IN fairness, Trumps victory, while impressive does not indicate he is competitive in NY this fall. There were about twice the number of democratic votes cast as compared to republican.
I had hoped Trump might make New York state competitive, but it is not to be.
Texas will, in a similar manner will go (based on the number of primary votes of the two side), republican. The only question is by how much.
In any case this result favors Trump in the coming week.
As I still think a Trump-Cruz ticket gives the republicans the best chance of victory, I sincerely hope Ted Cruz starts to wind down his attacks that might cause dissention in the convention. We need unity in order to win this fall.
You are forgetting there are going to be one hell of a lot of pissed off Sanders voters voting for Trump in the general.
I understand what you are saying and have no contention. You are being realistic.
I just ask you to consider the possibility that enough Sanders voters will be angry at Clinton and maybe, just maybe, crossover to vote Trump to make a statement.
Just a thought. I think Trump does make NY competitive. Does it mean he will win? Not sure. BUT, it may mean Clinton has to spend money in her own back yard,,and I like that!
You're wrong about that. Trump gets huge numbers of Independents and crossover Dems - especially blue collar Dems - who could not vote in the closed GOP primary. (They would have had to change party registration a year ago - before Trump entered the race.)
Trump will blow out New York in the general.
