New York State Primary Election Thread For Both Lurking And Posting.

Fox News not calls it for Trump.

[SkyPilot]

Yup.

I read this just now.

When Ted Cruz Wanted to Be Part of the Establishment...He climbed over colleagues in search of W’s favor, only to be rejected—setting him on his outsider’s course.

It is an amazing read. Even George W. Bush, who has a reputation for liking almost everybody, can't stand Ted Cruz.

In a never-before-reported meeting in Bush’s Dallas office, Cruz began to outline his 2012 campaign playbook for the former president, according to people familiar with the conversation. Cruz explained how he would consolidate conservatives yearning for a political outsider, how he would outflank the front-runner on the right, how he would proudly carry the mantle of the ascendant tea party to victory over entrenched elites. It was impressive foreshadowing. But Bush cut Cruz off before he could finish. “I guess you don’t want my support,” Bush interrupted. “Ted, what the hell do you think I am?”

Tight race between the crook and the commie.

Well, that didn’t take long. CNN calls for Trump. lol lol

[PhiloBedo]

Speaking of home states.....Trump got what, 40%+- in Texas, and Cruz gets 15% in NY, if he’s lucky!!

[No Dems 2016]

The CNN exit poll shows Trump winning by about 58% with about 25% for Kasich and 16% for Cruz.

[Red Steel]

It took 2 seconds for Wolfie on CNN to call NY for Trump. ;-)

[No Dems 2016]

I don’t know where Drudge got this but Trump is winning by just under 58% in the CNN exit polls just released. But 58% is still YUUUUUUUGE!

[NYRepublican72]

The CNN exit poll shows Trump winning by about 58% with about 25% for Kasich and 16% for Cruz.

I am sure there's another wave of exit polls coming, but you are looking close to 60%, which could mean a sweep.

[DoughtyOne]

Which as I understand it means he’ll get no delegates, unless he gets over 20% in some districts.

I think he has to be in at least 2nd place even then.

I doubt he gets 15 delegates today, and that makes it impossible for him to get 1237 before the convention.

[Shortstop7]

Yep :) Let the sweep begin.......

[NYRepublican72]

I don’t know where Drudge got this but Trump is winning by just under 58% in the CNN exit polls just released. But 58% is still YUUUUUUUGE!

It depends on which wave of exit polls Drudge used. More data is continually coming in. It wont be long, once they get some raw vote in, they will give him the 50% moniker.

Looks like Trump has won his home state.

[SamAdams76]

Looks like Cruz will get ZERO delegates tonight.

Ted got smoked, mate. 3rd place finish and a 4-1 shellacking relative to the winner.

Trump in home state: 60%
Cruz in home state (where he currently serves as Senator no less): 43%

Read ‘em and weep. Time for Cruz to go home.

[DoughtyOne]

I’d say 58% is a pretty good confirmation of Drudge’s numbers.

58 vs 60%? Not a big deal...

[thoughtomator]

Looks like all the action tonight is on the Dem side.

Hearing exit poll spreads of 4-8% which is close enough to make the outcome uncertain.

[NYRepublican72]

58 vs 60%? Not a big deal...

At 58%, some delegates will be won by Kasich and Cruz. At 60%, that's a lot less likely.

[No Dems 2016]

58 vs 60%? Not a big deal...

I agree and I hope that later exit polls show him win by even more. Results will be coming in and most importantly by congressional district! I'm hoping and praying for a 95 delegate sweep!
