“It’s been our opinion that when you have primaries with open processes we do very well, and we’re heading into another part of the season where that’s the case so we’re happy the NY primary is coming up, the Pennsylvania primary is coming up where we can stop talking about rules and start talking about the will of the people”, Brookover said.

The poll was conducted in English and Spanish, and surveyed more than 1,000 people, of whom roughly a third were Republican, a third Democrat and another third Independent.
The emails warn the delegates are being watched and imply they could be targeted. Trump has the best shot of winning enough delegates by the end of the primaries to clinch the nomination, but he must win an impressive 60 percent of those remaining.

Both Cruz and Trump have run provocative campaigns, slamming the Republican establishment and vowing to take a hard line on just about everything, including immigration.
But he did have complaints when Cruz operatives worked successfully to win technically uncommitted delegates in conventions, as they did in Louisiana and North Dakota.
Brookover added winning 1,265 delegates was possible but called it a “back-of-the-envelope” estimate. Clinton has amassed 469 super delegates to Sanders’ 31. “Those are NY values”.
Anti-Trump candidates could have joined forces and encouraged tactical voting. He says he’s got a commitment from two others to also vote for Trump; he’s not printing up brochures but trying to publicize their names.

“We are the only campaign that has filed a full slate of delegates”, he said.

In order to maximize the number of delegates he receives, Trump has to get at least 50 percent of the vote at the statewide level and in individual congressional districts. It was created specifically to block Ron Paul from securing the nomination.
