It was a closed primary.

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.

Conclusion: Independent voters probably won't stop Trump from a big defeat in NYS.

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.

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.
