“Obviously”, your “ass”umption has once again made an ass out of you.

The article, which I did read, specifically mentions *U.S. House* elections (like D’Esposito). Those are a lot more important than some minor moves at the STATE legislative level given the close breakdown in the U.S. House.

Even if some non-existent “red wave” does occur on the microscopic scale (hardly a “wave” of any kind”) the article asserts at the state legislative level, it will at most accomplish perhaps ruining the Democrats’ veto-proof majority in the Senate. Which means squat with Kathy Hochul in office.

I assume blue collar workers and NYPD/FDNY all retire in Florida. So Trump will lose thousands of potential votes there.

All the remaining voters are on the dole. And immigrants.

I admire your spirit, but Trump will lose CO by 5, NY by 10, and CA by 20.

PA on the other hand...if Trump wins PA he will win the election.

Mike LiPetri and Alison Esposito are the *U.S. House* candidates mentioned by Zeldin as having a chance of flipping current House seats held by Dems. They are NOT running for NY State House seats, they are running for U.S. House seats.

Care to revise your previous comment? Another question: Why do you think you know more about NY politics than Lee Zeldin? Do you have access to info he doesn't have?

“Mike LiPetri and Alison Esposito are the *U.S. House* candidates mentioned by Zeldin as having a chance of flipping current House seats held by Dems. “

Nice save there — and good emergency research — seeing as how those 2 are running in *precisely* the 2 districts I had already mentioned in post 28 — CD-3 (Santos’ old district) and CD-18 vs. Ryan.

In CD-18 there’s a small chance at a pickup; there’s just about zero chance in CD-3 in that newly-gerrymandered seat, all cheerleading aside. And then there’s the all-but-gone CD-22 (Williams and the massively endangered CD-17 (Lawler). But you already knew that, since it’s pretty common knowledge.

I live in New York. Albany and California are as woke as the worst parts of California. If the loads of unionized state employees don’t put the Left over the top, then lots of Leftist NGOs and NY City fake ballots will do it.

“Trump understands the power of momentum. He reminds me of Napoleon in that regard. You can accomplish big things if you know how to harness momentum. “

Very true!

Lee came within 6 pounts. That’s not close. In NY it can be considered 28-17 vs 35-10. And Zeldin was a great candidate vs Hochul who was and is a Ditz.

I’m as optimistic as they come but NY is as attainable as CA for the Presidential vote. Perhaps the R’s can pick up seats in the House.

We thought NYC would have gone republican last mayor election but didn’t. I certainly hope we get the whole state in November.

I’d recommend trump go to North Carolina and campaign there every week. He must win the state of North Carolina!

Oh, brother! SMFH

You can SYFH all you want. Zeldin lost in '22 by four points, in '24, Trump is more popular than Zeldin and nobody here likes Kamala's illegal invasion.

correction: Zeldin lost by 6.

My point still holds. I believe Trump is closer now.

It’s embarrassing that Donald Trump can’t carry all fifty states! Kamala Harris is a very weak candidate who shouldn’t be, even, close to getting fifty percent of the total vote, even with cheating!

This isn't 1988.

A lot of it is due to indoctrination in our public schools and universities. And yes, our demographics are changing (but we can remain competitive if we can challenge the "narrative")
