Trump had 800,000 votes in NY, that was 800,000 people turned out to vote for him.

Hillary had 1,000,000+ votes and Bernie had 700,000+ votes in their NY primary.

The democrats had 1,000,000 more voters turn out than the Republicans.

That isn’t the only state to show such a voter turnout disparity in parties.

Who cares if the Donald won the NY primary. HE loses the popular vote come election time.

Bingo!

New York was a “very” closed primary. Almost 4 million were not able to vote. No Democrats were allowed to crossover and registration had to have been changed by 9/15.

A...I think you forgot about all of the Independents who will be able to vote in the general.There’s 3 million of them.

[napscoordinator]

The independents are key! They did not vote.

That sure is a lot of votes to try to overcome and I'd highly doubt Trump could do it. But keep in mind that this was a very "closed" primary. You had to register Republican over 3 months ago to be allowed to vote. I believe ZERO independent voters were allowed to vote in either primary. I believe that is why Sanders is claiming 3 million disenfranchised voters.

I would not dispute if we compared full party registrations in New York, the Dems have a huge advantage. But nobody got to see or count how independents would break in the state, nor cross-over from either party to the other.

I have absolutely no problem with closed primaries, by the way. However if you're going to use raw vote totals by party to determine who will win a state, a better measure would be to do that in states with open primaries.

Look, genius. I KNOW you have read this information before, but like all Cruzholes, you can't absorb it.

New York is a closed primary. Trump gets tons of Independent and Democrat crossover voters – especially blue collar Democrats, of which New York has MILLIONS. (Think cops, firefighters, EMTs, construction workers, the trades. They are almost universally Trumpsters.) But those voters were dismayed to discover they couldn't vote for Trump in the New York primary – they had to have changed party registration by October 9, 2015. This is the most onerous state rule for party registration change in the U.S.

During the general election, no such rules apply, and virtually the entire New York working class will be voting Trump – PLUS the vast majority of long-registered Republicans, of which Trump garnered 60+ percent in the primary, over Cruz's pathetic third-place, zero-delegate showing.

Cruzholes have constantly sneered that Trump is a closet Democrat and can't get Republican votes. Well he has blown out the Republican vote (ACTUAL VOTERS) in most states, including New York. Including the Bible Belt.

Trump is getting voters across EVERY demographic, unlike the reptilian charlatan Cruz.

Trump will blow Hillary out in New York. Your boy Kray-Kray Cruz is done, kaput, finis.

Hey Mister Know-it-all

Only registered republicans could vote, no independents or others could vote for him in the primary. Get a clue....
