Ted Cruz & the Republican Establishment had a super bad night in New York, last evening. As I correctly predicted, the Cruz anti-New York remarks did him in , and, DJT slaughtered Ted Cruz politically....across the board. The same repeat act will take place next Tuesday in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware % Pensylvania. As for John Kasich...dream on, Johnny Boy, you is going nowhere, fast. Go Donald J. Trump!!!
You should stop following politics until you learn the full voting democgraphics. New York State has five million registered Democrats, three & one half million registered, Repubicans, three & one half million registered independents and five hundred thousand registered Conservatives. Many Democrats will now re-register as Republicans or Independents and vote for DJT in the general election.
I am predicting that Trump will carry New York, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Michigan Pennsyvania, & maybe even California in the general election running against Hillary Clinton. And......Trump will win the POTUS election in a massive landslide!!! End of story!!! Hate to tell ya this....but Ted Cruz & John Kasich are political toast!!! Get real or, dream on. Go Donald J. Trump!!!
And how many registered R’s are in NY? How many Independants, etc?
The NY rules meant that Dems had to vote in their own primary, instead of jumping over to vote against Trump.
1. Independents aren’t allowed to vote in NY.
2. Crossover voting is not permitted.
3. New voters energized within the last month have missed the registration deadlines.
4. It was a primary and not a general election.
Assuming that Clinton’s primary numbers reflect the results of the general ignores the population of New York which is 20 million. Yesterday’s primary brought out about 1.6 million between Clinton and Trump and another million, perhaps, for all the others. So 2.5 million of NY’s eligible population of about 15 million voted and in 2012 it was a total of 7 million votes between Obama and Romney.
The final vote count having double the democrats was rather sad. That indicates the fantasy that New York state could be competitive is and was wrong.
That said new York was a closed primary and reflects the view of a lot of the Northeast as far as which issues are important to voters, not the party apparatus of their dupes in the press and radio.
I do not think it was Ted Cruz’s comment about New York Values that did him in. Folks here in the Northeast have fairly thick skins.
The simple fact is in NY, PA,CT, NJ , and likely DE the big issues are:
Importation of low cost labor to drive down wages:
Exporting of all manufacturing and value added jobs.
Slow destruction of traditional American values by a politically correct/leftist ideology
Complete lack of any border enforcement and mass of illegals.
Complete level of corruption by the uni-party; for 3 decades on the above issues the two parties agree, common folks could not vote against any of the above.
Voters here, after a long primary season going back to the fall of 2015 have decided Trump is the best candidate, of the ones remaining, to affect change in those areas.
I think that will be a lot clearer on the 26th, when another 5 states here vote.
28% of my registered voters couldn’t even participate in the primary because they are independents or other
Want to bet they will be highly energized to vote in the general if a candidate inspires them? Won’t be cruz or kasuck
And then there are all those Bernie voters who are a giant wild card that won almost every NYS precinct except the big population centers
Great Ted strategy.
Start with “I got the Solid South! My bedrock of my campaign”
That all goes to hell Super Tuesday so it’s on to Utah, Beck, religion and flirting with the GOPe (Neil S&L Bush), GOP leadership, etc.
Then came Colorado and Wyoming. They stacked the rules (probably for Jeb), but Ted picks up the standard and charges (in the night) and gets him some delegates (his new word for ‘voters’)
Now, it’s “NY don’t mean sh!t) - I’ll steal some more delegates, ones that Trump got already and make it up”
Next comes the 5 more states next week where who knows what his excuse and strategy will be because his out of the 1st ballot race with his NY disaster now.
His excuses run out with California right before the primary and he ain’t polling 1st there now. I’m thinking he’s gonna have to pick up the bar and do a LOT more changing - like going full-bore amnesty to get that Hispanic vote in Kallie.....
Lol!
Enough to elect a Republican governor in 2002 and a Republican senator in 1998. You can't say the state won't be in play just because those positions are currently held by Dems.
CT 13 at large delegates. 5 CDs x 3 each = 15
ted must get either 20% statewide in CT which is doubtful or those votes are wasted. 20% is likely 3 delegates.
the usual 3 delegates per CD are winner take all. Trump 15
And there are 3 million registered independents in NY State.
I’d bet good money they tilt over 60% to Trump.. Will it be enough to overcome the DNC in NY State..? dunno, but it might be close.
Is this a news story or a vanity? If a vanity shouldnt it be marked as such?
And then ....... everyone finds out Clinton got over twice
as many votes of Trump in His home state....
*****************
And then go to Texas and find out that Edward couldn’t even
get but 43.8% in his primary. The key is to win.......
Trump was a strong second to Kasich. Cruz only got about 13%. FL, another swing state, left Cruz in the dust. Cruz can't get the crossover and independent vote. He'd be another 'pub designated loser.
They already tilted for Hellary once didn’t they?
The last time they went for a Republican was 1984.
I think it hilarious these reports tout this stunning defeat in NY by Trump. I certainly wasn't surprised. Well, maybe a little.
Surprised me how many people in NY voted for Kasich...a liberals liberal. Along with the million plus votes for Hillary, confirms in me that NY is a cesspool of progressive think and policy.
And NY’rs are proud of this? Democrats in Texas are far more conservative than republicans in NY. Trump...conservative? Very concerning.
Closed primary — Declared Republicans only.
I agree...NY is a wild card at this point. I think Trump can do something historic there.
Cruz is fighting hard, but the outcome is set. Cruz won’t be the nominee. It will either be Trump or a GOPe contested convention plant. It won’t be Cruz.
Cruz’ recent behavior is telling.
