In New York, the GOP is RINO to the core from DAmato on down.
DAmato is probably as conservative as New York Repubs ever got and the Dems took him out of the Senate for investigating the Clintons.
This “moderate” GOP businessman’s political appeal is that he is an outsider when compared to the insider Democrat political family Cuomo.
New York Republicans = Moderate Democrats anywhere else.
New York Democrats = Eurosocialists.
Conservative Party = Pseudoconservative extortionists who give endorsements to above two parties for jobs in the respective administration.
Working Families Party = Marxist Leninists who usually endorse Democrats, which tells you all you need to know about New York Democrats.
