[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I'm gonna make a presidential prediction here.

Trump is gonna carry NYS in November.

Like trump or not, he's a vicious attack dog! He really hits his opponents, hard. I believe Hitlary is a wounded chicken and Trump is smelling the blood

Let's hope your correct.

The math doesn't add up, when it comes to registered voters. This state is gone.

I would love to place a significant bet against that, OP.

I mean $10,000 or more. Would you be interested? And yes, I'm serious.

I guess that depends on how he plays it. Alot of people I work with who were never political are on the trump train, he could get the momentum rolling. I hope he does but I would still like to see him start hitting Hillary.

Most people i work with are fairly right wing, I'm Libertarian-Republican, and just about everybody here hates trump.

No sir, not even close. Hillary got more votes in the D primary than all GOP candidates combined. Siena just game out with a poll that has Clinton around 55 percent and Trump around 34 percent.

Do you not understand that there are 8 Million people packed into the 5 boros of NYC that would never pull the lever for anyone with an "R" next to their name?

And that is before the media blitz this fall that will hammer home that trump is "anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-muslim" etc. etc. etc.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell NY will ever be anything other than blue

A janitor at my workplace, a Puerto Rican registered Democrat who voted twice for Obama now talks how he wants to vote Trump. The guy actually went to the primaries thinking he can vote for Trump. He was utterly disappointed when he was handed a D ballot. So instead of voting, he switched his affiliation to a Republican. So here you go, anything is possible.

If you have felonies on your record, Dems only hand you 5 ballots instead of 10.

I don't see him carrying New York State but there is another scenario shaping up which could make for an interesting situation come November: Neither Hillary OR Trump get the requisite 270 Electoral votes. That then throws the election to the House of Representatives, but the newly elected House, not the current House. I think that still guarantees the next president will be "R" but it would definitely get interesting. The Twelfth Amendment makes for some interesting reading.

That was 32 years ago

I helped New York carry Reagan but New York was a lot less blue black then.

The only incentives I have for Trump to win is that I dislike Hillary and if Trump were President, I would be two-degrees of separation away from a sitting President.

I should have qualified my statement.

The people we know in our circles, yes.

The vast majority of the masses.... nope. Freebees. At times we don't realize just how outnumbered we really are.
