When Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz came to the Bronx to campaign in the run-up to the New York primary, ridicule was not far away. After all, what is a Republican candidate doing in the staunchly Democratic, minority-majority northern part of New York City? What is he doing in New York State at all, when Donald Trump is nearly certain to carry the most votes and, according to market-based forecasts, has an 85 percent chance to win more than 50 percent of the vote?
Why would Ted Cruz campaign in the Bronx?
For someone like Cruz to campaign exactly where Republicans are least popular is actually a very reasonable strategy. That’s because 81 of 95 delegates are allocated equally between the 27 congressional districts. While congressional districts are drawn by population size, the number of registered Republicans per district varies widely in New York.
As a consequence, some congressional districts will have their three delegates decided by just a few hundred voters....

Trump beats Cruz 10:1 amongst Puerto Ricans and blacks. They respect his strong style, not his “charter schools charter schools charter schools charter schools “pandering.
Cruz is crashing in the polls now. What happens to his momentum after he loses the next 6 contests, often placing 3rd?
He is done.

If Cruz destroys the Party at the Convention then loses to Hillary, he is finished politically - BUT if he quits, he has a bright future.

Yes, Cruz is a narcissistic jerk - and exactly why he will likely quit before Cleveland. Narcissists don't often commit suicide.

I'm going on record as predicting CRUZ QUITS BEFORE CLEVELAND in a magnanimous gesture to save the Party gaining future leverage & goodwill.

Does narcissistic Cruz at age 45 seem like the kind of man to destroy his career just to stop a man with whom he largely agrees on policy?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016
People say Cruz will stay in to the end out of ambition - but political suicide is not ambitious. Being the guy who "savedthe Party" is.

Cruz going to Cleveland would be the equivalent of a Kamikaze pilot diving into an enemy ship. Bad for the boat, worse for the pilot.

Tell Bill to take a break and have a bologna sandwich.
Mike Tyson says Donald Trump a real person not a slimeball lawyer when he shakes his hand.

When I see him, he shakes my hand and respects my family. None of them—Barack, whoever—nobody else does that. They’re gonna be who they are and disregard me, my family. So I’m voting for him. If I can get 20,000 people or more to vote for him, I’m gonna do it.”
Mike Tyson the convicted rapist?
He put a ski mask on his head and abducted some poor women.
Cruz was smart to campaign in a Bronx district with almost no Republican voters.
Cruz gets the most delegates in places where there are no voters.
Interesting article... in a district that averages just 200 votes, swaying just a handful could make a big difference.
Thanks for posting 2nd.
Cruz is clearly the most brilliant man in the universe!
It was entrapment!

The fewer voters the better for your turd employer/candidate. I’m thinking you guys find a third world hellhole somewhere to run.
Cruz gave the impression to Staten Island, upstate & Long Island that he wants to pander to minority voters. Trump is respected by does not pander.
Cruz is really smart — how many delegates did he pick up today?
Tyron’s sister is or was married to,former RNC chair Michael Steele
Quite a few.
Yes, Mike Tyson the convicted rapist and black man...
And most of the parallel universes!
Crazy like a fox!
