Sometimes it is amazing what comes out of the mouthpiece of a campaign.
Ted Cruz's challenged campaign manager is proclaiming that Trump should drop out if he cannot get over 50% in New York.
In that case, Cruz should drop out because he only got 43.8% in Texas. The opposition vote in Texas was 27% for Trump, but then 18, 4, and 4, for Rubio, Kasich, and Carson respectively. IOW, a non-Trump vote of only 26%.
Kasich is running second in New York, and Cruz had 18% at last count, well below the non-Trump vote in Texas of 26%. In fact, Cruz is in danger of scoring zero chance at any delegates in New York since there is a 20% lower threshold.
So, to wrap this up, if Cruz cannot get any delegates, and cannot beat Trump's 27% from Texas, then CRUZ should drop out.
Not Trump.
I already give to the freepathon...and over $100.
Do you?
Cruz is a very unlikable guy...
Wisconsin is San Francisco on the issue of illegal aliens. Therefore they voted for the candidate they know won't do a damn thing to stop illegal immigration: Ted Cruz
I didn’t know you were out of the delegate game if you don’t get 20 percent. It’s more important to keep Cruz below 20 percent then trump getting 50 percent. I’d rather Cruz get zero delegates.
Just keep Cruz under 20 percent and were good.
Perhaps the Mormons convinced him to change his state of residence to Utah.
So, to me, right now is all about getting noticed.

Yep, just as true in the political arena as it is in the world of entertainment.
I am sure Ted ,being an honest lawyer, will follow his own advice and drop out immediately. I shall be watching the media for the announcement.
Didn’t Diogenes travel around looking for an honest lawyer?
I am on track to be a Cruz Delegate via State Ass’y tomorrow.
I don’t begrudge you that. I am not for Cruz, but some are for sure on FR. Good luck!
A candidate who cannot get a majority of the vote among members of his party in his home state is too weak to win. The media blamed the Florida ballot problem for Al Gore’s loss in 2000, but if Gore had carried his home state of Tennessee he would have been elected president.
