Ted Cruz's campaign concedes that next Tuesday's primaries in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Maryland will be difficult for Cruz, and on late Sunday afternoon campaign chairman Chad Sweet admitted that the biggest prize of the day, Pennsylvania, "will likely go mostly for Trump."

The best hope for Cruz, Sweet told members of Cruz's national security team in an on-the-record conference call, is to win a "fair share" of the delegates at stake in the Keystone State.

"We knew all along ... that this particular stretch of states in the Northeast was going to be probably the low point of the campaign in terms of our ability to win delegates," Sweet said, noting Cruz's loss last week in New York. "We recognize it's going to be a tough stretch for us on Tuesday. We always anticipated that we would have to ride through that period, and fortunately for us, a number of the key states, including Pennsylvania, which will be one of the big states on Tuesday that will likely go mostly for Trump, we'll still win a fair share, Kasich will still win a fair share. If you combine both Kasich and us together, you'll see that the anti-Trump vote exceeds the Trump vote."

I can’t believe that Ted’s wife support for the North America Union hasn’t been talked about more among conservatives. Pro Ted people talk about Ted’s love of the constitution but ignore his wife’s huge support for it.

BUT CRUZ WON WISCONSIN!

WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fortheDeclaration]

That is exactly the precedent that is being set with this election!

Let all the candidates just stay in and stop the frontrunner from getting the nomination and then win at the convention.

I have never seen a primary run this way!

It is Party suicide.

to win a "fair share" of the delegates at stake in the Keystone State.

"fair share"? You mean like in Colorado? Since when is that the goal?

I'm in District 18 and I've gotten at least 10 robocalls from sue and jim means, running for delegates begging for votes under the guise that they are pro-life.

Both are 100% crusers and the initial several calls said that, but since it has become apparent that cruz is going to get creamed in the 18th, they have dropped the reference to cruz and are now just pro-lifers, lyin' sue and jim and ted...they are all the same.
