Why should NY have any delegates? All their electorals will go dim for sure so what's the good of letting NY'ers have any say in the Pubbie candidate? They would elect Joe Stalin (Dem) over Abe Lincoln (Rep.) in any general election.
“Why should NY have any delegates? “
Because if the GOP is to be a national party, then the Republican base, nationwide, should help determine its leaders. If we let it get narrowed into states that are Republican only, we’d end up a regional party and we’d be doomed electorally.
And you dont know that New York wont go Republican. It went Republican in 1972 and 1984, and it will happen again sometime.
