Ted Cruz makes a comment about New York "values" ... look like New Yorkers don't take to kindly to his values from the latest poll. What a dufus ...

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - New York Republican Presidential Primary

Looks like a landslide win for Trump coming up on 4/19 with more NE heartbreak for Mr. Haney ....

Trump is also up by 8-10 points in California as well although Cruz may get some votes in Thousand Oaks where Green Acres was filmed.

Then he's too conservative to win the general - Cruz will never win a swing state.

That was a really stupid statement from Cruz. "New York values" are the values of the firefighters, EMTs, and law enforcement officers who rushed into the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001. I know alot of people don't realize this but New York is a very big state, there is more to New York than NYC ... and believe it or not much of the state outside of NYC is generally solid Republican. In 2014 the Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino won virtually the entire state outside of NYC.

Also, alot of New Yorkers are pissed that Ted Cruz led GOP senators in opposing relief funding for Hurricane Sandy, yet they have seemingly endless federal funding whenever some Southern state gets wiped out by tornadoes or by flooding.

You saying for the first time, Trump may actually break the magic 50% mark, in New York.

About damn time.

Spare me ... Cruz had a majority in Utah, an ultra-religious Mormon majority state. Trump almost hit 50% in Massachusetts.

Until you get to the convention, how Cruz or Kasich does is completely irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. Instead, Mr. Trump has to focus on keeping pace to get 1,237 delegates. It's his game to lose . . . . he needs to continue to make the free throws (and probably a couple of three-pointers at the end).

The race is over. Cruz has 0 path to nomination. Trump is further ahead than Clinton is. Don't listen to the media. They want people to believe it's a race.

At worst Trump will get 1180 delegates. That is if everything went wrong. So Trump would need 57 more delegates out of over 300 unbound. He will get the 57 to commit before the convention.

The networks have to pretend it's close for ratings. And Cruz has to say he is winning. Cruz also says he beats Trump "time and time again". It's all b.s.
