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

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

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
