Virtually everyone thinks that Donald Trump is going to win today in a landslide and that this will effectively end the Republican nomination.\u00a0 It would have been wiser for them to wait for actual results, because so far, in every election, Trump has underperformed in the actual election and both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have over-performed.\u00a0 Contrary to what you hear on Fox News, Cruz has actually done better than Rubio.\u00a0 For example in South Carolina the pre-election polls had Rubio at 18.8 and Cruz at 18.5.\u00a0 The actual results were Rubio 22.5 and Cruz 22.3.\u00a0 So both outperformed the polls by a significant margin and Cruz actually did slightly better than Rubio. So even if voting follows prior trends, it will be much closer than what is being reported.\u00a0 In addition Trump has been hit hard over the last few days.\u00a0 That may help him do even better, but it could also hurt him.\u00a0 We won\u2019t know until tonight.<\/p>\n

But even if Trump has a huge day today, this race is far from over.\u00a0 The problem is that Trump was hit with a bombshell today.\u00a0 The New York State Appeals Court not only upheld some class action civil cases against Trump University, it upheld a fraud clase filed by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.\u00a0 Schneiderman is a Democrat closely associated with Governor Cuomo, but this is a far cry from the Travis County grand jury indictments against Tom Delay and Rick Perry.\u00a0 Regardless of the political motivation, this case has the ugly odor of truth.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Ted Cruz nailed it when he said this:<\/p>\n

“I want you to think about, if this man is the nominee, having the Republican nominee on the stand in court, being cross-examined about whether he committed fraud,” Cruz said during the debate. “You don’t think the mainstream media will go crazy on that?”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sounds about right.\u00a0 As Yogi Bera said, the opera isn\u2019t over until the fat lady sings.\u00a0 In this case, contrary to what is being reported in the media, she hasn\u2019t even started to warm up yet.<\/p>\n
