Re “Cruz and Sanders Win in Wisconsin; Races Stay in Play” (front page, April 6):
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump appear like two marathoners who have hit the wall at the 20-mile mark.
Mrs.
Clinton, staggering through a succession of defeats, counting delegates
as if they were steps still needed to cross the finish line.
Mr.
Trump, off a week of self-inflicted wounds as he stumbled on abortion,
denigrated Heidi Cruz and insulted his way through Wisconsin. Almost
crawling to the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
Both candidates longing for New York and some home cooking, where they hope to regain the momentum that has now vanished.
Two
front-runners who have slowed to a walk, their coronations on the other
side of the mythical wall (no, not that one, Donald).
