From the April 8 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File:

KATRINA PIERSON: This delegate system is an extension of the state Republican Party. Therefore, a construction worker who maybe has two shifts and only been involved in the process for one or two cycles is not going to make it beyond the pyramid process from the precinct level or even the congressional district. He is working with the establishment and that's how he's getting those delegates. 

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): Everything she just said is right, is it not, Rich? I mean, that is all true, is it not?

RICH LOWRY: Yeah, and I think anyone who's writing Trump's political obituary is making a huge mistake. A big win in New York, a big win in California, he picks off a few unexpected states in between, he get could get to 1,237 -- above 1,237 and all this is kind of academic. But it is true the Trump campaign wasn't built for this. It was basically built as a media operation with Donald Trump going from phone interview to phone interview, and that worked brilliantly, much better than anyone would have expected. But now we may be getting into this granular delegate by delegate fight, and Ted Cruz is built for that.
