When Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz came to the Bronx to campaign in the run-up to the New York primary, ridicule was not far away. After all, what is a Republican candidate doing in the staunchly Democratic, minority-majority northern part of New York City? What is he doing in New York State at all, when Donald Trump is nearly certain to carry the most votes and, according to market-based forecasts, has an 85 percent chance to win more than 50 percent of the vote?
Why would Ted Cruz campaign in the Bronx?
For someone like Cruz to campaign exactly where Republicans are least popular is actually a very reasonable strategy. Thats because 81 of 95 delegates are allocated equally between the 27 congressional districts. While congressional districts are drawn by population size, the number of registered Republicans per district varies widely in New York.
As a consequence, some congressional districts will have their three delegates decided by just a few hundred voters....

You have to throw the race card? Or are you claiming he was unfairly convicted?
Don't be ridiculous, everyone knows that title belongs to Trump, after all he tells us so almost every day!
I hate to ask because I think your posts are dreadful but why are you so enamored with Bill Mitchell?
Is this person important in some way?
HLM also once said that every election is an advance auction on stolen goods.
Why do you call him a “turd” employer?
I am guessing you don’t have any substantive arguments.
Am I right?
Actually, neither. Although as I recall, the conviction was a little iffy, IIRC. In any event, Tyson has "paid his debt to society".
Ted Cruz is the one who threw the race card in this campaign. One of the main reasons he lost my support.
I was simply pointing out that Donald Trump is doing will with appealing to the Black community.
Donald Trump's broader demographic appeal and potential is yet another advantage he enjoys over Ted Cruz, and why he will be a much stronger general election candidate.
Vote Trump...
ping
No, but sCruz is.
Sorry didn’t catch that too busy pointing and laughing at your loser candidate. Start calling those NY delgates pal lolol
Trump winning New York is not very impressive.
Cruz is an excellent conservative candidate.
Trump is anti conservative.
Looks like Bill Mitchell, whoever that is, has been smoking some bad cactus.
Tyson come out on his own. I don’t even remember Trump mentioning anyone except Dana White.

“Cruz looked like a fool campaigning in the Bronx, and a lot of people made fun of him for it, but it was actually brilliant. In a 99% democrat district, a few dozen extra voters could give Cruz the delegates. Cruz might have won those votes just by showing up where no other republican would ever go. Trump needs to have his people working every district, especially the ones that only have a few republicans. Its not just about the headlines for his landslide. Cruz is gaming the system for the delegates (which is what matters), and Trump needs to play the game hes in by the rules of that game.”

I beat the writer by four days, although this should have been obvious to any professional. I wonder if he reads FR for inspiration, or if he’s one of the few intelligent journalists working these days.
It least trump is over the hump. Cruz still isn’t at half the delegates needed to 1237. Yieks!
Yes but the south was impressive and with the northeast the combo makes it impressive.
Its not Ted Cruz who is quoting convicted rapists to show his level of support. It’s Sleazy tRump and his supporters Desperation anyone? .
Cruz just needs to keep Trump away from 1237.
I think he can do that.
Your guy sCruz just can't win when people are allowed to vote.
