1. ‘They feel very, very guilty’
Ivanka Trump has made at least five get-out-the-vote ads on behalf of her father, and Eric Trump has tweeted voter deadlines. But neither Trump child is a registered Republican.
That means they can’t vote in New York’s 19 April primary, where pops is striving to pass a 50% threshold that would give him a delegates sweep. “They feel very, very guilty,” Trump said.

2. Trump attacks delegates rules
“Corrupt”, “rigged”, “unfair” and “bad” – all adjectives applied by Trump to the delegate system, after he lost multiple delegates fights over the weekend.
Trump may be losing control, but he’s not going anywhere
Poll watchers in Colorado, Iowa, South Carolina, Indiana and elsewhere said poor local organization by Trump and a high level of organization by Ted Cruz had given Cruz an edge.
Trump’s new “convention manager” Paul Manafort, however, had a different view. “You go to these county conventions and you see the Gestapo tactics,” he said, promising formal complaints.

3. Clinton up 12 in New York – poll
Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 51-39 among New York Democrats, a Monmouth poll found. Non-Democrats, including tens of thousands of New Yorkers who belong to progressive parties, can’t vote in the Dems’ primary.

Summary
Clinton had good polling news from AP, too, which found that Americans pick her over Donald Trump, 33-28, when asked “which candidate they trusted more to make the country great”.
