Zeldin's principal qualification for the spot? He ran in a solid blue state and almost became governor. Cuomo won by 23 points in 2018. Hochul beat Zeldin by 6%.

One of his primary opponents, Rob Astorino, lost to Cuomo in 2014 by 14%. Astorino was the Westchester county exec before running. As such, Astorino had the Westchester county Republican machine working for him. Whereas Zeldin built his political operation from scratch, starting early, sometime in 2021.

Zeldin came within a razor's edge of becoming governor based on very little money. His campaign and PAC dollars came to less than half the $70m spent on Blake Masters's abortive election effort. And Masters ran in a purple, not blue state.

Not that massive Ballot Tampering/Manipulation along with Voter Fraud could be considered to be a factor.

Nah.

With all the fraud going on, the GOP might want to invoke this strategy...

He’s 100x more qualified than Ronna. Is he the best option? I don’t know yet.

It’s silly to call everyone a RINO.

No way. That would be election denial and anti-Democracy and racist and being in favor of voter suppression. No one here supports such a preposterous idea. NO ONE.

Sounds good to me too. I was impressed by the way he really plugged along no matter the odds. He did well and I think that sort of quiet determination - with a plan - is what the RNC needs.

Especially just based on being a New Yorker. Haven't heard anyone call Trump a RINO because of his hometown.

There may be others with great credentials, but Zeldin is serious good guy with sterling credentials and he’s the right religion to get in with the big money gangsters.

Could be watershed moment for RNC, although after everything Trump did for Israel and still gets spit on by all the Jewish orgs / Hollywood clowns it might not mean a lot.

Let Trumpy Bear decide

MOT’s donated big time to the GOP and continue to do so. The guy behind Tripp Lite basically handed over the company’s shares to fund GOP causes. If not for the pandemic lockdowns in Macau and the resultant crash in Las Vegas Sands shares, Miriam Adelson, Shelly’s widow, would likely be contributing significant amounts.

But if you think Zeldin being an MOT is gonna inspire left-wing Jews to donate to the GOP, I have one word for you. Fuhgeddaboudit. This is about ideology, not religion.

Zeldin’s backers are Anti-Trump elements.
