King Don! the New York Post blares (April 20).
Hill Cruises Against Bernie.
After This, It Sure Looks All DonHill From Here
So it’s Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump in the general election. Or
that’s what the betting money is telling you.
Cable news is awash with NOTHING but this story. (Except that the image
of Harriet Tubman has been chosen to replace former president Andrew Jackson on
the $20 bill, the most common note in middle-class circulation. Huzzah!)
As to Primary School (don’t even start with how the Caucus works). In New
York (these are state rights, not to be assumed for the 49 other
jurisdictions), a closed primary system, only registered Democrats can vote in
the Democratic Primary. As to Republicans, that’s governed by their own state
rules, and yes, for Republicans, you also have to be a registered Republican to
vote in the Republican Primary.
Then delegates get selected … Here’s a look-see on the GOP New York
process from a website that is actually as cogent as possible given the depth
of convolution (from Bustle.com):
“The Republican
Party does things differently in New York, as it does in many other states.
It's not a strict winner-take-all state, because the candidate who gets the
most, or even a majority, of votes in the state doesn't get all its 95
Republican delegates. In certain circumstances, though, a candidate may win all
of a certain type of delegate in New York.
