But the good news: I didn’t realize how well Trump did in upstate New York. We’d have to claim part of Vermont, which won’t go over well with the natives... but screw’em. Maine’s nice.
New York City and it’s huge numbers of voters skew the results for New York State in elections. Upstate New York would be a red state without New York City.
There are a lot of Republicans on Long Island. My late uncle was Republican party official when I was a kid.
Most of my relatives on Long Island and in the city voted for Trump. Not all of them, but most of them.
