“That’s only part of the story. It’s also about the NYGOP and the NY Conservative Party. If the NYGOP had not been so chock full of RINOs, NY Conservative Party would not have a reason for being”
That was true when the party bosses picked the candidate for the special election. But when there is a primary and voters like you and me pick who we want to run, it’s an entirely different thing to just disregard it. Before he was fighting that party bosses and this time around if he loses, he’ll be fighting the voters. It might just be me, but I thought that selfish, condescending politicians were what we were protesting, not our own will.
If Hoffman doesn't win the GOP primary, it's not the end of the world. The GOP nominee could be a turkey with scandals in the closet or commit major errors campaigning. NY needs the Conservative Party because its GOP is pretty lousy, IMHO.
