I thought Paladino was not going to run but was going to endorse a candidate for governor.
On whether he likes Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) more than New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie:
“Absolutely. I think Christie would be moving the country in the wrong direction, sort of like a Clinton. OK, he’ll be whatever you want him to be on any given day. I like the style, not necessarily the substance. I think he’s a little narcissistic and he thinks of himself and his future although he doesn’t reveal it in that way, he tries to be homey with everybody but I think inside that he doesn’t have those convictions.”
Well, people were still talking about Paladino for governor at a meeting I went to tonight. In their view, he is much more conservative than Astorino, which sounds correct to me. Astorino would have to be soft on a few issues to win in his area. Will check out which ones.
