A question for knowledgeable DUers...?

13. Excuse me, I think I already said that Republicans support him. Are you saying that we Dems

should be happy with a Candidate only Republicans could love? Do you SEE the problem with this at all? Dems in NY held their noses and voted for a Candidate that Republicans love. Had he run as a Republican, he would have won with a landslide, that is how right leaning he is.

Now we have to do something to end this charade we are presented with here in NY. Corporate candidates loaded with Corporate money which they are now beholden to.

When Republicans love someone, should we not be a bit suspicious about that?

NYC turned right during the Bloomberg years when Corporate money drove the working class out of a city they can no longer afford. Giuliani began the process, making NYC 'safe' for the Wealthy. And not all of the wealthy in NYC are Republicans, I know, I worked for some of them. Moving the homeless and other 'undesirables' out of the city was the goal of both Giuliani and Bloomberg. It now belongs to the wealthy, both Dems and Repubs.

Staten Island is Republican, Nassau and Suffolk cos on LI mostly Republican. Upstate NY is also Conservative. Brooklyn and Queens are probably still Democratic. But NYC is now a place only the wealthy can afford which was intentional.

The fact that Dem candidate appeals to Republicans is not something to be proud of. But it seems our Dem candidates work harder to attract Republican voters than they do Democratic voters.

And guess what, if they want to appeal to Republicans, then they better not complain when Dems leave them to those voters, as in the many recent cases of the Blue Dogs. Enough is enough is what the Dem voters are saying. They can listen, or rely on their Republican 'base'.
