New York … Purple?

Last week Donald Trump said that there was an outside chance that he could win in New York State during next November’s election. Even though I like Trump, I shrugged this off as merely wishful thinking by DJT. 

However I then read the following from the Epoch Times:

“5 NY Democrat Politicians Urge State Elections Board to Bar Trump From 2024 Ballot”

“State senators Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan) and Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) are among the five New York Democrat politicians who want the bi-partisan New York State Board of Elections (NYSBOE) to exclude former President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential primary and general election ballot.

Other politicians who signed the letter included New York state Sens. Timothy M. Kennedy (D-Buffalo), Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx), and Shelly B. Mayer (D-Mamoroneck).

Even though I just said DJT has little, if no, chance to win New York, I have to wonder why these NY Dems are trying to keep Trump off of the ballot. Could it be that they actually fear that Trump could indeed win in New York? If they thought that DJT had no chance, why would they go through all of the hoopla to keep him off the ballot?

At present perhaps they feel uneasy because of the surge of Biden’s illegals that have overrun their state and especially New York City. This, in addition to Biden’s inflation, cannot make these NY Dems feel comfortable. If Biden were to falter somewhat in New York City this could affect their re-election chances, and the best way to avoid this is to keep DJT off the ballot.

Hmmm! I wonder!
