AUTHOR CONCLUDES:
In other words, on Trump’s best night ever in New York, he would have been totally trounced by either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. The notion that Trump can win blue states like New York is just laughable. Tuesday is irrevocable proof.
The socialist are in firm control of New York. Trump did well...in the republican primary, but he will not win New York in the general election.
It is NY values that will deny him the general win in NY.
How did Romney do? How did Cruz do?
“The notion that Trump can win blue states like New York is just laughable. Tuesday is irrevocable proof.”
NY does not allow crossover votes in primaries. Unaffiliated voters cannot vote in the primaries. The deadline for changing party registration is 193 days before the primary. As a result the NY primaries are representative of the results for registered voters in the parties and do not reflect unaffiliated voters or voters of another party who might cross over on election night during the general election.
All New York showed was both Hillary and Trump commanded an overwhelming majority of voters in their respective parties. It told us nothing about crossover voting or unaffiliated voter voting. Therefore, it did not prove or disprove Trump’s ability to win NY in the general election.
Why are Cruz’ records sealed? (honest question)
(Google Cruz records sealed)
Further there is a serious race between Hillary and Sanders, and it is heating up. The only democrat votes for certain that will go to the democrats are the votes for Hillary. A lot of Sanders votes will be up for grabs, some will go libertarian, the angriest Sanders supporters will likely go to Trump to keep Hillary from winning.
No idiot, there are no cross overs in NY, come election day Trump will get most of the independents and a ton of democrats who voted for Bernie
And Cruz can win. Seriously.
My wife is a Democrat and voted for Bernie ....
... just because here in NC our primaries are semi closed.
She preferred Rubio but will be voting for Trump in the general election.
There’s many more of folks like her out there.
It’s true. I noticed that first thing:
BERNIE got almost as many votes as Trump, Kasich, and Cruz COMBINED.
HILLARY got WAY MORE votes than all the Republicans COMBINED.
NY is a blue state and will go Hillary in the general.
This is a fact, and there is nothing to say about it, except those are “New York Values.”
(And yes, I cast my vote in Crown Heights.)

Mental illness will make you blind. Truth: Trump got the vote 20% of all registered Republicans in New York State and Clinton got 19.9% of the vote all registered Democrats in New York State. About 27% of New Yorkers are registered as NO PARTY the designation in New York for Independents. Independents reject Clinton almost as much as Republicans. Trump has not been able to campaign against Clinton as he will.Does this fool think Trump will be held back from attacking her by the media the way Mittens was held back from attacking Obama? Really?
There are 5.2 million Democrats in NYS and 2.1 million Republicans both sides turned out 34% of their registered voters. Saying Trump is not going to crush her in November because he didn’t get more Republicans who are less than half the number of Democrats is asinine.
Trump takes NYS and in doing so FORCES her to campaign here which no Democrat has had to do since 1988.

Do you get paid for each anti Trump post you post?
Or is your income tied to illegals working in the IT world you supposedly consult with?
What part of Jim’s post noting that Cruz was out of the race did you fail to understand?
Do you spit on other hosts, who invite you into their homes or businesses like you do to Jim several times each day?
Take Bernie out (thanks crooked Hillary)
Let democrats vote for whoever they want (obviously a lot don’t want Hillary) but none could vote for Trump in the closed primary
now let the 28% of new Yorkers who are independent or “other party” VOTE (which they could not do for the primary)
then lets see the numbers
NY= 6 million registered democrats, 3 million registered GOP
I was amazed at how few votes Trump actually got.
On election night one would have thought the entire known universe AND Mars voted for Trump.
Turns out he got fewer votes in NY than Cruz got in Wisconsin.
Go figure.
And if anyone thinks NYers will not go back to their roots in the general....
I'm glad that little pantywaist got banned from Free Republic for his mouth.
