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."

Garbage article.
Yeah this is BS shady tactics to come in a distant third but get the most delegates. The GOP-e/Cruz ticket is working overtime to make sure the fix is in.
Rules are rules. lol
At this point Cruz has no credibility left. He is going to get schlonged in the next 4-5 primaries. There won’t be much left after that. Look for his polling numbers to tank even worse and the calls for him to exit start up in the next two weeks. You can’t be coming in second much less third at this stage of the race.
Cruz could never beat Hillary without cheating, but good luck with that.
Cruz cannot win the majority vote of his own Party, he now has drunk the poison of Party Syndicalism and voterless “victories” and the despised tactics of double agent delegates and other fascist means that betray and disrespect the majority Republican base, so even if the GOPe succeeds with such vile means it will only re-enforce in the minds of the majority Republican base that Cruz and the GOPe are the elitist enemies of Democracy and millions and millions of Republicans would never accept such a slap in the face and would never vote for Cruz in the general... many in hordes will also leave the Republican Party which will be seen as un-American and totally run top down by Washington’s elites and exposes the blatant huge gap between these Party Syndicate elites and the Republican base.
It is clear, the base has had enough of this, yesterday many watched John Sununu, the GOPe Bush operative, on FOX, arrogantly and with pride say to the entire world that most of Trump’s delegates “cannot stand Trump”, thus openly, arrogantly and with some perverted pride and with total contempt for the will, mandate and vote of the base, Sununu just said that most of these delegates do not represent the voice of the people but are simply dishonest agents to specifically abrogate the voice of the base.
What do you guess the base thinks when they hear that their votes, their time they took to go out and vote, that their voice, has little meaning because “delegates” actually do not represent them but only represent the arrogant GOPe such as Sununu and the other gaggle of goons that the base has turned out in record numbers to VOTE AGAINST?
Day after day now, we see far too many on FOX parade these gaggle of goons out in front of the camera, and these anchors then as much laugh along with these goons as if it is all so funny how the GOPe puts the base “into their place” - do you think the Republican base is laughing along with these gaggle of goons and the FOX kissing bugs who then giggle, laugh along with the GOPe goons and nod their heads as the goons insult the intelligence and bemean the base’s very participation as beneath contempt of the Brahmin class as themselves?
So today, FOX then parades out one of the worst goons of all, Rich Lowry the open borders, amnesty and GOPe waterboy, of course for the purpose of the on queue attack on Trump as 10 minutes had passed since the last attack on Trump which is 10 minutes too long for the gaggle of goons.
So the only thing I hate more than this little turd’s snide contempt for the Republican base is his nostrils. They flare as his nerdiness projects his stink bug presence with each attack on Trump! - with each so expected attack on Trump his nostrils flare and it is really annoying.
So this stink bug says to, that Cruz is the GOPe’s best chance at stopping Trump. So effectively he exposed what is obvious, that Ted Cruz is part of the GOPe gaming of the system. How could anyone support Cruz who is against the GOPe and their betrayals is beyond me, add Rich Lowry to the Cruz endorsements along with Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham, Romney.
What do you guess the majority base is thinking of all of this, as Ted Cruz enables this entire system that is designed to shutup the base with top down rule and rules that are meant to rule over the base rather than give them a voice, as Cruz runs around promising blue plate specials to double agent delegates working for the GOPe, and as if outrage against this, which such Lowry-lunks term “whining”, do anyone think the Republican base is cheering with Cruz and the GOPe as Sununu, Lowry, Cruz, the GOPe et all casts us as if we are no more worthy of respect than five year olds because we should only listen but not be heard?
The entire “plurality of votes is not the majority of votes” by the RNC establishment is as phony a narrative as “hands up, don’t shoot”, when delegates are the one’s who can “vote” exactly the opposite of what the people voted, who are opreatives of Sununu et all and their arrogant GOPe caste system, and give a “victory” to someone WHO COULDN’T EVEN WIN A PLURAITY OF VOTES MUCH LESS THE MAJORITY OF VOTE.
There is a person who won the majority of votes. And it was a landslide of a majority. Translating that landslide majority into a system where some proxy hack then steps in and “votes” exactly the opposite of the will of the voters and then head counts these double agents and against some arbitrary number of such delegate agents of the GOPe and not votes then is declared a purality even though it is a majority that no one wins and then they give the win to a loser who couldn’t even get a plurality under their own “rules”?
Such a Party is seen in eyes if the base as a Pariah Party, and Ted Cruz is a leper going around spreading the disease of GOPe psoriasis. Creepy Cruz is the GOPe Psoriasis of the Pariah Party. These Cruz GOPe creeps are interlopers not only trying to hijack the election but hijack the Eagle Forum and other venues as part of a North Korean like regime of control and suppression. The so-called “ground game” of Cruz and the GOPe is a “ground down” agenda of grinding up the base and the people in a meat grinder.
Today is New York, let’s statistically eliminate this psoriasis and Falangist of Party Syndicalism called Cruz.
Both NBC and Cruz FORGET that the NORTHEAST is pretty much a TRUMP LAKE.
A whole half a loaf? A halfwiTED.
That would probably be the last straw. The current CO/WY theft has boosted Trump to over 40 in one poll, over 53 in another. This should get him to an averate in RCP of over 50, and alienate the last of the truly undecided.
St. Ted is clearly a crook.
I am amazed that the Cruzers just ignore the reality that St. Ted didn’t win ONE SINGLE COUNTY in VA, FL, OH, or, today, NY.
I mean, what are they supposed to say? "We're going to get crushed"? Cruz's campaign won't even say that about New York.
Has Ted won a majority in 8 states yet?
My, that’s quite a long statement...stopped reading halfway through the first sentence when I discovered how long it is.
So I have no idea what you wrote, but you are obviously passionate about it.
Maybe you should write a vanity or start a blog.
It’s a Trump voter suppression piece.
“Always trust NBC”

I think this article isn’t accurate. From what I’ve heard in PA, most of the potential delegates say they will vote for whoever wins their district and that looks likely to be Trump if he wins big statewide. They’ll have a very difficult time seeing their district won by Trump and then just flip and support Cruz.
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
