Ha, ha, ha……
That is some funny shit….
The guy has left New York….
New York IS a Blue State….
Donald Trump ain’t gonna win the New York vote…..
“He’s not going to win here,” Darrell Spearman, 20, told the Daily News while relaxing in McCarren Park in Brooklyn. “He’s messed up too much by the way he’s handled things this year.”
A man having lunch in Bryant Park in Manhattan burst out laughing at Trump’s Tuesday comments that New York is up for grabs.
“People have opinions,” said Owen Siegel, 53, who lives on the Upper West Side. “And his is wrong.”
Earlier in the day, the president went on a rant about the upcoming debate against Democratic candidate Joe Biden….
…
“Upstate and on Long Island — I’m going to win in a landslide,” Trump boasted on Fox News. “It’s horrible, what they’ve done in New York. It’s rotten to the core.”
A poll released Oct. 2 by Siena College found Biden winning by 60 points in New York City, 20 points upstate and 14 points in downstate ‘burbs….
…
“He needs to leave New York out of his mouth,” said Williams, 47, who added that she’s worked as a nurse during the coronavirus outbreak.
Trump has come under heavy criticism for his erratic handling of the pandemic, which had claimed 23,944 lives in the city as of Monday, according to the Health Department.
“Yeah, he’s from here, but that doesn’t mean anything,” Williams said. “I have so many choice words I’d like to use right now, but I won’t do that. I hate even looking at that man.”
Trump’s latest remarks prompted loud laughter from 24-year-old Jonah Flint, then reflective silence as he seemed to try to find the right words.
“I don’t think anyone here has time for his s–t anymore,” he said.

Mitt Romney says he’s already voted and didn’t vote for Trump.He declined to say who he voted for.

I’ve never been visited by God
But televangelist Pat Robertson talks to him regularly.
God told Robertson that Trump will definitely win the election and then in five years an asteroid will hit Earth possibly bringing on the “end days.”

Well sending Trump packing shoukd put off the end of Days…

Although a Trump victory in the Empire State (last Republican winner: Ronald Reagan’84) is beyond absurd, you can see how Trump’s selective memory could reach for such a conclusion about Upstate and Long Island.
Nassau County (mid-western Long Island) voted for Clinton in 2016, but Suffolk County (eastern L.I.) went for Trump. Added together, it’s nearly a draw.
Four New York City boroughs — including Brooklyn (Kings County) and Queens on far western Long Island) went for Clinton, but Staten Island (Richmond County) went decisively for Trump (56% to 41%)
North of The Bronx, Westchester (White Plains) and Rockland Counties voted for HRC, but Orange and Putnam Counties voted for DJT, who just barely missed (by 0.3%) carrying Dutchess County (Poughkeepsie).
Erie (Buffalo), Monroe (Rochester) and Onondaga (Syracuse) supported Hillary, as did Albany and Schenectady counties, but Oneida (Utica) went heavily for the Donald, as did (narrowly) Rensselaer (Troy). Niagara County and Clinton County (Plattsburgh) both voted for Trump.
Most of the smaller, less urban Upstate counties voted (as might expect) for the New York City real-estate promoter, rather than their former U.S. Senator (who lost Clinton County).
But, overall, the idea of Trump having some home-state victory is absurd, since Clinton won the whole state 59% to 36.5%. Although it’s been a couple of years since I checked, I’m almost certain that Clinton won the Empire State beyond the Five Boroughs.
I may easily have made some errors above, so I welcome the corrections or additions of others (E.G., C.G.)

Trump probably saw the coverage of the car procession in support of him and cops that made the media in Nassu and another one in Manhattan….
There Are die hard Republicans on the island..,
But the 5 boro’s have about 18 Million people and they will overwhelmingly vote for Biden….

Self-correction: Clinton County (appropriately) voted Blue, although very narrowly, within a sea of Red.

“I’ll take Manhattan, The Bronx and Staten
Island, too. It’s nice going through the zoo.”

If you want more laughter Dick Morris thinks the Hunter Biden story will put Trump over the top. I remember when Morris told me at a Barnes and Noble that Joe Lieberman would be the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2004. I also recall him predicting Republicans winning a Senate seat in New Jersey.

Dick Morris is STILL around?
