Two Very Different Campaigns

First Read: “With roughly two-thirds of the 2016 primary season now behind us, this past weekend epitomized the different strengths and weaknesses of the Donald Trump and Ted Cruz campaigns. In Colorado on Saturday, Cruz’s organizational superiority helped him sweep 34 pledged delegates at the GOP state convention, while the Trump effort was wholly disorganized.”

“But the next day came a reminder of Trump’s strength and Cruz’s weakness: A Fox News poll showed Trump over 50% in New York, which would give the real-estate mogul a chance to take all of the state’s 95 delegates, while it had Cruz in third place.”

“It’s becoming increasingly likely that the Republican presidential nomination will come down to whose strength is more powerful — Trump’s ability to win big states, Cruz’s inside game at conventions and caucuses — and whose weakness is a bigger liability.”
