Republicans have not been competitive in New York for quite some time. In 2004, only three years after 9/11, eventual loser John Kerry beat George W. Bush by 18 points. In his two terms, Barack Obama easily eclipsed 60 percent of the vote, notably pounding Mitt Romney in the Empire State by over 30 points. In any election, New York represents a reliable 29 electoral votes for Democrats.
Well, in any other election. Enter Trump:
Confidential polling data shows Hillary Clinton could lose the presidential election in heavily Democratic New York to Donald Trump as the GOP front-runner’s support grows to the point of being “surprisingly strong,” The Post has learned.
The poll results, from Democratic and Republican legislative races, have surprised many leading Dems, virtually all of whom have endorsed Clinton, while confounding and energizing GOP leaders, many of whom until recently have been opposed to Trump.
“There are some Democrats who think that Hillary can be taken if Trump mounts a strong campaign,’’ one of the state’s most prominent Democrats said.

Hillary was a disappointment as NY's senator. No authored legislation, only eight years spent feathering her nest and preparing for a presidential run (or two).
Trump needs to get dirty with the republican establishment and Clinton.
7:49 - that is only a part of the story....
As secretary of State, she actually got four of our statesman and heroes KILLED due to her incompetence, risked National Security with her personal e-mail, all while fostering the downfall of our nation's reputation at the hands of our entitlist-beloved POSOTUS!
During previous and more illustrious periods of this nation's history, any one of these would have had her ostracized, embarrassed, and shunned to the point of obscurity!
The government-forced education, the laziness of our citizens and the descent of the people's quality being diluted, have gotten us to the brink of extinction as a society!
We really have one last chance to take our country back from it's current death-spiral - it will require some in power to grow a spine - and charge the Hildabeast with the crimes we already have sufficient evidence for conviction - and a sufficient number of people to elect someone with a conservative stance willing to LEAD this country back to the greatness we once had!
