Yup. I grew up in the Hudson Valley and escaped in 2013, sadly my Mom and Brothers and Sons are still there. I’ve been trying to get them to move out for years, but when your family has been there since 1760, it’s a tough sell.
From the end of the article: "He {the Democrat winner} probably also benefited from strong backing from developer Carl Paladino, an icon in South Buffalo and a member of another group of intertwined political families. Bohen certainly benefited from the ballot Conservative line."
A totally screwed up state!
I grew up in a solidly Republican Nassau County (Long Island).
Long Island has changed, a lot, since I left - and not for the better.
I’m surprised there are ANY GOP seats left, anywhere on the Island, which is overrun with invaders and SJWs.
Trump was not elected by Republicans, he was elected by Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
These Yankees from NY and Conn NJ Mass PA Ill have been invading the south for years but now its a Massive Tidal Wave of invaders into FL GA SC NC . In particular baby boomers .
The old timers have died off and all that is left are Foreign invaders ,
Blood sucking welfare check crowd , and rich Libs aka Socialists .
These left wing hokes state are emptying out fast .
So is left to vote republican ?
They aren’t doing anything to keep those crossover votes that Trump brought in. In fact, it seems they are actively trying to destroy his coalition with the Republicans trying to govern as establishment Republicans. For a long time in Trump’s Presidency, many were openly fighting him and criticizing him. That got somewhat better, and they got the tax reform through, but that’s it. They haven’t tried to work on the key issues important to the Trump voter coalition. Health care was boggled. Their bill was a dud in terms of popularity, and in order to take account of the elderly voters and independent voters, they needed to find a way to insure people who couldn’t afford it and lower costs and promote private insurance for the rest. There was no infrastructure package. Trump ran on immigration reform. What happened with that? Couldn’t even get them to vote for the wall and that was his signature issue. The omnibus was also bad. I get why people aren’t enthused on our side to some extent, but the Democrats seek impeachment, 2nd Amendment restrictions, open borders, higher taxes, more censorship, etc. Republicans need to emphasize these things and run on it. Trump had a great coalition, but they need to hold on to it.
Sorry, post had to do with Fed Congress, however, Repub gains in the State Houses can easily be lost as well.
You won't find the answer to that reading Vox or other leftist media. The leftists are creating a blue wave narrative. Best to just ignore it.
What exactly is BS about it? Did the Republicans, in fact, win the New York seat? Are the Democrats not winning the majority of these special elections for Congress and state legislatures? Please be specific.
Shhhhhhhhh.
Any GOP win is to be ignored, and are meaningless.

The new Tax Laws are creating a massive tidal wave of Northerners invaders flooding into the more conservative South .
Only the left wing nuts , very rich , and there plantation voters will be left .
Dems have gained/flipped 39 seats since 2016; more if you count municipal races. Par for the course though, since that “Party of the President loses seats in mid-term” meme.
It would be unwise to ignore them picking up 40 seats. Look at the results of the Lamb and Lesko elections (red districts). Every area vote shift was blue. We saw what happened to Obama in 2010 because we were a part of it. The left wants the same thing, and if we don’t read the signs, they could get it.
Republicans don’t inspire; they don’t fight and they don’t keep their promises.
If they simply protected our inalienable rights like a junkyard dog, that alone would turn things around.
Hint, hint...
“Democrats are cleaning up in special elections “
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate and the power of voter fraud.
Impeach him on what? That’s the problem with all this impeachment BS. There is no “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors”.
Here are the "signs": the leftist media is going all out to F Trump. They used to pretend to not do stuff like that, but they decided to drop the pretense this time, and probably from now on. The media is the enemy. They need to die, figuratively. Reading their BS and believing it is the wrong thing to do. The way to kill them off is to first stop reading it.
