[No Dems 2016]

From the poll previously, Trump is steady at 54% (big lead!) while Kasich went from 21% to 25% while Cruz dropped from 18% to 16%, a distant third. Cruz is going nowhere.

I heard one guy in the Bronx was going to vote for Cruz, but than this guy walks his cat with a leash.

If Trump can take all of NY, and then the following week the vast majority of:

Connecticut
Delaware
Maryland
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island

...particularly PA, then he has a very, very good shot of closing this out before the convention...which is what he needs to do.

I expect Cruz, outside of NY on the 19th, is going to continue to accumulate a strong number of delegates...but if Trump can take all of NY (and it looks like he will) then Cruz will no longer have a path to the nomination on the first ballot.

At that point, IMHO, since the GOPe will only try and use Cruz to deny Trump and then discard him (Cruz) in the process, I hope Cruz throws in with Trump.

I say this as a Cruz supporter.

Right now, we need a united party and we need to absolutely ensure that the GOPe does not have a leg to stand on.

That will lead to victory in November.

Cruz can help make that happen by announcing May 1st that he is throwing in with Trump.
