    I hear Trump is quite popular. Should I vote for him?

    Is that a reason to vote for someone? Vote for Cruz. He is a staunch supporter of Israel and traditional values.

    If you like Obama and deBlasio then you’ll love Trump!

    He’ll make America the next third-world country.

    If you want to vote for a winner then vote for Raul Castro (he’s guaranteed to be the Cuban dictator).

    Depends if you are a registered Democrat or republicans

    Democrats cannot vote for trump and republicans cannot vote for Hillary

    If you are registered as neither you cannot vote

    ZD: Republicans can vote for Sanders and Democrats can vote for Trump.

    There is a write-in vote option.

    I’m a registered republican. I don’t love anyone in politics. I dislike almost all politicians. I’m trying to pick the best among all the not-too-good options.

    There isnt a write in option for the PRIMARIES, in the general election you can vote for whomever you want.

    You actually dont vote for candidates, you vote for a delegate who is pledged to support that candidate, it was a bit confusing

    Primaries have a write-in option. In 1928, Herbert Hoover won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary on write-ins. In 1940, Franklin Roosevelt won the Democratic New Jersey presidential primary with write-ins. In 1960, Richard Nixon won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary with write-ins. Ralph Nader ran a write-in campaign in 1992 during the New Hampshire primary for the presidential nomination of both the Democratic and Republican parties.

    Vote for the most pro-Israel candidate which is Cruz. Rubio would have been probably better against Hillary, but Trump is a wacko and a wild card who cannot be given the nomination. He will lose spectacularly to Hillary or even worse to Sanders, making America into the Soviet Union.

    Trump is crazy. Vote for anyone else. Kasich makes more sense because he is doing better in NY polls and has a better chance to pick up delegates, but that really varies from district to district. The point is, anyone but Trump.

    Ted Cruz’s biggest margin of victory in the entire NYC, almost 60%, was in Boro Park. Cruz also won in other heavily Orthodox election districts in New York.

    I am ashamed of my fellow New Yorkers… What were they thinking when they voted for Trump??

    Those were the goyim. The Yidden voted for Cruz. See my above comment.

    I didn’t say my fellow Jews, I said my fellow New Yorkers. Personally, I don’t think Cruz would make a great president either, but I’d take a theocracy over a totalitarian dictatorship.

    CA: Truth is that he’s not halachically related to his grandchildren, so it doesn’t matter.

    Cruz finished a poor third place with less than 15% of the vote statewide. Looking at the primary results map, it looks like the charedi areas are pretty much the only places Cruz got any votes. He did win one election district in my neighborhood 8 votes compared to 3 for Trump and none for Kasich. (Those are not typos.) In one election district in the South Bronx, there was a three way tie: Trump, Cruz, and Kasich each received zero votes.

    Charlie,

    I guess that meant there was no voting republican in that district
