“It was a closed primary”
...and a lot of New Yorkers are actually registered in the Conservative Party.
Trump would certainly put NY ‘in play’, in the sense that Hillary will have to campaign there and spend ad money there. She can’t just ignore it, like she would if she were opposed to any other GOP candidate.
And there are other states, states the MSM used to talk endlessly about, the swing states, where Trump has the potential to do well also.
It should be an interesting election.
Looking at the 2012 NYS presidential exit poll, about 23% of the voters are independent and they voted more for the Democrat Obama than they did for the Republican, Mitt.
Conclusion: Independent voters probably won't stop Trump from a big defeat in NYS.
Exactly. There are plenty of Dems that will vote for Trump, including Sanders supporters if Hillary is the nominee
So the bernie sanders occutards really wanted to vote for Trump-per-center???
Bernie’s supporters claim his own numbers would’ve been even higher if the registered independents could’ve voted in the DNC or GOP primaries.
Correct. It was a closed primary. There are way more registered Dems in NY than Repubs.
How many independents will vote for Trump in the general election? That’s the key question. He may get enough of them to defeat Hillary.
Exactly. Someone posted this same drivel Wednesday. A closed primary in a state with 5.7 million Dems and 2.7 million Reps.
