Crazy stuff. from New York GOPer’s….
Run, George, run!
An effort is underway to draft former three-term Republican Gov. George Pataki to run again for the state’s top office.
The new Web site bringbackpataki.com urges New Yorkers to sign a petition to express their support for the move.
“Unite behind the fight to save our state, and join us to Bring Back Pataki,” the site says. “He has saved our State before, let’s elect him to do it again. Our best days are ahead for New York State!”
The draft-Pataki movement is being pushed by his former political director, Rob Cole.
“We have to find someone who can win in November. We certainly can’t win with Lee Zeldin,” Cole said, referring to Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is expected to be nominated at the state Republican Party convention next week.
Pataki was governor of New York from 1995-2006 after defeating three-term liberal Democratic incumbent Mario Cuomo, the father of disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Pataki led the state’s recovery following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack, approved income-tax cuts and championed a law to open charter schools….

The much ballyhooed here investigation of Trump in New York is apparently on the verge of collapse.
The two prosecutors leading the inquiry have resigned and the Manhattan district attorney,Alvin Bragg,Reportedly has expressed doubts as to the validity of the case.
Finally the Grand Jury which was impaneled in Sept. to hear the evidence is scheduled to expire in April.
I have previously expressed skepticism about the Georgia voting case involvingTrump I now see that this case ,which has been copiously reported on here , appears to be going nowhere.

Alvin Bragg has been a complete mess since he won the DA’s job….
He has embraced a ‘cut/let’m loose Bruce’ policy with arrest’s in the Borough of Manhattan….
He has been under constant criticism from the local media and the cops…
I too have felt that Bragg would be incapable of doing anything with Cy Vance Jr ‘s Trump grand jury……
I have said repeatedly….
The real fucked thing is Trump is a ex-President and we don’t lock them up in this country….
