I’ve heard that if any candidate gets a majority of votes, he gets all the delegates in NY, otherwise they are awarded proportionally. Cruz know he can’t win NY, but he may be able to keep Trump below 50%.
I believe that is his whole point.
Trump winning 100% of the delegates in NY pretty much mathematically ends the Cruz campaign (not quite, but for all intents and purposes) in terms of having any path himself of getting over the 1237 number.
I am a Cruz supporter...but I do not want the convention to turn into a contentious fiascos.
If Cruz reaches a point where he is mathematically eliminated, I hope he throws in with Trump to unite the party.

At that point, only he will be able to do that definitively.
All the barbs and attacks against one another aside...their actual, positions statements are very close to one another...and the GOPe hates them both.

The present evidence says that Cruz has a reasonable chance of at least a plurality in NY.
