The drama surrounding Donald Trump's potential campaign for governor appears headed for an extended run—at least until Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino makes a formal announcement about running.
Trump, appearing on an Albany radio station this morning, said he is “ready, willing and able” to run for governor but will not do so if Astorino or anybody else enters the race. Trump also ruled out taking his potential candidacy to the state GOP convention in the spring.
“I really want unity,” said Trump, who is scheduled to address a GOP fundraiser in Buffalo Friday. “I want to go in there right from the beginning and I want to go in swinging right from the beginning. I don’t want to be knocking Rob or knocking anybody else to win a primary.” …

LOL that’s about the size of it.
Don King I might consider.
This datapoint alone tells us to stay far away from the Donald
Someone needs to get rid of the thug in Albany. Please.
I’d rather see him than the bozo we have now
And Carl Paladino as his running mate
There may be other folks who would like to run....but I see no one better.
He believes in NY, is an astute businessman and owes no one.
Plenty of men/women have run unopposed for different positions. A waste of time and money...
I believe he's a winner if he runs for governor.
Paladino is a crazy man. Good grief!! Have you really listened to him??
Yada, yada. He never follows through.
and he wants no primary. He wants a coronation.
He switches party every 5 years or so. Isn’t it time for him to be a Democrat?
Can someone please send him back to the asylum.
Well, as a new yorker, I can’t say he’s worse than the current douchy doucherson.
egomaniac
Paladino is a personal friend of mine and is far from crazy- he is a brilliant and nice and generous man.
But how many have demanded a clear path to the nomination as a requirement for their running? He wants a primary but without an opponent, so why bother with a primary? The alternative would be a convention to nominate him, but he doesn't want a convention either. What's next? Eliminate the legislature so he doesn't have to deal with them voting down his agenda?
exactly
If Trump is your only alternative then God help the Empire State.
Will nobody rid me of this painted hair, reality television goofball?
Let him have it.
Can NY do any worse?
