Did you think that Ted Cruz believed he had a chance to win liberal NY and Trump's home base?

Upstate NY is a sea of red on the election map.

Trump didn't win the majority in his own district - 42%.
At 75% reporting - Bernie Sanders won 598,612 and Trump was at 370,451. And we know that Hillary won the state. So, apparently, NY loves Bernie and Hillary more than Trump.
NY is a non-factor in the General Election. It only proves that Trump can't win NY in the General.
Adding that now Trump needs 58% of the remaining delegates (1,237) to win, going forward.

THIS is... an unbelievable post.
Trump wins NY and mathematically eliminates Cruz from winning on the first ballot... and its a loss for Trump?
Cruz can't even get a majority in his home state, and is practically sent packing in NY, showing even the Republicans in NY won't vote for him, and therefore Trump can't win the general against Hillary?
Yep, unicorns and skittles. Some folks have literally gone into total fantasy land.
lol

PO - this is a reach, even for you.
Well, maybe not, since you put on your Cruz-colored glasses!
Lol.

Trump doesn't have the 1237 either, so the race isn't over.
Apples to oranges on Texas and NY. Cruz won a majority in a very crowded field. Trump was running against two other people.
The real news is that Trump didn't even get a majority in his own district - where Trump Tower stands. I guess 48% of the people don't really like him.
He won less than half the votes that Hillary won and 2/3 as many as Sanders.
The reality - Trump dominated in the context of a state with a small minority of GOP voters.
NY wasn't really that big of a deal, that's why it would be a non-factor if Trump were able to win the nomination. He won't be winning the state in the General.
The NY values comment made by Ted Cruz, taken out of context by the help of the media on both sides (or are they now on the same side?)- Sean Hannity, Rush, etc., won't be a problem for Cruz going forward.
I also, once again, agree with Ben Shapiro - "The entire case for Trump is that he represents people who stayed home for Romney. You don't get to complain if we stay home for Trump."

Re: Trump 2016
I think that Amanda Carpenter put it best on describing the two speeches between Trump and Hillary after their NY wins:
"Just stylistically speaking, judging Trump's speech versus Clinton's is like Bad News Bears versus New York Yankees."

Nope
stylistically speaking, judging Trump's speech versus Clinton's is like Bad News Bears versus kindergarten brats.
That shrill woman is a disgrace to America. I am describing both Amanda Carpenter and Hellary Clinton.
