Cripes, I almost hope Nixon wins the primary

That would be a huge laugh if it happened (but it won't) ... megalomaniac Lil' Andy Cuomo out-leftied by a nonsensical leftie actress who doesn't have even a pinkie of the political talent or strength as the Lil' Sphachime ...

It's fun to imagine, though :)

...especially white holier than thou liberals who live in the inner cities of Minneapolis and St Paul.

Inner city to me carries the connotation of poverty and crime. I doubt if many white libs would choose to live there.

She is down 40 Points to Fredo.

The only thing she will be fixing is her Haircut.

This could be an interesting experiment. If she actually did win (doubtful), would Hannity finally make the move out of New York or is the pull of growing up there too much?

"It's not going to be easy," [Cynthia Nixon] admits. "And it's not going to be cheap. But we don't have a choice."

Nixon is running against incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo on a platform that includes single-payer health care; legalizing marijuana and ending mass incarceration and cash bail; investing in schools, not jails; universal rent control; and abolishing ICE.

Voters in NY face a true dilemma: Two choices, both bad. Cynthia is going to learn the lesson Ohio learned a long time ago and that Chicago is learning now: Tax people enough and they will leave. Cuomo believes he can freeze rents, but that was done before and housing space simply rotted away because it wasn't worthwhile making repairs. Why is it people in politics don't know anything about economics?

Cause most of them have never had a real job and sustain their livelihoods through pandering.

Oh, no. They are actually moving into these places and "gentrifying" them. This is driving out the former (minority) residents and opening up yet another gaping fissure in the Dem voter base.

“NY City and Upstate are totally different places and peoples”

Western NY also from what I’m told.

I hear what you’re saying - but there’s a number of areas in Mpls-St Paul in which upper middle class guilt-ridden white liberals predominate.

Areas like Kenwood, East Calhoun, Lynnhurst, etc. Not surprisingly, these areas are very strongly white. The people in those areas a NIMBY liberals.

The same thing happened in France when François Hollande was their president; he put the tax rate up to 70 percent and there was a huge flight of the wealthy people out of the country. Macron is somewhat better on that front, but he’s all for destroying what’s left of France’s sovereignty.

It’s not “people in politics” but people who practice a certain kind of politics. And they don’t care about economics rather than not know; they are seeking to cause collapse for the sole purpose of assuming total control.

Wasn’t Cuomo “threatening” any and all organizations that were wont to support Nixon?

Ask how California likes the results of “tax the rich”. The rich, and their businesses, are fleeing in droves.

My inlaws fled CA a few months ago. THey are in CDA, ID now. My father in law faced over 1000 years in CA prison for his gun and standard capacity magazines verboten in CA now.

Since the rich voted for Clinton especially in elite cities like New York they probably deserve to be made to live up to their own values. Socialism today is a wealthy elite thing and the Republican (open borders) establishment is incapable of effectively fighting it so they deserve to pay it too.

He’s a monster, capable of anything.

Which, I guess, is why he’ll win.
