Sounds like a good encounter, but every time I talk to a politician the first thing they ask is where I live. It is like they are doing the math on whether I will be able to vote for them. If I answer that I am not in their voting area they quickly loose interest in me and move on.

Ha well it was just the two of us on the platform...he had nowhere else to go except to talk to this gun nut. Haha.
No but he seemed genuinely nice. I think he asked where I lived because we were getting on the same train. |

Did he hint toward any future political aspirations?

I met him once and gave him one of my Cuomo urinal targets. He laughed. Seemed like a good dude.

Man I had high hopes for that campaign. SAFE Act aside I think he would have drastically improved the long term economic outlook of NY. If only.

He owns a Glock 17. Good guy. It’s a shame state and national Republicans turned their backs on him.

I really liked him but his campaign was ran like shit. Maybe if he decides to run again he get a better campaign manager and pull it off.

If you ask me, he needed the backing of the teachers unions. The timing was right with the "common core" crap. If the teachers backed him, I believe he would have ousted cuomo the clown.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't get me started... If you want to lose your shit try reading the literature NYSUT puts out. The rank and file teachers talk a good game but the teachers union is in the tank for the state democrats hook line and sinker. |

I think Astorino lost because Cuomo had it out for him big time...and made sure to put the Constitutional Convention on the ballot and made sure to spread the rumor to the unions that it would cost them their pensions if it passed...
How better to motivate thousands of democrats to vote? Scare them with pension rumors. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sure was. It was on the back of every ballot along with 2 other initiatives...it pretty much guaranteed a loss for Astorino. For ballot initiatives on the 2014 ballot: https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_2014_ballot_measures |
