LOL.... Cruz blew this when he discredited New York Values... Compare this with Trump speaking to crowds of 15,000 last night.
There are more than 1.4 million people in the Bronx — but Ted Cruz couldn’t even muster 100 at a campaign event in Parkchester with state Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr., a conservative Christian minister.
Cruz visited the Sabrosura Chinese-Dominican restaurant, where Diaz said the presidential candidate could “listen to the social, economic and spiritual needs of our community” while dining with other clergymen on the eatery’s famed fried rice and plantains.
Exactly how big is the Chinese-Domincan demographic?
NY Chinese:
The
New York City Metropolitan Area contains the largest ethnic Chinese population outside
Asia, enumerating an estimated 735,019 individuals as of 2012,
[80] including at least 9 Chinatowns, comprising the original
Manhattan Chinatown, three in
Queens (the
Flushing Chinatown, the
Elmhurst Chinatown, and the newly emerged Chinatown in
Corona), three in
Brooklyn(the
Sunset Park Chinatown, the
Avenue U Chinatown, and the
Bensonhurst Chinatown), and one each in
Edison, New Jerseyand
Nassau County,
Long Island,
[81] not to mention fledgling ethnic Chinese enclaves emerging throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

NY Dominican:
Immigration records of Dominicans in the United States date from the late 19th century, and New York City has had a Dominican community since the 1930s. From the 1960s onward, after the fall of the Rafael Trujillo military regime, large waves of migration have thoroughly transnationalized the Dominican Republic, metaphorically blurring its frontier with the United States.
In 2006 New York City's Dominican population decreased for the first time since the 1980s, dropping by 1.3% from 609,885 in 2006 to 602,093 in 2007. They are the city's second-largest Hispanic group and, in 2009, it was estimated that they composed 24.9% of New York City's Latino population. According to Census data analysis by CUNY’s Center for Latin American, Caribbean & Latino Studies, shows Dominicans as the new largest group of Hispanics in NYC. There were about 747,473 Dominicans in the five boroughs in 2013, compared with 719,444 Puerto Ricans.[119]
Areas with high a concentration of Dominicans are in Washington Heights, Corona, and certain areas in the Bronx.
