that is a very good point that I haven’t thought about. However, where there are democrats, there is fraud
Tammany Hall in NYC was probably the first big Democrat machine rife with fraud in the USA. So they know how to do fraud.
I can almost see the exploding head on election night when they call NY for Trump. I so wish that would happen.
“Lee is good for New York. Best shot is probably for Governor.”
Zeldin is by no means a staunch conservative, but he would be a fine Governor for NY (probably the best we can do, of anyone who would have even a snowball’s chance). Hochul is brutally unpopular, but overcoming the automatic Democrat vote in the NYC ghetto, other upstate ghettos, and deteriorating suburban areas is practically impossible. In recent years it has been *totally* impossible.
The last Republican to win any statewide office in New York was George Pataki.... 22 long years ago.
Since Governor is a far less important office than U.S. Senator, Republicans are sometimes able to (i.e. are “allowed” to) win gubernatorial elections in hard-left states. Like Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, etc.
It can be permitted because a GOP Governor, with a veto-proof Democrat legislature holding the true power in the state, is merely an impotent figurehead — who, along with his equally impotent party, can be conveniently assigned blame by the media and other Democrats when things go sour in the state.
Reparations now!
Oh Wait...
Well, I hope you're right, but my guess is that Trump will get more New York votes than any Republican in a long time but fall well short of actually winning New York. Hope I'm wrong.
