The data-driven Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% campaign is carefully targeting about a dozen Congressional Districts in New York State where it may have an opportunity to hold Donald Trumps vote total below the all-important, winner-take-all 50 percent margin in next Tuesdays GOP primary.
Cruz doesnt expect to come close to beating Trump overall in the Empire State, and may not even think he has a chance to keep the Manhattan billionaire below the 50 percent mark statewide.
But Cruz can further advance the narrative that the Trump campaign is losing steam if hes able to bring Trumps delegate total below the 75 of 95 available Breitbart currently anticipates he will earn in the state.
All 14 delegates elected statewide will be allocated to the winner, provided he exceeds 50 percent of the vote. The remaining 81 delegates will be allocated on the same basis, with 3 delegates selected from each of the states 27 Congressional Districts.
Once the winner, statewide or in a Congressional District, drops below 50 percent, delegates are allocated proportionally.

And Don-Don’s new delegate hunter compared Cruz and conservatives of being the Gestapo on Meet the Depressed Sunday.
It all adds up now. Liberal slime emanating from the Dark Tower located at Trump Plaza aimed directly at conservatives...just like the LIBERALS HE FUNDS.
BUT WE'RE GONNA GET A WALL.
As a new member of the Gestapo...do I get a hat?
They did have cool hats.

Why do you keep promoting the lie that Cruz performs worse against Hillary than Trump? That’s absolutely ridiculous. Trump’s negatives are far greater than Cruz’s.
They are registered to vote but as independents, which you know, Katie. BTW, have you researched Hillary or Bernie’s kids yet to see if they’re registered? I can’t wait to see the results of your search!
“Trumps negatives are far greater than Cruzs.”
Actually Cruz’s unfavorables are right up there with Trump’s. The difference is Cruz’s have been rising straight up for the last month.
Cruz Unfavorable 54.7 Favorable 32.6

Just look at the trajectory ... the more Americans get to know him, the more they don’t like him.
Yes, Ted guarantees a win for Hillary and the Uni party elites
I swear, and his team, this guy ROCKS!
The author of the article you posted is a self-avowed never-Trump member, so of course he found no fault with the system.
Cruz reminds me of Obama and his magical election as editor of the Harvard Review. He won on the third or fourth ballot as a consensus candidate, after whispering sweet nothings in the ears of his associates. Maybe your boy Teddy is basing the rest of his campaign on Obama’s playbook. What a “True Conservative” he’s shaping up to be.
You understand that Trump’s negatives are higher than Cruz’s, right? And that head-to-head, Trump loses to Hillary and Cruz wins, right?
Your guy DOESN’T rock it’s the GOPe doing this crap NOT your guy at all!! However if this is pulled off by the establishment you will ALL be STUNNED at the convention when your guy FINALLY gets the KARMA he is due!!! When the GOPe puts up a RYAN/KASICH ticket!!!
This is against the spirit of the primary system.
Yeah but Trump hasn’t even started on Hillary yet. When he does she is mince meat.
It’s so much easier when voters aren’t involved.
You really want to do that? Check it out:

As I said, Trump’s unfavorables are HIGHER than Cruz’s. That’s just the case.
Trump Unfavorable 64.4 Favorable 29.7
Cruz Unfavorable 54.7 Favorable 32.6
Nope.
Trump: Unfavorable 64.4 Favorable 29.7
Cruz: Unfavorable 54.7 Favorable 32.6
Yeah but Cruz hasnt even started on Hillary yet. When he does she is mince meat.
You have quite the problem with dissenting views, don’t you?
This isn’t the first time you’ve squealed for someone to be zotted.
There was a lady caller to Rush’s show today. She was at the Colorado GOP convention and, yes, she was free to vote for delegates, except that none of the delegates would say which candidate they were for. AFAIK, no Trump delegate was allowed on the ballot, so presumably all delegates were for Ted Cruz.
Not surprising. There will be a lot of stories like that coming out.
So Trump’s kids knowing their father was running for president (on the GOP ticket) didn’t understand that in order to vote for him in NY they had to register republican unless of course he planned on running as an independent.
If you want to know about Hillary’s daughter ask Trump’s daughter because they are close friends
