I sure hope that Cruz will continue to waste his time and resources in NY.

Eh, Cruz isn't going to win NY. All he has to do is help keep Trump under 50% so that he won't get all the delegates.

It's actually worth spending a lot of money there because if Trump is kept under 50%, that will practically guarantee a contested convention - one in which Trump won't win.

So if your a Trumpster, you really should at least understand the stakes and why Cruz, Kasich and lots of SuperPAC money will pour into NY. It is not a waste of resources at all, actually it's quite critical.

The Pundits and TV “Journalists” are praying for a big convention fight in Cleveland. They may be disappointed as Trump manages the majority he needs on the first ballot.

Cruz will be mathematically eliminated after NY.

I read often that if D. Trump does not get the nod on first ballot, he cannot win. I assume that the reason is because it is automatically assumed that R. Cruz will take the nod on second ballot.

The question is, why do some assume that all of D. Trump's delegates will desert him after first unsuccessful ballot, but 75-150 won't desert R.Cruz on second ballot to give it to Trump?

Especially if D. Trump gets 30-50% more delegates (support) going in?

Cruz is showing up in NY to show he doesn’t wear a string tie and wave a Bible around.

We do know the stakes, dumb dumb. That's why 80 percent of FReepers aren't supporting Cruz anymore. They know that all this manipulation is on behalf of the GOPe. So Cruz is willing to lie about his position on trade, immigration, about Trump, whatever, to do his master's bidding, because he's owned by Goldman Sachs-- an entity so corrupt they actively encourage salesmen (according to former salesmen) to sell junk stocks in order to get the highest possible profit, and that the culture of Goldman Sachs is so corrupt, that only the most vicious vultures can get into any kind of higher position. IOW, Heidi Cruz.

What if Trump wins every single congressional district against Cruz/ Kasich by 10 to 20 points how do the delegates get allocated?
