“His problem was, New York values a chance to actually vote for the candidates.”

It’s more than a Cruz problem, Hillary got double the votes Trump did. Bernie got 200,000 more votes than Trump did. But let’s keep talking about those New York values.

New York is a closed primary and Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans in the state.

The General will not be closed.

Trump will beat the crap out of Hillary.

A lot of those Sanders voters won’t vote for Hillary, they may even vote for Trump.

Well, one of the NY Values is, that there is very little cross-over voting in the primaries due to the voter registration laws.

The general election results may bear no resemblance whatsoever to the primaries.

“...Hillary got double the votes...”

Only because there are more democrats in New York State. The Independents will go Trump.

Math is hard. You should go shopping.

There are 5,792,497 registered democrats and 2,731,688 registered republicans. That's slightly more than a 2:1 ratio.

Comparing raw numbers of votes on that basis just doesn't make sense.

Shush, you're raining on Trump's parade. Trumpeteers are gearing up to welcome the millions of disaffected Democrats, in the same manner they've reached out to us "Cruzers." lol
