that’s an easy Theory to shoot down. I live 40 minutes away on Staten Island. I am a social conservative.

Oh, you must think I am uninformed. I know you are from Staten Island. After all, you must post hundreds of times a day. Staten Island is not like the rest of NY. Richmond County (yes, I even know its actual county name) voted for Trump over Hillary 57% to 40%. Traditionally, the House seat in Richmond County (and usually shared with a piece of Brooklyn included - you probably think I didn't know that either) is Republican. I'm sure you remember the Molinari family.

Now, let's look at Queens: Hillary 76% and Trump 22%. Let's move to another island - Manhattan (New York County) threw caution to the wind and a mere 10% voted for Trump and a whopping 87% voted for Hillary.

Richmond County is the outlier. That is the place people from Manhattan look down on and think they are better.

So, yes. To conclude and end your lesson, people in Manhattan and Queens are different and massively more liberal. It is a different culture than Richmond is and you may as well be 400 miles away.

And Staten Island is much more politically different than Queens. I applaud Trump for not wading in this distraction issues that Cruz would’ve bogged us down in.
