Trump’s New York Strategy: An Update
Carl Paladino, the version of Donald Trump sold in Western New York’s shabbiest dollar stores, has some thoughts about Khizr Khan, and decided to express them in public:
“All right, I don’t care if he’s a Gold Star parent,” he continued. “He certainly doesn’t deserve that title, OK, if he’s as anti-American as he’s illustrated in his speeches and in his discussion. I mean, if he’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or supporting, you know, the ISIS-type of attitude against America, there’s no reason for Donald Trump to have to honor this man.”
Paladino, who made a failed bid for governor of New York in 2010, went on to say that he does not feel that Trump should change his rhetoric in any way and that no one can be sure that President Obama is not a Muslim.
And since the nation’s most prominent social scientican has already observed that Trump will win New York, you have to figure that this will increase the margins:
Trump might have won New York with this anti-heckle. https://t.co/vHUzCTrRpT

Don’t worry, I won’t offer him the keys to this blog as a bet. Even the .00000000001% chance that Trump could carry New York is too much.
