After yesterdays primary wins, Trump now has 949 delegates while the Cruz/Kasich/Rubio count stands at 866. Giving Trump an 83 edge in the total to date. It also makes next week’s Indiana contest extremely important with 57 delegates at stake.

However, as far as Trump is concerned, he has another major problem to worry about.

FoxNews.com reports: “A New York judge decided Tuesday that a fraud case against Donald Trump over his former school for real estate investors will go to trial – raising the possibility that the Republican presidential primary front-runner could testify during campaign season. 

“New York County Supreme Court Judge Cynthia Kern made the decision at a hearing Tuesday, though it remains unclear whether the case will be weighed at a jury trial – which is what Trump’s team is seeking. Trump attorney Jeffrey Goldman said it’s possible the trial could be held this fall, and Trump could testify.” 

New York Attorney General (AG) Eric Schneiderman, has accused Trump and others of misleading thousands of students over the school. The AG’s argument is that “Trump University was unlicensed since it began operating in 2005 and promised lessons with real estate experts hand-picked by Trump, only one of whom had ever met him. The attorney general said the school used "bait-and-switch" tactics, inducing students to enroll in increasingly expensive seminars.” 

Now, obviously, when a Democrat judge decides to hear a case against a Republican presidential candidate during an election campaign, political bias is certainly something to consider. However, when that same candidate has a history of bankrupting businesses, while failing at others, it certainly presents an indication that further investigation into the case seems warranted. 

It also means that until all sides of the case have been heard in a proper forum, all outside speculation and favoritism by political supporters is absolutely meaningless until a verdict is reached.  

Aside from legal issues, what’s most interesting is that regardless of how many of those considering themselves “establishment” Republicans resent and revile Trump’s interjecting himself into their party, he’s setting records for primary voter turnout. 

On the other side, though, despite the major media’s attempts to support and bolster presumptive nominee Bill Clinton’s wife, her own party doesn’t seem excited at all about her candidacy. 

In Trump’s case, Kyle Cheney @politico.com/blogs, writes: “Trump surged to 9.9 million votes, according to totals that include Tuesday’s preliminary results across the northeast and could rise further as the final votes are counted. That’s already more than 100,000 more than Romney earned in the entire 2012 primary season and tens of thousands more than John McCain earned in 2008. 

“Trump is certain to pass McCain’s total next week in Indiana, but more importantly, he’s positioned to easily pass the modern record-holder George W. Bush — who collected 10.8 million votes in 2000.

At the same time, according to Matthew Boyle and Andy Badolato  @breitbart.com: “Election data compiled by Breitbart News on the Democratic Party’s primaries and caucuses in 2016 and 2008 show that turnout in is down significantly, nearly 20 percent, from the last contested election. 

“The steep drop off is so significant on the Democratic side that the vast majority of states saw drops in voter participation in Democratic primaries and caucuses. The following contests saw less voters participate on the Democratic side in the primaries and caucuses than 2008’s contests: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Utah, Wisconsin, Vermont, American Samoa, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Washington state, and Wyoming. 

To date, only a handful of states have seen increased Democrat voter participation, with their likely nominee, Bill's wife, only increasing primary votes in one of the states she won this cycle as compared with 2008’s primary turnout. "Every other state she has won this year has seen less turnout from last go-around.” 

And therefore, the statistics clearly confirm an underlying dislike for Bill’s wife within her own party that all the media hype in the world can’t overcome. No matter how hard they attempt to slant their reporting.   

 

Which leads right into today’s update on her, as follows: 

Yesterday Trump said: “If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she would get 5 percent of the vote.” 

Despite suggestions that the remark is sexist, Trump defended it during a round of television interviews Wednesday, saying "he’d continue to call her out if he thought she was playing the gender card."

On CNN, Trump said: ‘“She is a woman, she is playing the woman card left and right. Frankly, if she didn’t, she would do very poorly. If she were a man and she was the way she is, she would get virtually no votes.” 

Thus, what’s most important here is Trump’s willingness to say whatever he feels will help him most at the moment, regardless. And in that way, it’s apparent that should he and Bill’s wife become their party’s presidential candidate he’ll continue the verbal onslaught. 

Which means that, sooner or later, every skeleton in the Clinton family closet will be aired over and over again. Also indicating that with the help of Judicial Watch, Judge Andrew Napolitano, recent disclosures in the Panama Papers, the Clinton Foundation abuses and the ongoing email investigation by the FBI, Trump’s going to have masses of material with which to discredit her. 

Provided of course that he himself isn’t locked-up for fraud regarding his own questionable university. 

Bringing up the recurring question once more: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?   

That’s it for today folks.
