New York Democrats are bracing for stunning Election Day losses, and they already have a fall guy
CNN ^ | 11/04/2022 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

Democratic officials and strategists in New York tell CNN they are bracing for what could be stunning losses in the governor’s race and in contests for as many as four US House seats largely in the suburbs.

With crime dominating the headlines and the airwaves, multiple Democrats watching these races closely are pointing to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, accusing him of overhyping the issue and playing into right-wing narratives in ways that may have helped set the party up for disaster on Tuesday.

“He was an essential validator in the city to make their attacks seem more legit and less partisan,” said one Democratic operative working on campaigns in New York, who asked not to be named so as not to compromise current clients.

Adam’s got elected to solve crime and safety issues. He instead hired a custom tailor and interior decorator. He thought he could play both sides. He pleased nobody.

Hard to be worse than DeBlasio, but he managed to do it. The guy is a nutcase.

The democrats always blacks for their whipping boys - look no further than Kareem Jean Pierre. I can just see all the executive whites in the White House pointing at her in uproarious laughter - and she doesn’t even know it

So let me get this straight...

Deep State rams RCV down NYC voters’ throats to get their stooge, Adams, elected, but it’s his fault that Deep State’s plans have gone into the crapper...

Uh huh.

That’s just so bass ackwards!

If they had shown concern and stopped the Woke bail laws and defund the police, there would have been NO CRIME problem to cause their losses next week.

democrats! You GAVE the GOP crime to run on...

Any democrat state party is an organization suffering from a pandemic of Chronic Rectal Cranial Inversion, but they feel the need to find a specific person to blame when the voters finally have enough of the nonsense and swing the pendulum the other way.

Trying to blame the problems on one person is just another symptom of CRCI.

Adams does like his fancy suits, hobnobbing with celebrities and night life. He likes to use big words to make himself sound smart. He’s a good scape goat for Dems.

Adams was always a racial grifter all the way back when he was a NYPD cop. Sharpton clone with a badge.

Yeah, if Adams hadn’t mentioned it no one would have noticed the murder and mayhem.

You wouldn’t think it possible but these Dims are just getting dumber and dumber.

This article is actually very strange—and I am surprised Freepers have not noticed it so far.

This is a long artice, but here is the relevant money quote:

https://www.gothamgazette.com/state/11600-issues-2022-election-new-york-governor-candidates-stand

“Crime may have become somewhat less top-of-mind for voters, with 12.4% of Republicans, 5.6% of Democrats, and 5.7% of independents saying it was the most important issue to them when deciding who to vote for in November.”

So—crime is not that big a deal.

I wonder what voters are all upset about.....

Hmmm....

Here we go....

“87% said that inflation has had some impact on their spending habits.”
