Trump: ‘It looks like five’ wins on Tuesday
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Sunday during a campaign rally he thinks he will sweep all five states in the upcoming contests Tuesday.
“Trump has millions of votes more by that time because you look Tuesday, it looks like five. I don’t know, but I believe in polls,” he said during the rally in Hagerstown, Md., when talking about the convention in July.

He said he expects to get to the 1,237 required delegates needed to secure the nomination ahead of the Republican National Convention in July and will add to his delegate count on Tuesday.
He is winning by millions and millions of votes, he said, while also calling the system unfair.
In each of the five states that vote on Tuesday — Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island — Trump has a double digit lead, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.
In Maryland, he has a 14.7 point lead over rival John Kasich. Trump had 41 percent support, followed by Kasich, with 26.3 percent, and Ted Cruz, with 24.5 percent.
