  • NY Gubernatorial Election

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Sat Dec 20 07:49:20 2025
    Yesterday I read that USA Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is dropping out of NY's 2026 gubernatorial race.

    This comes a couple weeks after I communicated with the NY GOP about "When's the primary?"

    So now we've only got 1 person in the whole state running on the GOP ticket. It's Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who seems like a great guy, but
    he's old and soft-spoken. Can old and soft spoken defeat a snake/rat/lizard mutant?

    But the NYGOP gave me a date for the primary and I'm gonna hold them to it. We can't have only 1 person in the whole state who wants to save it.

    You know this guy... Have a listen.

    Elise is stepping down because there is noway she can win NY in a General, too conservative. The other guy you are talking about has a chance to win the seat.

    Elise is not even going to run for Congress in the fall.

    I think they have plans for her, she is a great solder.

    I have to admit that I can't copy/paste links from the BBS because of the web-only connection.

    General, too conservative. The other guy you are talking about has a chance to win the seat.

    The big problem that I see here in NY is that Kathy Hochul has enticed black voters with the hopes of receiving racial reparations, and there's no reason for us to expect NY's black voters to do what's right. The only way this guy can pull it off is if he promises the same thing, and I don't think he'll do that.
