Video @ above link. Ted Cruz is campaigning in Scotia, near Albany, before the New York presidential primary elections April 19.

Maybe Cruz can win high school president.
However, for alienating a whole mess of people, he seems to have a majority of delegates, and counting actual votes, is literally millions ahead of second place, so, there is evidence of a modicum of support out there.
As a theatre, the southeast was R.Cruz' strength, but he could not garner sufficient support, was a blow out instead.
Now comes the northeast, and currently on paper it does not bode well for the sitting senator.
The west coast is said to be in play by some, however I remain skeptical that R. Cruz pulls a majority of votes his way.
So, as much as D. Trump generates all this hatred, he sure gets those votes, no?
Oh, just to be on the record, I have no problem voting for R. Cruz should he become the nominee.
I simply would like the one who gets the most votes in the primaries (what is the definition of primary elections, anyways?)to get a shot, as it is that person that most have chosen as their representative for high office, not delegates who are sworn to support the individual, but wish to jump ship and vote their choice instead.
He will not win any delegates
He is done
Wasting millions on a campaign to nowhere
Cruz will be mathematically eliminated after NY.
Not quite that soon but on April 26 Cruz will.

Cruz won’t win any of them, because lots of ex New Yorkers live in these states.
Hey, I totally agree.
However, that PA one is 17 guaranteed and 54 are not committed. Knowing the way things go, I bet Cruz gets every one of them.
Cruz is showing up in NY to show he doesn’t wear a string tie and wave a Bible around.
Trump is an egomaniac. He who speaks of himself in the third person. He who consults with himself and his good brain. He who fell behind the curve on delegate management- and finally woke up and hired an establishment operative to help him. If he can't manage delegates how can he manage a nation?
Not aware of any ex ny’ers in RI.
Yes, it is about delegates and Trump was not aware of how to manage the delegate process. He finally woke up and hired an establishment operative to help with this. He is seriously behind the curve. Bad management.
I don’t find him warm. I find him condescending
and my perception of him as a man of principles was destroyed
when he posted this lying, distorting video....

In the general election cruz has zero chance of winning NY state.
Trump has a chance.
I have never in my life seen such delusional supporters as the Cruzbots are. IT is he, Cruz, who has run the sleaze campaign, wrought with dirty tricks and bald-faced lies. Get your facts straight.
Do you have any idea who all the high school kids behind him, were, with one bald guy peeking out from among them?
I don’t know what venue this is at—maybe a school!
Well, I and thousands of other people have donated that money to get him elected. He is using it to try and get votes.
What is the problem?
It is not getting the most votes, it is securing a majority. Every GOP nominee for President had to earn a majority to become the nominee. In the recent past, we haven't had a candidate reach the convention without a majority. So conventions have deteriorated into coronations/ parties.
Now it is a distinct possibility that the GOP delegates will have to reach the decision the caucus attendees and primary voters could not in round 1. By necessity, Trump and Cruz will have to compete in round 2, to convince their own delegates to remain loyal (most will, but each will lose some) and gain enough additional support to get over 50%+1 to reach a majority.
LOL
At a Christian school. The students all went, and knowing the schools who host such events, the parents were strongly encouraged to go as well as a way to participate in the process with their children. If Cruz had a free-style type rally in a non-secular venue ... I am guessing the turn out would have been about like the one in the Bronx.
This school gym can hold up to 1300 according to the ad. So, students, a bunch of parents, and some locals. I didn’t see any photos showing the full size of those attending.
Cruz will never get “real” voters to any of his “New York” rallies, nor will he attract many voters in the Northeast states coming up to POTUS Primaries. HIs New York “hate” rants have killed him, politically!!! What a fool!!!
I just found this in a partial article for the local paper:
“Cruz appeared at a campaign rally of nearly 1,000 supporters Thursday”
There were 1300 tickets given out. The student body attended. Less than 1000 turned out including the students.
I haven’t seen photos, but there was one very brief camera shot at the end of the speech when Cruz stepped off the platform, and there were few people in that frame.
His point in being there is to keep Trump stationary in NY by hugging his tail....while his ground crew works the delegates in the states Trump “cancelled” his events in....LOLOL.....Trump took the bait....and is hooked...lololol
