Donald Trump’s embarrassing third-place finish in NY
American Thinker ^ | 04/21/2016 | C. Edmund Wright

Posted on 04/21/2016 8:57:16 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Donald Trump might have rolled to 60 percent of the Republican vote in New York Tuesday night, but he came in a distant third in the big scheme of things nonetheless. Keep in mind, this is the candidate and the campaign that constantly pout about one-man one-vote and popular vote totals.

They threaten to both call the lawyers about this concept and to riot in Cleveland over this. Thus, by Trump's own standards, Trump got thrashed in New York. Both Hillary and Bernie Sanders destroyed Trump in raw vote totals.

I'm not saying Trump didn't win the N.Y. Republican primary big. He did. I'm not even arguing that Trump is cheating to get 90% of the delegates with only 60% of the vote – although I could do just that, again using Trump's standards and Trump's own words and Team Trump's talking points. It would be easy. All I'm pointing out is that even in a yuuuuuuuge win, the numbers put the lie to the Donald Trump campaign. This was his best night so far, and yet the seeds of disaster are obvious for any who would but pay attention.

That popular vote total should bring the pom-pom clan back to Earth.

Remember that Trump is supposedly the man who will by his mere presence put blue states, even New York, into play. The message board trolls drone endlessly about this. As do some websites and talk show hosts – not to mention the Trump surrogates. Again, by their own self-imposed standard, Trump really got humiliated Tuesday night.

Consider: Hillary Clinton tallied over a million votes. Over three quarters of a million New York voters "felt the Bern." Trump was just over half a million. You say, "Okay okay, but it's New York."

The Dems (and some FRs) are all a twitter about how many more dems voted than reps. Bernie pointed out 3 million indies were unable to participate. Trump would have gotten a good percentage, and will get nearly all in the general against Hillary.

We don’t know how independent and conservative party members would have voted because they were not allowed to vote.

Don't confuse the author with facts. It screws up his narrative.

Looking at the 2012 NYS presidential exit poll, about 23% of the voters are independent and they voted more for the Democrat Obama than they did for the Republican, Mitt.

Why are Cruz’ records sealed? (honest question)

That's the only question that's ever needed an answer. Well, a honest answer.

No one would ever expect Cruz to win New York.

I live in Washington State where Sanders will win the primary and where the democratic nominee for President will win the state. No Republican has won this state since Ronald Reagan and it will remain the same in 2016.

We will have to assume then that New York independents will overwhelmingly go for Trump in the general. Any indication that this will be so?

Upstate, sure. In the city and Long Island, to be determined. General Election polling would be useful here. I donn't know if Trump would win NY, but he would, in my opinion, put it in play.

I’m just surprised his page is still up. I thought it disappeared when you were zotted.

More fecal matter from FR’s resident #NeverTrumper, C.E.W. Trump doesn’t need to win NY to win the election. Cruz would lose every state Romney did and 4-6 more.

I was amazed at how few votes Trump actually got.

On election night one would have thought the entire known universe AND Mars voted for Trump.

Turns out he got fewer votes in NY than Cruz got in Wisconsin.

Go figure.

And if anyone thinks NYers will not go back to their roots in the general....

It’s not an honest question. It’s a lie.

It was a closed primary.

Yes, it was. And the registration change deadline was clear back in October (reportedly, even some of Trump's relatives missed it).

According to the Board of Elections, on 1 April, there were 5,792,497 registered Democrats to 2,731,688 registered Republicans statewide (3,071,159 Democrats to 460,053 Republicans within NYC).

It WAS an honest question. I didn’t lie.
I found it upon researching Cruz. (Google ‘Cruz’ sealed records’ yourself. There are many, many articles declaring his records are sealed)

That’s what I’m asking, WHAT is sealed?
What if the rats get hold of this- and they will, what will happen then?
