"Oh, I am originally from NYC." "Oh, I am originally from NJ." "We commute to Manhattan/NJ". NY Pizza, NY Bagels, NY Yankees, Jets/Giants, Rangers stuff in stores. Ok, yeah, Philly Cheesesteaks too.

Getting our car inspected. MSNBC (not Fox) on TV. Trump on talking about The Wall. Young woman got up and left. "I cannot watch that man". Old man said, "That Wall is the most absurd thing I ever heard of." "He ain't getting MY SS to pay for it". Wow, Toto, we aren't in Naples any more.

My guess purely from limited observation is that all these NYC and NJ people would turn this area Blue. I'm originally from NYC. As my Dad used to say, "You can take the boy out of NYC, but you cannot take NYC out of the boy".
