Hillary, Steve. I am not enamored with her or love her as a candidate, but that kind of silly naivete is better left to the Trumplets who need a powerful daddy figure to revere. I think she's too political a creature to force an agenda, and she's pretty rational and intelligent. She would be capable of compromise, as her husband was. The massive GOP lie campaign against her is, IMO, just that.
Daddy figure? Sir, my father passed of cancer several years ago. He was a great man, a truly great man that served this country. So let's lay off the personal business but since you went there...reading your posts it's safe to say in person your the guy I wouldn't have to give my knuckles too. Your more of an open hand b**** slap kinda guy am I right? Exactly. And before you open your mouth again, I can assure you I'm no internet tough guy. Im a shop steward for a DSNY garage, a position that isn't just handed out to some candya**. Anytime your out East, feel free to contact me. Would love to "talk" lol, damn it would be a pleasure...

I was trying to be fair by mentioning the number of candidates Trump has had to compete with compared to Hillary, but apparently you don't care about the facts. Anyone can add up the numbers by state as of last Tuesday. It's not just my opinion.

Actually, I'm not quite sure what you're saying, to be perfectly honest! We don't know how many more would have voted for Trump if the other candidates had dropped out of the race earlier.
I was trying to be funny but looks like it didn't work. If you really want to be objective you have to have an algorithm that compensates for Trump having 16 other competitors. If you have such an algorithm I'd like to know.

Yes, polls this far away are pointless.

What is not pointless is the fact that NY state has 5.7 million registered Democrats, more than twice as many as the 2.7 registered Republicans.

Oh, dont worry about those pesky things called facts. Trump fans live in a dream world and they will tell you Trump will make up that 3 million voter difference by swaying them to vote for him because they all hate Hillary...

A lot of the NYS dems live in NYC and they elected and reelected republican mayors from 1994 to 2013.

And in 2006, they elected Hillary Clinton to a second term as Senator with 67% of the vote. Your point was what again?

My point is that it's pointless to make any assumptions as to which way NYS will go in the election.

Unless there is a recent poll result . . . . It won't be 100% accurate, but if the difference is stark, we can handicap the race.

Let me guess, you think Trump will be the one who turns a solid blue state like CA red too right? I mean, he's got the overwhelming support of liberals and minorities right? LOL
