She's from upstate NY where even there the GOP is moderate given there is no state GOP committee to help them win elections. The seat just to the South is the one air head Kristen Gillibrand stole from John Sweeney as the Dems running the state released confidential reports to smear him the day before the election. The fact that any Republicans win in NY with the collapse of the state GOP party is a miracle.
Instead the GOPe get Trump to endorse another establishment Republican for leadership.
