NY GOP Official: Trump Will Get Many Democratic Votes

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will win the votes of large numbers of Democrats in the November elections, predicts Ed Cox, chairman of the New York Republican State Committee.

Appearing on "The Cats Roundtable" Sunday radio show on AM 970 New York hosted by John Catsimatidis, Cox said that "in those states where they had open primaries, Trump attracted huge numbers of Democrats … it's not about party for them, it's about being respected again and for their country being respected again in the international arena."

Cox said another factor that will attract non-Republican voters is disillusionment among many Bernie Sanders supporters who are upset with the Democratic establishment for ignoring their views and for what they view as a rigged nomination process due to the use of superdelegates.
