Re: Crowley Loses

I'm not be extremely politically correct though.

All of these are major factors in his loss:

- The district voted 41% for Sanders in the 2016 primary, and this year is a more left-wing electorate because there is no race for governor, senator, or mayor to bring slightly less dedicated Democrats out.

- Crowley is very establishment. He runs the Queens Democratic organization. He is a close crony of Pelosi.

- He is middle aged.

- He is a white male.

- His opponent is a Latina in a district that is heavily Spanish-speaking.

- He sent a Latina aide to his debate with his opponent, instead of coming to the debate himself.

- The NY Times ran an editorial chiding him for his arrogance and complacency. If there's ever a time when the NYT editorial board has major influence, it's in a Democratic primary in NYC where there is no race for mayor, governor, senator, or president.
