NBC's Hallie Jackson reports Cruz has changed his focus to Pennsylvania and making a play for the state's unbound delegates. Jackson, the network's Cruz correspondent, said even if Cruz has a third place finish in Pennsylvania's Republican primary, he'll win more than half the delegates.
"It's very telling that's Ted Cruz tonight is not in Brooklyn or Manhattan or any of the boroughs or state. He's in Pennsylvania," reported Jackson.
"He'll be in Philly for his watch party tonight," Jackson said. "That's indicative of where he and his campaign see this race going, to Pennsylvania, where they are looking to make a play for these unbound delegates. Even if they come in a distant third, a top campaign aide tells me, they will still, they believe, pick up more than half the delegates there."

The fix is also already in for the May 3 primary in Indiana. The GOP bosses met last weekend and gave 57 of the 58 delegates to Cruz, one for Trump. People vote on May 3 just for practice. Trump could win 100% of the vote and Cruz wins 99.9% of the delegates. That is fact. Same thing will happen in PA. Trump wins again but GOPe will steal the majority of the delegates for the canadian. Makes no difference how the people vote.
You will change your mind when Trump takes office and starts shaking things up.
Have heard more and more former Cruz supporters not agreeing with his approach to stealing delegates.
You have no idea what I know about Trump.. That does not excuse letting Hillary pick approx 2-3 of our Supreme Court justices.. To me that is nothing more than traitorous.. I will vote for Cruz if he is the nominee because of the importance of the supreme court.. you go ahead and stay home if Trump is the nominee and I hope you are able to live with yourself..
Trump could likely win New York in the primary. He will win FL, OH, MI and many other purple states. He might win some blue states too. No way could Cruz win more states than Trump in the general. Cruz couldn’t win the South in the primary.
No other primary candidate has been so conniving to take away the will of the local citizenry voting choice.
It is really sad that Cruz thinks this type of behavior is okay. It’s a major turnoff and is only going to get more people to rally around Trump. Many Cruz supporters are turned off by Cruz’s attempt to steal the nomination.
Well, bye. Nice to know who the patriots are.
And you ain’t one.
We’ll take the country back without the help of the friggin’ Tories.
Didn’t “tell you how to do it.” I told you how it looks to everyone else.
So if you want to look like petty tyrants, feel free.
but I will walk for the first time in November.
Mrs. Bubba will be eternally grateful...
And can you guarantee donnie will pick conservative judges? Hell no, donnie thinks judges sign laws after being passed by the legislature. My grandkids know more about civics than him. My sons know more about international politics, religion, countries and races.
He might build a wall but it depends on what your definition of wall is. He cannot and will never put an import duty on Chinese goods. He will never be able to make Apple build their crap here. He will never send all the illegal aliens back. He said he will raise taxes. Yep, just what we need, a president learning on The job that will not fulfill his campaign promises.
Cruz WILL lose worse than Romney!!!!
He might; North Carolina could slip away, though I doubt it...
but yeah, Cruz would lose in November...
I’m not buying it.
HOW ABOUT cheaTED. No one will ever trust that man again.
If delegates were apportioned the way trump wants— votes by people
Trump would have a much smaller lead than he does now
The system is rigged
For trump
More Lonestar67 Bulls***. Trump is now 2,700,000 votes over teddy, divide those up per delegates and teddy is nothing.
No
Telling you the truth

Perhaps, but I don’t care.
This imminent schlonging of Cruz will put lots of pressure on the PA unbound delegates. Trump will continue to pound this delegates issue, putting lots of sunlight on the process.
I agree. Also look for Trump to start calling for Cruz to drop out after April 26th.
