Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Jan 28 14:33:19 2015, in response to Re: All Transit Closing at 11 Tonight, posted by Elkeeper on Wed Jan 28 09:54:44 2015. I am concerned about the ripple effects of this that may go WAY beyond New York and into national politics:Wall Street is very much aligned with the Republican Party, which has has lot of members that are VERY backwards on a lot of things (especially what is known as the Tea Party). What Cuomo did in violating Rule #1 of politics is have Wall Street remember who did this and motivates them to "Double Down" to make sure the GOP stays in power of BOTH legislative branches in 2016. We won't see this for almost two years, but Wall Street has a VERY long memory and some Democrats that were hoping to help get control of the legislative branches back from the GOP now face a battle made more difficult by influential people who clearly are PO'ed at Cuomo for shutting down the subways and will use it against him where they can, in this case, "doubling down" on GOP candidates in states where they are vulnerable or the Democratic incumbent is. That's what I mean by Cuomo unleashing blowback and not PO'ing Wall Street is rule #1. |
