Trump is at 32% in Illinois, Cruz is at 22%. Very possible to win Illinois in a head to head matchup.
Trump is at 28% in North Carolina, Cruz is at 19%. Again, very possible for Cruz to win here in a head to head.
Trump is at 21% in Pennsylvania, with Rubio at 18 and Cruz at 16, Kasich at 16. Cruz wins this in a head to head.
You are correct that Trump wins New Jersey and New York.
Oh well. Sad that the only possibility for Cruz to MAYBE win is to get rid of competition. Trump wins with competition. You must hate having to work hard. Cruz wants to win easy. Why doesn’t he convince voters he’s the best regardless of whose in the race?
This hypothetical crap is just that Crap. When votes got to the polls, they had a chance to back Cruz, and guess what, they didn’t.
The best thing for Trump right now is for Rubio and Kasich to stay in this thing as long as possible.
Facing Cruz alone is much more problematic for him in these states you mentioned.
