So he’s won a state and an island. Great!
Via Politico:
Donald Trump may have clobbered his rivals in the New York primary, but it was John Kasich who won the real estate mogul’s own stomping grounds: Manhattan.
The Ohio governor defeated Trump in New York County, which is conterminous with Manhattan, 45.2 percent to 41.8 percent. Kasich also bested Trump in New York’s 12th Congressional District, which includes part of Manhattan’s East Side and a chunk of Brooklyn, by 700 votes.
Trump did manage to carry Trump Tower and the few blocks around it, however, according to neighborhood-level maps compiled by The New York Times.
Though he’ll have little else to show for his effort, Kasich’s Big Apple victory is the ultimate insult for the billionaire who boasted earlier in the evening that he takes pride in earning support from the people who know him best.
