This is bad news for Cruz, because Peter King is a very influential New York Republican and has the reputation as a moderate. Not getting his support - especially in light of Giuliani’s endorsement for Trump today - gives Cruz a very difficult terrain. In Wisconsin, one of the very few open primaries that Cruz has won, he had the establishment behind him all the way, but in NY it’s the exact opposite. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump got all 95 NY delegates.
Hahahahahaha! [gasp] Hahahahahaha! [wheeze]
I would. Do you realize that in order to get all 95 NY delegates, Trump must win each of New York's 27 congressional districts with 50%+1?
Each NY congressional district is alloted 3 delegates. Unless a candidate gets 50%+1 in that district, the winner gets 2 delegates and the 2nd place finisher gets 1 delegate.
So, if Trump gets 49.9% in CD-7, Cruz gets 20% & Kasich gets 19.9% (with the remainder split among candidates on the ballot who have dropped out), Trump will get 2 delegates and Cruz will get 1 delegate and Kasich will get none.
Trump may get 75 delegates, he won't get all 95.
