New York Likely Republican Voters

5. Republican Convention
As you may know, the Republican party requires a nominee to get 1,237 delegates in the primaries for the nomination. If Donald Trump does not get 1,237 but
Trump still has more delegates than Ted Cruz, and more delegates than John Kasich, what do you feel Republicans should do at the convention this summer?
Asked of Republican primary voters

Ideology
Select Trump, because hell still have
more delegates than any other
candidate
Let Trump, Cruz and Kasich fight for
delegate support at the convention to
decide the winner
Turn to someone new who isnt
running right now
