If I were Cruz’s campaign manager, I would work on NY to try and get as close as I can. See if I could pick up a handful of delegates. Mostly though try to beat Kasich in New York. For the rest of those states Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Indiana are the prizes I would focus on.
PA, has 54 delegates that are unbound
CT, the last poll I saw was weeks old and had Cruz in a very close second.
IN, Also has a very big delegate haul.
If Cruz can limit Trump to only winning 85 delegates in New York. Carry IN and CT, and get the unbound delegates in PA he would be in good shape.
