That was expected. Despite actually trying really hard she ends doing no better that the absurdly named Zephyr Teachout did 4 years ago. She was a disaster as a candidate, she’s better actress, that’s how bad she was!! Progtards are sad.

Nixon’s LT running mate, a “Charismatic” Black progtard from NYC lost to the incumbent by a much narrower margin, that’s good news I’d say, we don’t need that sort being successful.

Teachout lost the AG primary to the establishment choice. Congressman Maloney came in a poor third. A shame he was allowed to run for both AG and Congress.

One hopes Nixon does the right thing and stays on the Ballot as the Working Families nominee.

I would be shocked if Nixon didn’t stay on the ballot as the Working Families nominee. Why would she do Cuomo any favors by moving out of state or accepting a different nomination, which is what would be required for her to be taken off the ballot? But, unfortunately, having her name on the ballot may not be enough to peel off enough votes from Cuomo to give the election to GOP nominee Marc Molinaro; we need for Nixon to campaign and to keep attacking Cuomo.

In the RAT AG race, I don’t think that Letitia James could have defeated the absurdly named Zephyr Teachout had Congressman Sean Maloney not run. James won by a big margin in metro NYC, but was a non-factor Upstate, and Teachout would have racked up much higher vote margins Upstate without Maloney getting like 40% of the Upstate vote. If a “fag hag” is a heterosexual woman who does favors for homosexual men, what’s the term for the opposite, a homosexual man who helps out a straight woman? Maybe they should be called “Maloneys.”

In the Democrat state senate primaries, a bunch of moonbats unseated Democrat incumbents that previously had entered into a power-sharing arrangement with Republican senators. I think that only one of those wins could help the GOP pick up a senate seat: Rachel May’s upset victory over moderate Democrat Dave Valesky. https://cnycentral.com/news/local/in-stunning-upset-rachel-may-defeats-dave-valesky-in-state-senate-democratic-primary Valesky represents the GOP-leaning 53rd district in Madison County and parts of Oneida and Onondaga (including the eastern part of Syracuse). https://www.nysenate.gov/district/53 Economist and former Syracuse GOP chairman Janet Burman is the GOP and Conservative Party nominee, and if she can raise some money and campaign hard she can win this election. May is far too liberal for the district and, even more importantly, Valesky remains on the ballot as the nominee of the Independence Party. It would be sweet revenge for Republicans, given that Valesky was first elected with a narrow plurality over a GOP incumbent in 2004 because the Conservative Party nominee (who had lost the GOP primary) got 11% of the vote in the general.

There are two other NY state senate districts that are eminently winnable for the GOP, both in Long Island:

SD-08 (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), represented by freshman RAT John Brooks, who “won” by 257 votes after GOP incumbent Michael Venditto faced bad publicity from his father’s arrest for corruption.

SD-09 (Nassau County), represented by freshman RAT Todd Kaminsky, who narrowly “won” an April 2016 special election following GOP leader Dean Skelos’s expulsion from the senate after his federal conviction for corruption, and who won the regular general that November by 5%.

Currently, there are 31 Republicans, 1 Democrat that caucuses with the GOP (the conservative Simcha Felder, from the heavily Orthodox Jewish state senate district in Brooklyn) and 31 Democrats in the NY state senate. If the GOP can pick up one or more of the three winnable state senate seats, it would ward against the possible loss of control of the state senate due to losses in seats in which the GOP incumbent retired.
