A US military casualty in the fight against ISIS terrorist group. In northern Iraq yesterday, a US Navy Seal was killed during what was described as a coordinated assault by 100 ISIS fighter. This is the 3rd American dead in combat since US sent troops back to Iraq in 2014. At that time, President Obama said that American forces would not be returning in combat in Iraq. But last October, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said there are American troops in combat everyday though their overall role is to train and support local forces in their fight against ISIS. Secretary Carters said that the death of the Navy Seal shows that, It's a serious fight that we have to wage in Iraq. A spokesman from the Pentagon added that the US led coalition fighting ISIS would be honor the sacrifice by defeating the terrorist.
Going into yesterday's primary election of the US state of Indiana, former US Secretary of State, Hilliary Clinton, was leading V. Senator B. in the quest for the Democratic nomination. Clinton had 1,666 pledged delegates and 513 super delegates. S. had 1,359 pledged delegates and 41 super delegates. To clinch the nomination, a Democrat needs 2,383 total delegates. Businessman Donald Trump was leading Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Ohio Governor John K. in the quest for the Republican nomination. Trump had 1,002 delegates. Cruz had 572 and K. had 156. To clinch the nomination, a Republican needs 1,237 total in delegates. Both of the candidates in second place are hoping for contested convention this Summer to give them a shot of the nomination. But as you'll see in this report that Tom F. did before yesterday's primaries, their window may be closing.
Take a look at the latest delegate count here and you can see how Donald Trump is closing on the winning number. He only needs 235 more delegates to clinch the deal. But Ted Cruz is very effectively winning the shadow primary. This effort to make sure that more of the actual people filling the delegate rolls are his loyalists. He did it again in Arizona and Missouri and Virginia this past weekend. Why does this matter? Let's bring out Virginia and talk about it. Donald Trump won handily here over Cruz, more than 2-1 in the vote. This past weekend, the party selected 13 at large delegates. People to fill job. They have to reflect the state vote on the first vote at a contested convention if it comes to that. So, right now would be sort of like this. But Cruz so effectively stacked this group with his loyalists that if you get passed that the first vote, they could be expected to change their votes like this and suddenly Cruz would be dominated and Trump would essentially lose or could lose a state that he already won. This is the real Cruz strategy right now but he is running out of time and space to make it happen. 80% of the Republican vote has already happened out there. Donald Trump has won handily. Only 10 states remain the ones in yellow here, Indiana, that's one about 150 delegates that would be decided over this next month. And next month after that, there would be about 300 decided, the biggest one being California out there. If Donald Trump gets more than half of all the delegates in those remaining 10 states, that's it. It won't what Cruz did to work on a contested convention. They may not be one and it could be all.
