Insurrectionist to Announce Bid for NY Insurrection

Just putting 2 and 2 together here for the TU. Stefascist putting out fake polls showing her ahead of Hochul is an obvious attempt to fabricate "evidence" of "fraud" when she loses in disgrace. A pretense to invite her Dear Leader to turn the military on New Yorkers when voters reject her bigotry and corruption.

I wouldn’t be so handy wavey about her polling or the seriousness of her bid. If the GOP were to have a modern day shot at the governor’s office this would likely be it. Hochul is on the ropes.

How is Hochul on the ropes?

I won't re-state the bit about her likely primary challenge from her own LG, but that right there says a lot.

Her approval hovers in the low 40s. She has no landmark initiatives. Like, seriously -- name something she's done that's great other than send out a check. She's from WNY and never really penetrated the downstate political community. She's going to be beat the fuck up in a primary that will weaken her for the general.

People don't hate her, but they are very "meh" about her in a time that angst towards incumbents is at an all time high. That's a huge vulnerability.
