I live on Long Island. I can tell you this, there are many people out here like me me that are totally disgusted with this DEMOCRAP PARTY!!!...I m Conservative,so I do feel like I m in the wilderness with gangsters like CUOMO and CHUCK in charge.One day people will wake up and CHUCK will go back to chasing ambulances on the lower east side!
Shmuckie is part of the leadership...my guess is he went out to test the water for throwing Obama under the buss!!

2. At what point in the process will he stab conservatives in the back? It’s coming. After all, he’s a schmuck.
