Donald Trump didn't just sweep every state last night — he won every single county that voted

It's Donald Trump's world — and we just live in it.

That statement came closer to being true after Tuesday night when Trump dominated the "Acela primaries," taking all five states and putting himself even closer to locking up the GOP nomination. But Trump, who takes winning seriously, might point out that he didn't just win all five states, he dominated in them —taking every single county in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Trump also won every congressional district in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware and all but six districts in Connecticut and one in Rhode Island. Trump even won Allegheny County in Pennsylvania, where John Kasich was born.

Trump likely only needs to win in two more states to be set as the Republican presidential nominee and avoid the dreaded contested convention. Key contests will be Indiana next week, as well as in delegate-rich California a little farther down the line.
