Before we begin debunking, let’s start with the obvious: It was undoubtedly a good night for Trump and unsurprisingly so, as NR’s Henry Olsen predicted on election eve.
Trump looks to have taken 90 delegates and 60 percent of the vote, somewhat better than projections, although most election-eve forecasts had him taking at least 85 or so of New York’s 95 delegates (Olsen had him pegged for 87).
But despite his victory, Trump got only a very modest bump from New York last night. And despite the breathless TV and print commentary from our New York–centered media, he still faces huge obstacles if he wants to get a sufficient number of delegates to be nominated on the first ballot. And if he is not nominated on the first ballot, given Cruz’s wildly successful delegate strategy, it is unlikely he will be nominated at all.
In fact, according to the analysis of the widely-respected 538.com, Trump actually fell just short of the number of delegates he needed in New York to put himself on the path to the magic number of 1,237.
And, though he should have a good week next week when Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island vote, he will need a New York–level performance, not just a victory, if he wants to substantially improve his nomination odds.
New York and the five states voting next Tuesday are all part of the Democrats’ “blue wall.” Democrats have won all of these states in each of the last six elections. Only one of these states (Pennsylvania) has given more than 45 percent of its vote to the GOP candidate in any of the last six elections. New York and Rhode Island have never even given 40 percent to GOP candidates during this time.

NR meets the official Rumsfeld definition of “dead-enders”.
You can just see the morons at NR sitting around in a circle, their hands over their ears, shouting
“LA LA LA LA LA LA I can’t hear you LA LA LA LA.”
National Review printing Redstate trash?
Dang how low you all have gone.
Input from The National Review.

Same as the output I just flushed
LOL! That's almost exactly what I was going to post except I was going to say they had their fingers in their ears!
NR is just upset Trumpers didn’t all die yesterday.
Ha Ha. They are losing like their candidate. Cruz needs to take his own advice he gave to ksick. DROP OUT.
They’re so deep in denial, there’s no turning back.
Even if all those ‘know it all people’ that write the trash for NR think Trump is out, they are wrong...
Trump is the President-Elect...
So St. Ted does better than expected in WI and it’s “THE RACE HAS CHANGED” but Donald of Queens does better and it’s “NOTHING HAS CHANGED.”
Interesting double standard.
What’s hilarious is that Trump will win more primaries in ONE DAY next tuesday than Cruz has the ENTIRE campaign season.
National Review, you are disgusting. Bill Buckley is twisting in the grave over most of the crap you print. Belongs in the New York Times.
The article...yet another infectious, eruptive, drip, designed to contaminiate the heart, soul, and mind of decent, gentle people who love this country, seeking to salvage it from filthy pustules intent to destroy it.
These yokels are as delusional as sCruzballs!
DENIAL: It aint just a river in Egypt anymore. It is the core principle of a magazie that has jumped off the track and is headed off the cliff.
538 is based on averaging old polls which will not reflect current situation nor affect future results of campaigning, advertising and momentum building. 538 also needs a close race to keep interest.
What’s a Trumper?
