New York

The New York primary yesterday had decisive results.  Donald Trump not only won big, he won very, very big.  It was huge.  Trump won every country across the state.  That's not easy to do, but he did it.  Without a doubt, New Yorkers stayed with their fellow New Yorker.  Hillary Clinton also won big.  Her victory was not the same sort as Trump's however.  Hillary won New York City and its suburbs.  She tied Bernie Sanders across the rest of the state.  It was enough for a victory, but it will not end the questions about whether or not Hillary actually appeals to most Americans.

Despite the hype, the New York results are no more or less important than the results in the home states of other candidates.  Each of Kasich, Cruz, Sanders, Clinton and Trump have now won their home state.  Now it's on to next week and five more states.
