Trump sweeps all 5 primaries, Clinton wins 4 of 5
Donald Trump swept all five Republican primaries held Tuesday, beating back a new alliance between Ted Cruz and John Kasich designed to deny him the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the Republican nomination on the first ballot at the convention in July. Hillary Clinton won the biggest prize of all on the Democratic side by taking Pennsylvania. She also took the primaries in Maryland, Delaware and Connecticut. But Bernie Sanders battled back with a win in Rhode Island and kept it close in Connecticut.

Trump University fraud case heads to trial
A fraud case against Donald Trump's now-defunct online college will go to trial, New York Supreme Court Judge Cynthia Kern ruled during a hearing held Tuesday. The latest development concerning Trump University comes less than two months after a four-judge appellate court panel ruled in favor of allowing a $40 million lawsuit against Trump, which New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed in 2013. Schneiderman alleges that Trump and others lied to students about the caliber of instructors employed at Trump University and used "bait-and-switch" tactics to scam them out of tens of thousands of tuition dollars.

Kasich flops in friendly territory
John Kasich flopped Tuesday in states where he was supposed to prove his mettle, undermining the rationale for his underdog candidacy. True, the Ohio governor was poised to finish ahead of Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, and second to Donald Trump, in four of the five primaries held in the mid-Atlantic and northeast. But it was a distant second, and likely third in his native Pennsylvania. What's worse, it was in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island - home to the legions of pragmatic Republicans that Kasich has courted - where the governor was supposed to shine.

Cruz: After losses, campaign moves to 'more favorable terrain'
Ted Cruz on Tuesday night conceded that Donald Trump is poised to have a good night. But, Cruz argued, the 2016 race is about to turn back in his favor. "The media is going to say the race is over. The media is going to say Donald Trump is the Republican nominee," Cruz told supporters. "But I've got good news for you. Tonight, this campaign moves back to more favorable terrain. Tonight this campaign moves back to Indiana. And Nebraska, and North Dakota, and Montana, and Washington, and California."

Media falling out of love with Bubba
Former president Bill Clinton surfaced this year to do for his wife what reporters and commentators have said he's best at: campaigning. But since at least January, the once-glowing coverage of his legendary retail political skills has largely dimmed as well. "I would vote for sending Bill home, or maybe abroad," said liberal New York Times columnist Gail Collins, in an interview published Tuesday. "He's a tremendous politician, but the public needs to be really sure this is [Hillary's] race, not his. Or theirs." A U.S. News and World Report story on April 14 asked, "Is Bill Clinton losing his mojo?"

| On this day in 1810, Beethoven composed Für Elise, one of his most distinctive, popular, and well-recognized pieces of music. However, it was not published until 1867, 40 years after his death. It was around that time that the manuscript was found bearing the date. It is not known for certain whom the "Elise" was to whom the song was supposed to be dedicated. |

Cruz: Only Kasich and I can beat Clinton, Trump can't
In a Philly radio interview on Tuesday, Ted Cruz said only he can win both the GOP nomination and the general election, but added that John Kasich would also prevail over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. "In order to win, you've got to be able to, number one, win the nomination; number two, win the general," Cruz said. "There are two candidates in this race who can win the nomination: me or Donald Trump. The nominee will be one of the two of us. There are two candidates in this race who can win the general, me and John Kasich. There's only one person who can do both - win the nomination and win the general."
