I'll let you in on a little secret, the Republican party didn't want Trump and doesn't like him. A lot of conservative voters do, mainly because they don't see him as a tool of the party (which he very much isn't), but that's a separate tissue.

Malliatakis has nothing to do with Trump. In point of fact, Republicans in NY, and NYC in particular, have little to do with Republicans in the rest of the country. So saying you won't vote for a local Republican because they're a "Trump puppet" is asinine.

I thought that things in NYC would have gone downhill drastically by now two years ago under de blasio. However, I am pleasantly surprised that everything is moving along fine if not better than the Bloomberg era in NYC. I think that de blasio will have a good shot of another 4 years in office.

If that were true he’d be impeached by now.

At the end of the day most of the republicans on the hill agree with trump’s brand of hate and divisiness. Either that or they’re a bunch of complicit cowards.

Except that DeBlasio is making financial commitments that will impact us in the future, long after he is gone. He is using NYC budget, pension funds, and new debt to fund his pet projects/buy votes. With Bloomberg, he was leveraging commercial $$ with public funds and put us in budget surplus territory. DeBlasio is using those budget surpluses and then some, riding on the real estate taxes from Bloomberg-era luxury condo constructions, since those 15 year property tax abatements are starting to expire under his watch.

Housing homeless in commercial hotels is a huge strain on the budget, so is using pension fund money to build affordable housing, so is making deals with the unions without even negotiating and giving them everything they want. Killing some giant redevelopments that were started under Bloomberg (LIH site in Brooklyn, site near Citi Field in Queens), etc. These and other policies will effect us down the line, mark my words.

Remember what I said about conservative voters supporting Trump. The Republican establishment know that their voters support him, and if they tried to get rid of him, they'd lose their voter base.

Remember that he DID get elected President, no matter how much the looney left in this country doesn't want to accept that fact.

I'm voting for the pedophile tertrachy of Harvey Weinstien, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby. bill Clinton gets a special honor in that coalition.

Not a fan of DeBlasio, but Malliotakis is a joke. A Trump bootlicker as mayor would spell disaster for New York City
