Actually, to win the general one must get crossovers

Trump has gotten more Hispanic / Black crossovers than anyone in recent history.

The goal is to win the presidency.

You don’t do that by losing people.

I don’t see your point here... Maybe we are in agreement that Trump is in a better position than any Bush, Romney or McCain has been in?

What is your point?

My only point is that in the New York Primary, there were 870,000 Republican votes cast, and 1.8 million Democratic votes cast.

There were more Hispanics voting in the Democratic primary than in the Republican primary.

I'm sure Trump won the Black vote in New York as well, among Republican voters, but that is not going to translate into a victory among that demographic in the fall.

This story makes it sound as if in spite of Trump's strong anti-illegal immigration message, he won Hispanics. My point is he only won Republican Hispanics, a minority of the Hispanics in New York. Presumably, if you are a Republican Hispanic, you're not inclined to support illegal immigration anyway, so the "wall" message didn't offend you. If this is the case, then wining that demographic isn't revealing much for November.

Historically, Blacks vote 90% Democratic, but you're going to boast if you win a majority of the remaining 10%?
