Because NY is the bellweather of the modern GOP?
No, but if NY has about twice as many delegates as WI, and if Trump performs close to what current polling is projecting, he’ll capture over 50% of the vote and will capture significantly more delegates than what Cruz won in WI. A big NY win for Trump also mathematically eliminates Cruz from obtaining 1,237 1st ballot delegates.
Also, Cruz is projected to finish 3rd in NY - a big downward break from any positive momentum out of WI.
NY also will allow comparisons between the three remaining candidates with regard to how they perform in their home states. Trump is projected to be the only candidate that won his home state with more than 50% of the vote.
“Wonder what they’re going to call what Trump does in NY next Tuesday?”
