M. Thatcher :" Get ready to be disappointed, then. Cruz is absolutely loathed in New York. Even he has no idea how much."

WRONG !
Cruz is absolutely loathed in New York CITY !.
Once you get 30-40 miles out of NYCity , the State becomes more politically Conservative ,
and one of the reasons why Gov. CUOMO has done little to develope UPSTATE jobs ,economy , energy fuels, etc., etc.
Even the recent "State of the State" address was held in NEW YORK CITY, where Cuomo promised the unions more money, etc., and is trying to out-Socialist, even 'UNCLE BERNIE' !

Once you get 30-40 miles out of NYCity , the State becomes more politically Conservative ,

Which is why Trump will win handily there. He wins the most conservative demographic in actual elections, as he did in the entire Bible Belt.

Do not try to school me on New York state. I am a New Yorker, born and bred, for 55 years. Recently moved to FL.
