Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani told the New York Post Thursday he will vote for Trump, noting Cruz dissed the state for political points in the Iowa caucuses.

Network exit polls reported by CNN said 58 percent of GOP primary voters said they were concerned or scared about a Trump presidency.
Walker, speaking Wednesday morning to conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes on WTMJ-AM, called it a “great day for Wisconsin, great day for America”.
Experts had predicted Mr Sanders’ win in Wisconsin because of the open primary rules, large white population and young progressive electorate.
Trump has delayed trips to Colorado and California to campaign in his home state, where Cruz faces a thumping in the April 19 primary, according to a new poll.
His campaign issued a dismissive statement, saying, “Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet – he is a Trojan horse being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump”.
However, “we know that Cruz is likely to do well among delegates chosen through state and local conventions because we’ve seen that demonstrated quite a few times already”, Silver said.
New York, though, is the main prize ahead. While on the one hand, Mr Kasich has won only one state so far – his own – he appears to do much better than either of the other candidates in notional match-ups against either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, one of whom will be the Democratic nominee. For Trump, the pressure is on to respond with some decisive victories in upcoming states to show he is still on the way to assembling the 1,237 delegates needed for the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump, in fact, “has funded the problem” he has identified with his past support for nonconservative officeholders and candidates, he said.
According to RCP, Mrs Clinton has an 11 point lead over Mr Sanders.
Given how the party’s race awards delegates proportionately, Sanders needs to win big in the remaining 21 Democratic contests to show he can do more than raise doubts about Clinton’s candidacy, but rather beat her convincingly.

The Associated Press-GfK survey finds 69 percent of American voters have an unfavorable view of GOP front-runner Donald Trump. John Kasich, whose 143 delegates leave him with no numerical way to win his party’s nomination, secured 14.1 percent of the vote. But between that disappointment and last night’s results in Wisconsin, it’s increasingly unlikely that Trump will be able to amass a majority of delegates.
