Actually, most people are amused at those in the gossip columns. Why would anyone be envious of people who need to live their personal lives in front of cameras and reporters? New Yorkers are fairly jaded and used to seeing celebs walking around so are probably not as impressed by their antics as others.

In any event, the Clintons are popular among their neighbors. Trump is not, which I assume is one of the reason he isolates himself and his family in modern day castles with moats.

There are many reasons New Yorkers dislike Trump--many. He will not win there.

"...Trump left his mark all over New York. Some in the city would like to erase it...."

"...To New Yorkers questioning whether actual life exists beyond the city’s borders, Trump’s foray into national politics is evidence not of his power, but of his irrelevance in the only town that matters...."

"...Here is where Trump became “The Donald,” a headline-spewing smokestack, his narrative defined by roaring political feuds (Koch once referred to him as “greedy, greedy, greedy”); spectacular scandal (“Best Sex I’ve Ever Had,” crowed his mistress in a New York Post headline); and fierce opposition from civic groups appalled by his skyline-altering projects (“Trump Tower,” for example, not to be confused with “Trump World Tower,” not to be confused with “Trump International Hotel and Tower”)..."

I might go protest, I figure I could get dinner at the Chipotle across from the coliseum and then give Trump's SUV the middle finger as he drives by. I have family a few blocks away and I could then go watch him implode in the debate.

I think it's a good plan for Monday night

And which states is he going to win in order to get to 270 electoral votes?

What is it that makes you think residents of the Tri-State area 'knowing' Donald Trump goes in his 'plus' column.?

I spent the first 59 years of my life in the Tri-State area, leaving in 2009, and what I know of Donny from that long exposure was that I believe him to be a self-promoting, self-aggrandizing, egotistical, narcissistic jackass, nothing more. Many from the area share that opinion.

Oh I'm very disappointed. I thought you were going to proclaim it debunked as you are often so wont to do.

Can't debunk it can you?
