First line is Trump, second line is Kasich.
All in all, a great night for Trump even with that 70-vote loss in Manhattan County!

so this will be the spin on how he actually lost New York I suppose.
Trump needs to learn the “Seattle trick” to win districts like this. ;-)
What is the “Seattle trick”? That is where the Democrats register homeless people in Seattle to one address that is the county courthouse—dozens of homeless people, one address.
Then, miraculously, they all turn out on election day and vote for the Democratic candidate.
The “Seattle trick” was good enough to get a Democratic governor elected by a handful of votes a few years back.
I called her Governor Fraudoire.
I would not be at all surprised if the GOPe throws both Trump and Cruz under the bus at the Republican Convention and gives the nomination to Kasich and make Rubio his VP.
Reportedly, some members of the Donald's family forgot to register (the GOP NY primary was closed).
Mark 6:4 (Luke 4:24)
Maloney actually defeated the last Republican congressman from Manhattan, ‘Bill ‘ Green. Represented the Silk Stocking District.
There is no “Manhattan County.” It’s New York County, for starters, but the vote is by Congressional district, and the district that Kasich won is Manhattan’s Upper East Side and parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
The local party leaders must be very happy with that, as Kasich was the least vomitaceous choice of these poor benighted souls. I hope those who didn’t bother to vote or who voted wrongly at least know what they did: they followed lockstep in their masters’ path, just like all the people selling their convention votes all over the country. Let’s not hear a word about that from them, at least.
The d heads at slate don’t read the bible at their own lament
There is a good reason there is a major gospel reading that ranks s yearly Sunday reading at mass on he subject of Jesus as a successful adult being rejected in his own town
It might not be the same reason trump is being rejected but the lesson is it just doesn’t matter
And it doesn’t
Being rejected by ones own state is not good but that’s not what’s going on here though slate would hope so would nat review
If he were getting say 44% that’s what the media would love but that’s Cruz in his Texas.
It will be interesting to see if Kasich keeps his win after the audit. Some voting places allegedly had no Rep ballots only Dem and vice versa. Some allegedly only had A-M voter lists but no N-Z. Granted, those most affected are likely Dems, but there are at least some Reps that may have also been unable to pull the lever. But if Kasich won the district fair and square, no hard feelings and no whining here about that.
The only question I have of Kasich is, if he’s so confident that he’ll be picked at the convention regardless, why is he still running? Why not go home, kick off the shoes and wait it out?

Ah it’s the upper East side....no real suprise that kasich was a narrow winner
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!!!
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...”
So he barely lost the district where other rich people live. I can live with that.
The General election will go well.
Even if it's Trump/Cruz somehow...the welfarians out number us.
Stock up on toilet paper.
Jedi
heh...I can hear it now...”WELL IF WE HAD A REAL CONSERVATIVE..........”
I’ll throw you Trump-haters a line, just to cheer you up.
Bella Abzug, a communist from Manhattan, ran in a primary election for a House seat against Bill Ryan in 1972. She won every precinct in the district, except the West Side of Manhattan (where she lived), and lost the primary as a result.
When Ed Koch was asked how it could be that she lost the West Side, he shrugged and said, “her neighbors know her”.
Here's a link to a very useful interactive map. It shows the results block by block.
Mark 6:4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”
