Trump had 800,000 votes in NY, that was 800,000 people turned out to vote for him. Hillary had 1,000,000+ votes and Bernie had 700,000+ votes in their NY primary. The democrats had 1,000,000 more voters turn out than the Republicans. That isn’t the only state to show such a voter turnout disparity in parties. Who cares if the Donald won the NY primary. HE loses the popular vote come election time.

Look, genius. I KNOW you have read this information before, but like all Cruzholes, you can't absorb it.

New York is a closed primary. Trump gets tons of Independent and Democrat crossover voters – especially blue collar Democrats, of which New York has MILLIONS. (Think cops, firefighters, EMTs, construction workers, the trades. They are almost universally Trumpsters.) But those voters were dismayed to discover they couldn't vote for Trump in the New York primary – they had to have changed party registration by October 9, 2015. This is the most onerous state rule for party registration change in the U.S.

During the general election, no such rules apply, and virtually the entire New York working class will be voting Trump – PLUS the vast majority of long-registered Republicans, of which Trump garnered 60+ percent in the primary, over Cruz's pathetic third-place, zero-delegate showing.

Cruzholes have constantly sneered that Trump is a closet Democrat and can't get Republican votes. Well he has blown out the Republican vote (ACTUAL VOTERS) in most states, including New York. Including the Bible Belt.

Trump is getting voters across EVERY demographic, unlike the reptilian charlatan Cruz.

Trump will blow Hillary out in New York. Your boy Kray-Kray Cruz is done, kaput, finis.

Exactly right. I think Trump would have gotten 70% of the overall vote if Independents and Democrats were allowed to vote for him in Tuesday's primary.

I was almost a victim of this myself. I moved down to Connecticut a year ago and did not select a party affiliation when I registered to vote. I figured that I'd be able to pull a Republican ballot at primary time, like I was able to do in Massachusetts.

Somebody here on Free Republic tipped me off to that and I just made the CT deadline (yesterday) to change my voter registration to Republican so that I can vote in Tuesday's CT primary.

So rack up another CT vote for Trump this coming Tuesday.
