Yes, of course. I was not trying to say New York City Republicans were conservatives. I wouldn’t say that because it wasn’t and isn’t true. I said the Upper East Side (the silk stocking district) was Republican. Certainly, they didn’t go for DeBlasio.
The only neighborhoods the GOP candidate Lhota carried on Manhattan were Turtle Bay-East Midtown (51%), Yorkville (53%), and Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill (61%).
