It’s probably worse than that. Only 15% of Republicans in NY chose Cruz. That is only 5% of NY voters overall. And Cruz would never get any Reagan Democrats crossing over, where Trump would.
It was a closed primary.
Trump could win New York in November with the help of crossover Independents and blue-collar Democrats.
Hillary’s big win was masked by her inability to carry any place in New York outside of the big urban centers.
Sanders won all the upstate counties and collar counties around NYC.
If I were Hillary, that’s cause for concern.

I am a CRUZ fan that will vote for Trump if he gets the nomination of the Republican Party. My wife on the other hand is a Conservative Voter that is not ready to vote for either CRUZ or Trump...she may write in Mickey Mouse for President of the United States! She has great concern for our nation but has not yet found a candidate worthy of her vote.
“... would never get any Reagan Democrats crossing over, where Trump would”
Hillary got twice as many votes as Trump in his own state about a million to Trump’s five hundred thousand. Doesn’t look like there are enough crossover votes to make a difference. Trump will still lose NY to Clinton in November.
NY is forever safely Democrat; people there think they are “democratic”.
