Harmeet Dhillon, vice chairwoman of the state party, said the prospect of having all three remaining candidates make their pitch at the convention is driving enthusiasm among Republican voters to new heights.
Cruz has worked hard to clarity his now-famous phrase “New York values”, during his campaign trail across the state.

Cruz has since said he did not mean to insult average New Yorkers, but instead the Democratic politicians who control much of the state government and New York City. At a table near the main hall, where pro-Trump candidate Cat Morningstar has provided her own essay about why she should go to Cleveland, Trump’s campaign has provided the email of the “Wyoming team”, and nothing else.
