Trump can win New York State - Cruz can't. NY is a Democrat gimme in most elections. But to have to work and possibly lose NY this time would be a blow to Dems with lasting effects.
Trump can win New Jersey. Cruz can't.

Same for Michigan, possibly Ohio.
You are too optimistic. No one can take NY from Mrs. Bill: it’s ingrained in the Empire people.
Not only do I agree with your assessment of the Convention dynamics, I’d like to offer these additional points to ponder:
Trump can win New York State - Cruz can’t. NY is a Democrat gimme in most elections. But to have to work and possibly lose NY this time would be a blow to Dems with lasting effects.
Trump can win New Jersey. Cruz can’t.
