Its not complicated.
Kasich is popular in the northeast because he is more liberal.
Trump is more popular in the Northeast because he is more liberal.
Trump will not win New York in a general election. Kasich will not either.
Cruz can seek the support of delegates within the state conventions of all of these places— and yes that is fully legal, legitimate and ethical.
The fact that these states are so liberal does not mean the states should not be able to sway to the RNC toward a conservative candidate.
AS far as I can tell, Trump does not dislike either Clinton or Sanders as much as he deeply hates Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz has been called a communist here at FR and is regularly compared to Kim Jong Un— a deadly dictator who kills hundreds with impunity.
I honestly have not seen any Democrat or liberal vilified on Free Republic the way Ted Cruz has been attacked.
I won’t back down.
You can be absolutely sure of that.
Mock until your cisterns of cynicism run dry.
My well overflows.
I guess Donald Trump was rather popular in the "liberal" SOUTH as well, which he virtually swept?
Get back with us when you can employ actual logic...
Your rationale does not hold up in most states won by Cruz, with Trump winning in the conservative, less urban or rural counties and Cruz winning in the more liberal, urban counties.
Why is that?

Cruz is done and there will be pressure for him to step down as he should. If he had any decency about him, he would.

It is bizarre, is it not?
Ted Cruz is one of the most conservative candidates we’ve seen for some time, and he is hated by half of FR.
