“Here is a clue, Cruz doesn’t need to win NY. And if your Trumpking doesn’t get to 50% a contested contention is almost a certainty (one in which Trump will lose to Cruz on the 2nd or 3rd ballot).”
What I fail to understand is why Cruzers think the delegates will band together and nominate a second place candidate with less electability than the first place candidate. If Trump were far right-wing and Cruz was more moderate and could draw more votes - I can see it, but the situation is the reverse.
So what, exactly, would make the delegates go for Cruz? His charming personality? And don’t give me those BS “Cruz will beat Hillary and Trump can’t!” polls - they’re all put out there by the press who WANTS Cruz to be the nominee precisely because they know he will never, ever beat Clinton.
I understand and share your skepticism about some polls, but you're asking us to ignore a near unanimity of all polls, from dozens of organizations, that all show Cruz's solid advantage over Trump in a head-to-head match up against Hillary.
As counter evidence, Trumpers offer only the strong feels that they are feeling and feel everybody should be feeling because Trump. Sorry, but that's weak. Cruz is both far more conservative and far more electable than Trump.
