The NYS GOP is the bellwether of things to come nationally.

After decades of watered down "moderation," the NYS party has no candidates, limited funding and has been reduced to begging billionaires with dubious conservative credentials to run for office for at least the past dozen years: Golisano, Paladino, Bloomberg and now Trump.

Meanwhile, the national party is following down the same path, albeit slightly behind the curve. Romney was just the beginning.

“So far, Trump, who only recently learned of the effort, which is backed by state GOP Chairman Ed Cox and other party leaders, hasn’t said a flat “no.’’ **** “

-

I say if Trump runs, he’ll clobber his competition.

He should run.

I really have nothing against Donald Trump, but this is a terrible idea. Cuomo may be a big fat lib, but I give him credit for having a dignified demeanor - which is always kind of refreshing in Noo Yawk. Trump will look like a complete clown compared to him; Cuomo won’t have to do anything, he’ll just have to stand there and be “not THAT guy”.

Trump running would be worth mountains of popcorn -- but I think New York has crossed the Rubicon as far as it's takers. There is no going back.

I doubt Trump would win, and I doubt he would go for it. His ego is huge enough but he likes free publicity much better than paying for it.

Seriously, is that what we’re left with? Almost makes me long for the days of Pierre Renfret! (That was the first year I voted Conservative Party for governor.)

They must indeed be desperate. Donald couldn’t get himself elected to the condo association.

Trump on FNC Varney now. He talks a lot of platitudes but its hard to get him to expand solutions.

You may be right, but FReepers should understand that this is the NYC GOP. A semblance of a Republican party still exists upstate, but we are, as always, outnumbered by our urban brethren.
