With 100 percent of election districts reporting, New York state's unofficial election-night results website has Donald Trump losing only one of New York's 27 congressional districts: The 12th, which covers parts of Brooklyn and Queens as well as the eastern side of Manhattan—including the Fifth Avenue block that's home to Trump Tower, which is where Trump lives and where the Trump Organization is based.

The problem was that they were ALREADY registered as Independents

The American Independent Party is California's largest third party.

Who knew Rio Linda encompassed such a large part of the Golden State?

I hope Trump takes that approach in the generals.

I don’t CARE about taking the high ground.

None of it the ground will be a republic anymore if we lose in nov.

Clinton beat Trump 2:1 in NY state by votes cast in each party's primary. No sense worrying about the district he lost in when he will lose the whole state come November.

Well with Cruz votes as they were, do you think he could win NY in November?

Trump sweeps New York State, loses one district.

The Cruzer-Luzers could only wish in their wildest booger-eating fantasies that their boy had swept the entire State of Texas, losing only one district or county.

But “Trump lost his county” will be the screaming mantra as his cult followers keep pulling the ripcord as their campaign plummets down ever faster, with no parachute at all.

Look out below!!!

Neither Trump or Cruz will win NY in November. Cruz wont win because he is a Conservative and Trump wont win because he is not liberal enough.

It’s never about who votes but it’s about who counts the votes. Urban Democrat areas are notorious for manufacturing votes and cancelling out the votes in the suburbs and rural areas.

Voter fraud is rampant and it will never be seriously challenged because people who bring it up are immediately tagged as crackpots or sore losers.

In this case Trumps victory was so massive that even voter fraud couldn’t overturn it. But Bernie probably got screwed by the urban fraud machine.

Cruz is not conservative based on current actions, Coker, TPA, NAU etc. Trump may win when Independents and crossovers can vote.

How about this for a headline and some text:

“Trump Denied Home District Victory”

“In what can be a precursor of things to come for Republican billionaire Donald Trump, John Kasich has defeated him in his own 12th Congressional District, thereby leaving Mr. Trump with only delegate from that district. In what was otherwise an expected state-wide win last night, an ominous shadow now looms. If Mr. Trump cannot win in his own district, how can he claim to be a viable candidate nation-wide...”

I so remember Bill Green! He used to stand outside my subway station on Lexington Avenue during election season.

Congrats to The Donald! Don’t let the sore Cruzermans here get you down.

The only way Trump wins NY is to pick Sanders as his VP

That is dumb. They had to register a like six months before Trump decided to run.

LOL...Let me try again, as I also have a modification.

“Trump Denied Home District Victory in New York State Primary”

“In what can be a precursor of things to come for Republican billionaire Donald Trump, John Kasich has defeated him in his own 12th Congressional District, thereby leaving Mr. Trump with only delegate from that district. In what was otherwise an expected state-wide win last night, an ominous shadow now looms. If Mr. Trump cannot win in his own district, how can he claim to be a viable candidate nation-wide.”

“Senator Ted Cruz, who hails from a conservative background, called on Mr. Trump to drop out of the race, saying: ‘How is it that Donald, a man who cannot even get the support of a his own neighbors, be expected to get any support from any of the other 330 million Americans who do not even know him? I call on Donald to drop out of the race now as we need someone that has proven he can votes from people who don’t even know him!’...”

What a meaningless statement.
The Dem voters in NY did not have Trump as a choice, they only had Hillary and Bernie.

So he barely lost the district where other rich people live. I can live with that.
