Trump tweeted on his official account that “Lyin’ Ted Cruz can’t get votes (I am millions ahead of him) so he has to get his delegates from the Republican bosses”.

Ted Cruz ‘s national campaign spokesman – downplayed the effect a Donald Trump victory in Tuesday’s New York GOP primary would have on the remainder of the election. “Donald Trump’s campaign does not know how to organize on the grass roots”, Cruz said, allowing him to win those delegates “over and over and over again”. Case in point: Cruz has not unveiled leadership teams in any of those states, even though they vote in only six days’ time. “Ka-not going to win”, a man said.
Asked about New York’s recent move to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, Kasich said he believes it will cost more jobs than it creates. All of this noise and complaining and whining has come from the Trump campaign, because they don’t like the fact that they’ve 5 elections in a row, that Republicans are uniting behind our campaign.
Cruz has never been popular with his colleagues in Congress – South Carolina Sen.
Pressed by CNN, Giuliani said: “I endorse Donald Trump but I’m not part of the campaign”. Cruz then talked about the results in Utah, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Wyoming, all of which Cruz has won. “If a delegate candidate won’t commit to your presidential candidate, don’t waste your vote”. Trump’s claims of a crooked system and shady delegate deals by their campaign has begun to get under the skin of campaign aides, and Cruz himself had a highly contentious interview on Tuesday with Sean Hannity, who pressed Cruz on the ethics of his delegate wrangling. Their next targets, Kalmbach said, will be at state conventions this weekend in Utah and ME, where the campaign plans to distribute delegate slates. Delegates friendly to Cruz swept that district’s convention and have dominated others in North Carolina so far. Due to the manner and timing of delegate selection in the state, the delegation is comprised mostly of party insiders, many of whom attended the 2012 Republican National Committee as delegates. Cruz further stated that “the media loves to obsess about process”. The Kasich delegate countdown’s magic number to clinch the nomination is now 1,090. “And you ask me why I’m in this thing”, he said. The Hoosier State was circled long ago on the Cruz campaign’s calendar.
Mike Close, a 63-year-old real-estate appraiser here, said he’s only moderately hopeful that Cruz could make it through Trump’s romp of the Northeast.
