But with a caustic manner and a history of marital infidelity, Mr. Spencer may foil the party's drive for female voters and match up badly against Mrs. Clinton

Are they kidding?

With those traits, he is Mrs. Clinton!

From the article:

Mr. Spencer, who has been running since last spring, dismissed Ms. McFarland in an interview as "a liberal Manhattan Republican elitist" and said she was too late because he had won support from Republicans and the Conservative Party's executive committee.

No Republican will beat Hillary! this year. John Spencer will get the Conservative party's nod and is not leaving the race. The NYS RINO establishment hates John Spencer, but the party would better be served by one candidate who can focus their gaze on Hillary! than another internal party squabble.

John Spencer will be willing to drag Hillary! through the mud, exposing the true Clinton legacy. I doubt Ms. McFarland would.

Guess his role model is thrice-married Mayor Rudy who dumped his first wife when he met his second, then demanded his second wife move out so his mistress could move into Gracie mansion (/sarc).
