Buoyed by an uptick in national polling, Donald Trump is expected on Wednesday to outline the reasons he still thinks he can win heavily Democratic New York as he accepts the small but influential Conservative Party’s nomination for president.
Trump, who will deliver an evening address as the Conservatives wind up their convention at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, “thinks he can win New York, as difficult as that may seem to people out there, if the stars align correctly,’’ a senior Trump campaign operative told The Post.
“New York means a lot to Mr. Trump and he has not by any means given up on the state,’’ the operative said.
Longtime Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long told The Post, “I know how difficult it would be to win this state,” but he added Trump does have a shot.
“Trump’s numbers upstate are pretty good, and they’re pretty good on Long Island, so I don’t think it’s impossible that he could take New York. And I don’t see any real enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton out there, and that’s an indicator,’’ Long said....

You’d be right if this was Jeb or Ted. Forget about them carrying the Northeast.
With Trump, those states are play. And if NY can be flipped, watch out for CT next door.
Looks like someone gave hillary 31 electoral votes in states that are FAR from settled: MO, NV, Utah, Iowa.
Possibly PA.
You say Trump does need NY to win but show a map where he wins without it.
Was that just a misprint.
Always love your posts and look forward to them :)
First time I have seen an electoral map for this election. Thanks!
Don’t trust PA and MI with massive voter fraud in Philly and Detroit. I think Trump carries IA, NV, and MO.
Agreed across the board. PA just isn’t reliable.
What’s going on in Utah? They really gonna vote for that in-it-for-one-state mormon guy?
I said this was possible last month and a number of Freepers freaked out!
If Hillary gets a low turnout in NYC it is quite possible.
The difference is that Trump is a native New Yorker.
Sorry dp0622, I clearly meant NY is NOT needed.
When in a hurry to go to dinner, I make typo’s galore.
As for astute comments from other posters regarding far from settled states, I was simply trying to be conservative! So MO, NV, UT, IA etc are all possibilities for Trump, and actually IMO better chance than winning PA.
+1. In Iowa things are trending the right direction. Joni Earnst and the Terry Branstad are two positive forces for the Don in the state.
Trump fits the profile of a Republican who can win New York.
See my post #8 ! :-)
And there REALLY is a chance for Trump to get Ct., with or without N.Y.! Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford are the problem areas, but where I am, the swell for Trump ( even amongst life long Dems and teachers ! ), is HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!
And he has employed the usual Dem voting UNION members for many decades. Most of them ARE going to vote for Trump! :-)
Enter the hackable voting machine.
Oh man, IDK about MI....if that goes to crooked Hillary, it will be 269-269!
Not ALL states use the Diebold machines.
Check that, I mean PA looks iffy, and then there is that single EV from Maine which will make it 269-269.
Missouri is a solid Republican state now federally, like Tennessee (my state) and West Virginia. 20 years ago, these states were contested by the Dems, not anymore.
The media has fed this bizarre fetish that Utah could be in play, which is ludicrous. It’s worth pointing out that even if Trump underperforms there, Hillary won’t be taking up the slack. Her husband came in THIRD there in 1992 behind Perot.
If it ends up a tie as such, it goes to the House, and with a GOP majority, they would vote Trump in (though there will be pressure on RINO leftists to vote for Hillary, and several probably would). There could be a bizarre situation if there were enough disgruntled NeverTrumper RINOs to vote in Hillary while voting in Pence as VP.
