Yes. He was a long timer, very intelligent, except as I recall on moral, religious, and political matters.

C. Edmund Wright continues to make a damn fool of himself.

Yep, pitiful.

Exactly. There are plenty of Dems that will vote for Trump, including Sanders supporters if Hillary is the nominee

I believe C. Edmund was zotted awhile ago. I see his articles though are still drivel.

Independents can’t provide the math. A lot of blue-collar Democrats will need to vote for Trump for him to have a chance to win New York in the general. There will be a lot of them if he can manage not to alienate them.

I didn’t even realize but it’s good to know that he was because he was so annoying.

The GOP turnout was the highest in 40 years. And we don’t know how the Bernie voters, the independents, and third party members will vote. That said, it will be very difficult for a Rep to put NY in play.

So the bernie sanders occutards really wanted to vote for Trump-per-center???

Bernie’s supporters claim his own numbers would’ve been even higher if the registered independents could’ve voted in the DNC or GOP primaries.

The author is not too bright....but rather badly uniformed regarding the voter demographics in New York State. This Primary election was a “closed” Primary and, it “only” allowed registered Republicans and Democrats to vote, Cut out were two & one half million registered independents, 800,000 registered Conservatives and, Democrats were refused ballots to vote for Donald J. Trump. Had the Primary been “open”, Bernie Sanders would have beaten Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump would have scored a 75%-80% victory over both Ted Cruz & John Kasich!!!

The Reagan Democrats, Conservatives, & Independents would have put Trump between 1.5-2.0 Million votes. End of story. Mr. Wright is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer as most of the media is.

I don’t think Trump will win NY in the general. Hillary will. But Trump will put MI and PA into play, and he has a good shot at winning OH and CO, and an even better shot at FL and NV.

Cruz will lose all of those, and thus the election. So what was the point of this article again? Oh, yeah, to bash Trump. Weak effort.

What does that say about Cruz, your favorite to beat Hillary/Sanders?

Ignorance is bliss.

Mitt Romney and Donald Trump couldn't be more different. It seems bizarre that you're trying to draw any conclusions by using Romney's numbers to predict Trump's.

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

Or perhaps they are campaigning for third party candidates (signing ballot lists).

Not if Sanders runs as an independent when Biden is sent in as Hillary’s replacement.

I think a lot of New York blue-collar and upstate Democrats voted for Sanders in order to register their dislike of Hillary. They weren’t voting for Bernie’s dogma, they were voting for him because he’s not her. This anti-Hillary crowd will be available to Trump.

It tells me that NY/NJ/CT is a lost cause regardless of who the Republicans put in.

Zotted?! No kidding? Very happy to hear actually. He was an insufferable arrogant jerk! How did he get the zot? He had been insufferable for quite some time.
