The 40% of dem primary voters who voted for Sanders could be Trump voters in the general. Besides that, keep in mind the Dem voters were in-place for months, and couldn’t switch to vote for Trump. Some would probably go to Trump in the general, a choice they didn’t have in the primary. Because the Democratic Party in NY is so much larger than Republicans, it could easily be a significant number.
As shown by the total vote last night the Dims have a 2:1 advantage over the GOP in NY. Most of the Communists voting for Sanders will never vote for Trump but they might for Clinton or just stay home. NY will be called for Hillary at 9:00:01 pm just as it always has been for the Dims.
About the only way it would ever be competitive is with a Trump/Saunders ticket...
I don’t think but a few thousand of the Sanders voters of NY would consider switching to Trump. Now some won’t show up, but most will line up with Mrs. Bill as instructed.
“The 40% of dem primary voters who voted for Sanders could be Trump voters in the general.”
Why would those clamoring for an outright socialist (marxist really) be so very willing to cross over and support Trump?
This should be more indicative of a PROBLEM to Trump supporters than an ADVANTAGE for Trump.
