Keep New York for what ? He's a trojan horse Democrat. He destroyed what was left of the Massachusetts Republican party. That nuke cloud ain't a joke, it's what that Weld scum DID to Massachusetts and that college he destroyed in Kentucky.
I would rather have a RINO who caucuses with the Republicans, than a DINO that caucuses with the Dems.. At this point, more and more DINOs hearts will move them to the GOP on the issues that matter. RINOS will always disagree on a lot of issues, but they agree with us more than mainstream Democrats do!
also, keep in mind the political culture in New England is far more moderate. we can't expect a republican in Massachucets to tbe to the right of a democrat in alabama...
