Donald Trump’s fired-up New York backers predict that a victory by him in November would set the stage for defeating Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2018 — and lead to the ouster of their own GOP leader next year.
They also predict that if the Manhattan developer becomes president, he’d work from the White House to turn New York away from the anti-business, tax-and-spend, “progressive’’ Democratic politicians, including Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio, who now dominate City Hall and the state Capitol.
The Trump supporters, who lost out Friday in an effort to convince state GOP Chairman Ed Cox to endorse him before New York’s April 19 primary, told The Post that what one called “our rapidly growing organization’’ will lay the foundation for an anti-Cuomo effort in two years.
“A strong showing by Trump in upstate and on Long Island will be a clear indication that we can defeat Cuomo in 2018 and, if we have a President Trump in the White House, we’ll be even stronger,’’ said Tom Dadey, the Onondaga County (Syracuse) GOP chairman.

NY’s electoral votes would look awfully good in that red column.
I thought the GOP problem with Trump was that he would have no coat-tails. This would be a big one.
A lot of supposing here, though... I’d have to see it to believe it.
And I hope The Dick Man chokes on that fact too!!!
This is the areswipe who help sabotage Carl Paladino’s NY Governor campaign when his people SENT PHOTOGRAPHERS TO TAKE PICTURES IN THE WINDOW OF PALADINO’S 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER
Carl almost kicked his ass and I wish Michael Caputo would have let him.
Yeh....Guliano for governor!!
The whole political structure is afraid that if Trump becomes President, his leadership will inspire the public to oust all the corrupt politicians.
“They also predict that if the Manhattan developer...”
That was a long time ago.
It should more accurately be “Reality TV celebrity”.
Or Hillary could win New York in a landslide.

Trump should have run for NY governor first if he is so fired up about it. Then people could have seen how he governs before taking a big risk and voting him in as president. It’s the route that Reagan took.
Personal attack.
Doesn’t look good for you.
dems lose NY or CA and they have no chance.
Finnegan...finnegan, isn’t that the LA Times columnist?
No WOULD BE OUT. Which is more reason why Trump will win NYS. Cuomo is not very popular even among Democrats.

Cuomo sucks.
“a lot of supposing” is putting it mildly. They don’t indicate any strategy for how this would possibly happen. It’s just more Magical Trump Thinking with nothing behind it, like “Mexico will pay for the wall”.
Besides, a President working to undermine local elected officials isn’t exactly a conservative value. Let us continue to build a grassroots conservative movement here rather than try to impose it from Washington.
Red’s Communist.
Except Albany is a cesspool and political dead-end. Trump was wise to avoid going there. Sacramento in 1966 was a lot different place for Reagan.
