Conservatives living in New York may now finally realize the Republican Party in that state does not share their conservative values.
Those who are true conservatives in NY are under no delusion that most NY Republicans are conservative. In NY a truly conservative candidate will typically garner about 30% of the votes of the electorate. In most districts, there simply are not enough conservatives to support a Conservative Republican. NY-23 is one of the few exceptions, which makes this situation such a shame to have come about. The reason that RINOs win in NY State is not because the National party has “chosen” those candidates, but because RINOs are typically the winners of the Republican primaries. I’ve been working here in NY for conservatives in the primaries for years and I happen to actually know how these things work in NYState. Whether conservatives in the heartland of America like it or not, it is not possible to elect true conservatives in many of the NorthEast congressional districts. The choice we have here is often either RINO representation or Socialist representation. There is no “conservative” possibility in many districts.
