Too bad your boy Cruz is scared to campaign in NY. You can’t win if you don’t campaign.

I will predict that Cruz gets more delegates from New York than Trump got from Wyoming and Colorado.

Maybe he doesn’t need to waste resources. Remember, the Donald always underwhelms and Cruz overwhelms on Primary day. So if Trump is at 52-55% in the polls, He is most likely to perform 5-10% less. If Cruz gets 20-25 delegates in NY state that would be a success for him.

“Too bad your boy Cruz is scared to campaign in NY. You can’t win if you don’t campaign.”
________________

Not “scared”, just smart! Cruz is playing the long game...Cruz knows that NY is lost; he’ll play in a few NY congressional districts and hope to pick up some delegates...he realizes Trump is strong in the Northeast and will pick up a good chunk of delegates in the next two weeks...but not enough for a 1st ballot win!

The coming weeks are more about building for more favorable destinations like IN and the remaining Western states! This will be more fertile ground for Cruz. It all comes down to delegate math...to keep Trump below 1,237. Trump is screaming now about the delegate process because he knows that he screwed up by not paying attention to this sooner. But, that’s the whole game and Cruz has superior ground forces in place in most of these upcoming states!

Personally, I think that Trump will likely eke out a first ballot win, but just barely. That said, it is still very difficult for Trump at this point. I envision a scenario where Cruz can actually cobble together a 1,237 majority on the first ballot by combining his bound delegates (probably 750-800) with most of the 350-400 delegates won by Rubio & Kasich, plus most of the 150-200 “unbound” party-loyal delegates from around the country...

When he loses NY he won’t whine and stomp his feet like little trumpy does however.
