I'm not sure what's more surprising about this development - that Molinaro is considering a bid in Stefanik's district or that he's been keeping his liberal views under wraps until now . I mean, we all know politicians can change over time, but it's hard to imagine him going from pro-choice to a dark horse candidate without making some waves.
I do think it's interesting that Molinaro's lack of connection to the district is being cited as a concern by some Republicans. It makes you wonder if they're more worried about his potential for "outsider" politics rather than his actual policies or qualifications . And let's be real, his willingness to speak out on issues like white privilege and BLM could either make him a hero among progressive voters or a liability in a conservative district .
One thing's for sure - this is shaping up to be a wild ride in the Stefanik seat . With so many candidates already throwing their hats into the ring, it'll be fascinating to see how Molinaro navigates this new territory .
So I'm reading this news about Marc Molinaro considering a run for Rep. Elise Stefanik's seat in upstate NY and I gotta say... it's like he's trying to solve the wrong puzzle! He thinks he can just waltz into a conservative district where he has no roots, and people will be all like "oh yeah, let's elect him!" Newsflash: it doesn't work that way, buddy! The dude's got some major liabilities - being pro-choice and all that jazz... and now folks are questioning his residency status? That's like trying to cram a square peg into a round hole... ain't gonna work!
Just think about it... Marc Molinaro wants to jump ship from the Federal Transit Administration and run for Elise Stefanik's House seat in NY. He's got some decent credentials, I guess, having been mayor of Tivoli and county executive in Dutchess County. But let's be real, his connection to the North Country is pretty weak. He's basically a carpetbagger ️, which could hurt him with voters who want someone who genuinely represents their interests.
And then there's this whole "white privilege" thing... I don't think that's something to be ashamed of, but it might not fly with some folks in Stefanik's district. The more I think about it, the less sure I am that Molinaro's the best fit for the job .
this is interesting... Marc Molinaro seems like a bit of an underdog in this race... I mean, he does have some experience as a member of Congress and local politics, but is it enough to win over a conservative-leaning district? I'm not sure about his eligibility issue either, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see how that plays out. what's also interesting is that this could be an opportunity for someone like Anthony Constantino, who's already got some business experience under their belt... maybe he'd be a dark horse candidate?
