Despite His New Victories, Trump’s Enemies Suddenly Smell Blood
- 8 years ago
Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz had a surprisingly good day on Saturday.
They both took their parties’ caucuses in Kansas, then Sanders added a win in Nebraska and Cruz came in with an unexpected victory in Maine.
But while most Democrats noted Sanders’ wins with a shrug and then went back to business as usual, Cruz’s similar achievements sent a jolt of excitement throughout the GOP and sparked anxious anticipation for things to come.
The gap in the attitudes was a result, among other things, of the different reactions of the two front-runners.
Hillary Clinton spoke in Michigan to her followers, barely acknowledged Sanders and kept on hammering Donald Trump and the Republicans as if her primary race was a mere formality.
Trump, on the other hand, convened a rather bizarre press conference at his Palm Beach golf club where he appeared before an audience that included an apparently bewildered contingent of hoity-toity vacationers in addition to several agitated journalists.
Trump seemed quieter than normal, more subdued, even more hesitant, not quite himself.
