Game Over...Reagan won NY, Native Son Trump wins NY - 29 Electoral Votes General Election

[Eagles6]

Awful lot of newbies signed up in the last few weeks that are ecstatic about Trump.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Awful lot of newbies signed up in the last few weeks that are ecstatic about Trump. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

If they're sincere in supporting Trump, I see no reason to zot them just over the born on date. This last FReepathon took over 70 days to complete and if newbies are treated as pariahs here, it will be tough for those with tenure to speed things along. I'm still considered a n00b here because of being here for a a mere five years. And one of the most active FReepers assisting with the 'thons also has a somewhat recent born on date.

It can't just be the FRe (Free Republic Elite) from the pre-2000 years keeping this site active and vibrant. Some (like me) don't have a whole lot of years ahead and some young 'uns -- so long as they're thoroughly Conservative -- can keep Free Republic at the top.

Ok...We don't sell papers here...

I suspect that demographically, the New York of 1980 no longer exists.

How does the white population compare, percentage wise, then and now?

Thanks for early morning chuckle!

And a majority of republicans and independents in Jeb Bush's home state of Florida say he should drop out of the race

[Eagles6]

Not wanting to zot them just find it amusing.

Know Trump is no Conservative but he is saying things that need to be said, knows how to handle the media and has the GOPe and the dems scared which is a good thing.

We just bought a 2011 328. The last year of the DOHC in line 6. 35,000 miles. The old 2001 was getting a little long in the tooth. What an engine! What a car. Half the car is engine. I swear.

I have been saying all along the Rats and RINOs carefully laid plan for the battlefield has been destroyed by Trump. More evidence, we learn yesterday the GOPee changed the rules in 2014 such that after March 15 all primaries were winner take all. They sent so many to splinter support in the first four states so that after Jeb won Florida no one could catch up. One problem. Trump is now ahead in Florida. Think of it. If Trump takes Florida AND Neuva York in both the primaries AND the election, as our boy says, it is GAME OVER. The Rats and RINOs can both pound sand.

It would be interesting to see what the NY voters would do.

For the right price, I'll tell you exactly what they'll do.

[PGalt]

ABSOLUTELY. It’s over. Go back to your holes, garbage cans, elite enclaves, RATS and RINOS.

Welcome aboard, E2Oerer.

Reagan carried NY state but not NYC.
If anything NYC is less Republican now than then....

I can see Trump winning the GOP primary in NY (maybe even NYC)
but not carrying it in the general election.

[C. Edmund Wright]

True, no way any Republican carries NY or California now....any notion that they can is just fools gold. These blue state governors are fools gold too.....

I’ve been wondering about the same thing. Why wouldn’t Trump be able to take New York. There is a large Hispanic population, but they are by and large Caribbean Hispanic, not Mexican/Central American, which means they have not much more personal connection to illegal aliens than the average American other than that they share the same label “Hispanic”, which is in itself an overly broad label when you think about it. Then yes, NYC chock full of liberals dominates the state, but Bloomberg won twice there as a Republican (and once more as an independent), and now with di Blasio unleashing a major crime wave, a lot of New Yorkers are probably looking back wistfully on the Bloomberg years. I could see it.

I just picked up a 98 328i with 178k. Needed a battery and some vacuum lines.

[ebshumidors]

Paid $1k.

[AppyPappy]

That was prior to rampant and blatant voter fraud.

Thanks for the welcome. Trump should start campaigning more in New York just to stick it to the Media Elites. Hold a campaign rally blocks from their cushy studios which would result in the on air commentators reduced to complaining about how they were late to work again because Trump held is 5th campaign rally that same week. They would have to give him more air time because he's in their own back yard. He shouldn't be obnoxious about it, but just show them who is boss in the Big Apple.

Have the Live with Kelly and Michael morning show interrupted with Trump coverage. That would get him tons of free real time press. Have him interrupt SNL or the Late Show. New Yorkers love Trump. The elites on the other hand….

Trump will also win New York in the general election. :-)

Game Ovaahhhh

[E20erer]

Trump could still win New York… He needs to campaign more in New York, all of New York, including NYC elites back yard, He needs to have the cabbies, bell hops an uber drivers supporting him. Same with Laguardia and JFK airport personal supporting him. Trump has only made NY more positive overall. They will support him.
