Weekly Mail Special Report

 So this is what is commonly referred to as a bad night .

 As of 10 o'clock Tuesday night, Donald Trump has won a huge victory in the New York primary.  Of course this does not come as a surprise as he was leading in the polls for most of the cycle . John Kasich placed second, quite a distant second, but second nonetheless.  The good news is that Ted Cruz finished a pathetic third.

But what's the real disappointment for me tonight is on the Democratic side.  The first exit poll I saw had the score Hillary Clinton 52% to Bernie Sanders 48% .   I could've lived with that .

However,  as of 10 o'clock the score is Hillary Clinton 59% to Bernie Sanders 40% ,  A landslide victory for Hillary.

 I love my home state and I gave Cruz plenty of grief for the things he said about it .  But goddamn I just wish one year we would freakin think outside the box .  Every single time our people take the path of least resistance .  We always go for the front runner, it never fails .  And that's exactly what happened here tonight .

 I always think back to the election of 2000 as a prime example of how New York just doesn't use its imagination.  On the Democratic side that year you had a Rhodes scholar.  On the Republican side that year you had a war hero . Both of those men lost two sons of privilege.  Not to mention that that in that years U.S. Senate race, we voted somebody in based solely on the fact that She was the outgoing first lady.  Nothing more.

And now Hillary Clinton has parlayed that into at the very least the Democratic nomination for President, and most likely the Presidency itself.

 And Donald Trump, because let's face it, he was leading in the polls like he told anybody who would listen, ran away with the state as well.

 On top of everything else the Rangers lost 3-1 to those scumbag Pittsburgh Penguins and now trail 2 games to 1.

 At least the Mets clobbered the Phillies tonight.  Thank God for small favors .
