Footnotes EP5 – NY Primary Aftermath, April 20, 2016.

NY Primary Aftermath

• Trump breaks 50% of the vote for the first time, capturing 60% of NY voters
• Trump leaves 3 delegates on the table for Kasich
• Clinton only wins 11 of NY’s 62 counties, but wins the counties that matter most
• Clinton’s victory forecloses a Sanders avenue to victory, notwithstanding an act from God

Closed Primary System:

• Sanders joins Trump in complaining about a system that stops working in their favor
• 11 states have a closed primary system
• 6 closed primaries (including NY) have taken place thus far in this Presidential race
• Of the 6 closed primaries, Sanders won 4 of those contests
• Candidates raise issues when they think those issues will effect them negatively, but not when those same issues effect them positively.
