“Believe it or not, I am a unifier,” Trump continued. “I think it’s time to unify. We have something special going in the Republican Party. And unfortunately, the people in the party, they call them the elites…but those are the people that don’t respect it yet. We have millions and millions of people coming up and voting.”…

In one sense, the entire staging of the Trump National election-night event was a reaction to Romney. Romney had ridiculed a number of Trump’s smaller, failed, ventures — Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks and more. “A business genius he is not,” said Romney.

On Tuesday, Trump, never afraid to show just how thin his skin can be, set up tables on either side of the podium, and on those tables he stacked bottles of Trump Wine — Trump Rose and Blanc de Blanc sparkling, plus Chardonnay, all from Trump Winery in Charlottesville, Virginia — and shrink-wrapped cases of Trump Water. He added a copy of Trump Magazine and then, as he walked in to take the microphone, he had workers bring in big trays of raw steaks. Trump spent an amazing amount of time defending and justifying these minor ventures against Romney’s attack, which seemed a bit out of balance given the victories Trump had just won.

But the story of the night was not wine or water. It was those two new victories in diverse parts of the nation. Trump has now won New Hampshire and South Carolina and Nevada and Alabama and Arkansas and Georgia and Massachusetts and Tennessee and Vermont and Virginia and Kentucky and Louisiana and Mississippi and Michigan. Even bigger tests lie just a week ahead. But at this stage Trump is absolutely dominating the Republican race.
