Yup...makes no sense.

Trump is winning states that haven’t been won by a Republican for decades and the party establishment is holding up its nose.

Usually they’d be thrilled with wins like New York but you can’t fix stupid.

This is why Republicans keep losing elections... put up someone who can win a red state by 15 points, but has little to no appeal outside it.... just stupid.

To win a national election you can’t do that.. it doesn’t work. If your guy can’t appeal across the nation, you won’t win, doesn’t mean your guy is going to win every blue state, but if you start the election with the assumption, that every state that went the other way by 5 or more points is out of play... then you have the wrong candidate! If you can’t put up someone who can attack a 5 point lead and at least win a few of those, you have the wrong candidate.

Its really no more complicated than that.

But he's winning these states in Republican primaries. Can he still win in states like New York when all of the voters vote in November?

we should be thrilled that he won a PRIMARY in NY? that in no way indicates what will happen in a general election.
