New York City’s Democrat scandals work to Trump’s advantage; put New York State in play

As Blue as New York State is, its Senate is still controlled by the Republicans. In New York City, however there is no Republican presence except for three City Council seats. Consequently the City’s scandals are 100% owned by Democrats.

After a thorough investigation, Preet Bharara, a local US Attorney, succeeded in convicting and jailing both the Democrat Speaker of the State Assembly and the Republican Leader of the State Senate. Immediately afterward Bharara announced he was going after New York’s Democrat Governor, Andrew Cuomo. Then a strange thing happened: Bharara announced that he would not be going further on any investigations of Cuomo.

Just a few weeks after Bharara’s 180 degree U-turn away from Cuomo, as many as five different investigations into how things are done in New York City came to light. There is one looking into Mayor Bill de Blasio making fund raising calls from his office to put together the money to allow him to manipulate the outcome of upstate State Senate elections.

Another focuses on a slush fund which provides kickbacks to de Blasio’s campaign contributors. And a third focuses on high ranking members of the City’s Police Department serving as personal service surfs for crooked businessmen. It seems the NYPD employees see to their master’s every desire in exchange for a roll with a hooker on a ride to Las Vegas.

Seems like the odds-on bet to me. Trump’s brand in NY and NJ is highly regarded, and I’m not sure anyone who hasn’t lived there for a while can really appreciate just how widespread and positive his name recognition in the area is.

At the very least - Trump is going to fight for NE and NY and PA.

Unlike just giving up like previous republican candidates.

I actually believe that this is possible. Also, Ohio and PA. That’s a lot of electoral votes.

New York is going to go for Hillary ,Trump or not. 2680190 people voted in the Primary. 27% could not vote for a total of 3680190 potential voters. Hillary and Bernie got a total of 1817552 which is 49.38% of the potential total. Trump would need 98.8 % of the Independents to win.

If Trump can take NY, it’s over for Hillary. Funny how there are no polls on this.

There was a Fabrizio Lee poll that showed Trump up a few points but I forget the numbers.

If Trump’s the nominee, Hillary will be having to expend funds to hold on to Massachusetts.

What you fail to realize is that every one of the Bernie votes will go to Trump. It won’t even be close in NY.
