Tuesday's New York Republican primary was not kind to Ted Cruz.

After the Texas senator derided the “New York values” of the state’s very own Donald J. Trump, New Yorkers responded by awarding Cruz with zero delegates.

And as though that were not enough, one district in Westchester County saw Cruz lose even to Ben Carson, who’s no longer running for president.

Carson, now a tepid Trump surrogate, failed to request his name be removed from the ballot in time for Tuesday’s primary.

We’ll never know whether those voters who backed Carson knew he ended his campaign more than a month ago, but regardless, it sits as a small cherry atop a sad primary sundae Cruz will have to eat until next week’s string of Northeast and mid-Atlantic primaries.
