the next page:

Trump’s Delegate target is slipping from his “smaller than large” fingers

Donald Trump was expected to do well in the Wisconsin primary. He’d had good polls for himself in the state, but he flushed away his lead. He couldn’t close the deal!
To keep from falling further behind his pace to 1,237 delegates, he needed 18 from the state. He got six, an amount slightly smaller than large. So is it practically possible for him to get a majority anymore?
Trump_Cruz_Kasich Delegate Counts
Sure, he’s got states like New York coming, but that’s already baked into the cake. He’s currently 59 delegates behind FiveThirtyEight’s pace. But he has some favorable states ahead. Are they enough?
Let’s assume he sweeps New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware. His 538 projections only have him doing that in New Jersey and Delaware, so that nets him some delegates above pace. 37 in New York, 13 in Connecticut, 10 in Rhode Island would get him there. Merely losing two delegates somewhere in New York though, puts him back behind pace, and projected to be short of a majority in Cleveland.
New York is Winner Take All by Congressional District, but only if the winner gets 50%, or no other candidate gets 20%. It’s virtually certain that one of Ted Cruz or John Kasich will get 20%, so the burden is on Trump to get over 50 in every district of New York. Every time he fails, he loses a delegate.
Obama is all wrong and it is us citizens who will suffer.
Isn’t it 2017 yet
