American race to White House: Donald Trump poised for win in New York republican primary, Vows to rewrite America political map.

Donald Trump is expected to breeze to victory on Tuesday in the New York primary and he’s vowed to put the heavily Democratic state in play in the November general election, but the Queens native could find his home state a political graveyard like so many Republican presidential contenders before him. Polls show Trump beating his Republican rivals with about 50 percent support versus roughly 20 percent each for Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Governor John Kasich. The New York businessman insists he is the only one of the three remaining candidates who can attract enough new voters to win states in the November 8 general election that have long been key Democratic strongholds. Trump has said repeatedly in interviews and on the campaign trail that he could rewrite the electoral map to put historically Democratic states such as New York and Pennsylvania in play in a general election. As he describes it, he has crossover appeal that is strongest in the populous northeastern United States, where social attitudes are more liberal than in the deeply religious South and Midwest. Yet polls and voter-registration records suggest Trump’s odds of beating a Democrat in any Northeastern state, let alone New York, are much lower than, say, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton winning a fortune in a Trump-owned casino, reports Reuters. Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, said in an interview that even though he hasn’t started competing in the general election, Trump has an advantage in New York because he’s well known and employs people in the state. He cited Trump’s strong primary performances in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as evidence of his popularity in New England. “What you have with Donald Trump is a candidate who is the only candidate in this race that will actually have an opportunity to win states that Mitt Romney didn’t win,” Lewandowski said, referring to the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, who is also a former Massachusetts governor. Pennsylvania has 4 million registered Democrats and 3.1 million Republicans, but only 62,000 Democrats have switched sides since the beginning of 2016, state data show.
