Folks, lets take a chill pill here shall we?
I lived with in New York a long time and I am as conservative as anyone.
You guys seem to forget that before DeBlasio, there were 20 straight years of Republican rule as mayor in New York City consisting of 5 terms, starting with Giuliani.
Also Republican Pataki served three straight terms as governor of New York State.
No party rules forever in any state.
Don't forget that even red states like Kentucky and Kansas currently have Dem governors. Does it mean everyone in Kansas is flaming leftists? Of course not.
After the nightmare with DeBlasio I doubt if many of those fleeing New York are going to be voting for any far left lunatics like DeBlasio anytime soon. I can guarantee you, if DeBlasio were to stand for office today in New York, he'd lose. Good thing he can't run again

Bloomberg doesn't count.
