40. So has Clinton...

Mar 2016

...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.

No thanks. This is Clinton country. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #1
Sorry, but You don't speak for NY choie Mar 2016 #2
Neither do you. But all the polls and just living here tells me who is going to win. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #3
It's where the 5% live. Wilms Mar 2016 #4
Feel better? hrmjustin Mar 2016 #6
What? Wilms Mar 2016 #9
First I thought you lived here and second if you did you would know why that doesn't matter. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #11
Wall Street has PLENTY of so-called "Democrats". Wilms Mar 2016 #17
Yes some but the rich only make up a small part of this state. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #21
Understood. Wilms Mar 2016 #28
I voted for Teachout and it said not everyone was sold on Cuomo. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #29
...that 2/3 of the Democrats didn't vote for her? brooklynite Mar 2016 #37
And Bernie has done a lot of that winning, hasn't he. Wilms Mar 2016 #38
So has Clinton... brooklynite Mar 2016 #40
Pfft. You don't speak for New York, these people know one of their own: beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #5
He still won't win this borough. Sorry but a block party will not cut it. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #7
You don't speak for New York, you don't get to dismiss those supporters. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #8
I am on the ground campaigning and canvassing as I do throught every year all over Brookkyn hrmjustin Mar 2016 #10
Sure you are. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #12
Being a native doesn't mean anything here and if you knew NY political history you would know that. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #19
It must mean something to those folks and you don't speak for anyone but yourself. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #20
I speak from experience. No doubt you know a lot of your home region based on you political hrmjustin Mar 2016 #23
Again that has NOTHING to do with your dismissal of Bernie supporters in NY. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #24
And who elected you hall monitor? hrmjustin Mar 2016 #25
I'm just calling it like I see it. Other people live in New York too. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #26
Yes as do I and when NY threads come up i will be the realist and tell political reality. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #27
Calling a state "Clinton country" isn't reality, it's entitlement. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #30
Actually I think Sanders did Hillary a favor. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #32
I live in NYC choie Mar 2016 #13
Yes but not many. The demographics don't work for him, hrmjustin Mar 2016 #15
He'll take the hipster community in Williamsburg...and the progressive community on the UWS of Manh brooklynite Mar 2016 #41
You do remember there are whole big sections of New York... DeadLetterOffice Mar 2016 #14
True but there is no evidence to suggest he will overwhelm her in those areas to overcome her hrmjustin Mar 2016 #16
Guess we'll see come Primary Day. n/t DeadLetterOffice Mar 2016 #18
True. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #22
I already have inside information that Brooklyn is not as strong for Clinton as hrmjustin Live Bait Mar 2016 #31
Good to know!!! beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #33
Your info on Bay Ridge is wrong. Borough Park will be competitive but not a Sanders landslide. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #34
Looks like a great party. AtomicKitten Mar 2016 #35
Probably for the same reason I didn't vote for Reagan... brooklynite Mar 2016 #36
If Sanders gets 40% in NY, he can consider that a moral victory. Tarc Mar 2016 #39
Easy. They just vote for that woman. MineralMan Mar 2016 #42
