Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is holding five rallies across Illinois on Monday in the lead-up to its Super Tuesday vote tomorrow. Although the latest polls show Trump with a lead in Illinois, the Cruz rallies highlight the superior ground effort of his campaign. Donald Trump currently has around 36 percent support in Illinois. Cruz is around 25 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 19 percent. While Trump may win the overall vote in Illinois, it is possible he ends up with fewer delegates than Cruz, or even Kasich.
In Illinois, the winner of the statewide vote receives 15 of the state's delegates. Another 54 delegates are awarded through votes in the state's 18 congressional districts.
In each district, voters vote for a candidate and then must vote for up to three individuals to serve as delegates, each of whom are affiliated with one of the candidates....

“Ted Cruz Set to Claim Illinois Delegate Prize”
” Although the latest polls show Trump with a lead in Illinois”
Classic Cruz fan edit.
Maybe Cruz should hold some rallies in Chicago...
Now read the article. And Breitbart is Trump county, as you know.
Translation: He will get some delegates, THUS MAKING HIM THE WINNER!1!!!
Donald Trump currently has around 36 percent
What about the ones you didn't win. Hell, Rubio even beat you in Puerto Rico.
Just like when GW beat Gore but lost the “popular” vote.
The race is for delegates not “state wins”.
This ground game has never materialized. I guess having a bunch of government types go to vote is considered ground game like Wyoming. So far I have not seen this ground game he brags about.
Um, yeah, the article says that in the first paragraph.
Uh....if Trump has an 11-point lead, how is Ted Cruz set to “claim [the] delegate prize”?
Tomorrow will be a big day overall.
I support Ted Cruz, and really hope it gets down to a two man race. both of whom the GOPe loathes. That would be a good thing all around.
I believe Cruz can win a couple of the states tomorrow...but we shall see.
I am hoping that both Rubio and Kasich are knocked out of the race tomorrow. They are both playing to somehow become power brokers at a brokered convention and I hope that that does not happen...principally I hope because tomorrow they both lose.
When did Robert Mercer sell his controlling interest?
Hahahahaha! Iowa, Maine, Texas, etc., etc...
So they have to vote for delegates separate from the candidate? And Cruz has worked this angle for months?
Read the article.
Lying Ted claims a single delegate as a “win”. At times he seems totally detached from reality.
Go, Ted, go!
He's more authentically Cuban.
No detour through Canada.
Vote Cruz!
