Trump’s Changing America

Trump’s Candidacy Is in Motion, but His Campaign Is a Work in Progress

The world’s eyes have been on Donald Trump. Not just in America, but in Europe, for example. On Monday, Donald Trump defeated Ted Cruz, becoming the first major-party presidential candidate since 1976 to defeat his political party’s front-runner. Since then, the race has gone off the rails.

At the time, Ted Cruz was thought to be the front-runner, too, with his long history of supporting the same types of policies as Trump.

He said he wasn’t ready to go to New Hampshire and Iowa before the primaries in early January, and he said he wasn’t going to do enough to do his part (like, say, win Iowa’s caucuses) to gain traction before the Republican National Convention on July 18 in Cleveland, Ohio.
