2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: How can NY not vote for this guy? [View all]brooklynite
(93,847 posts)40. So has Clinton...
...bottom line: Zephyr Teachout started behind Cuomo...and stayed there.
nb - I'll be happy to support her in NY-19 if she can actually win the Primary; just as I'll be happy to support Sanders. In all honesty, I'd give Teachout better odds of winning in November.

True but there is no evidence to suggest he will overwhelm her in those areas to overcome her
