New York GOP has been destroyed by Trump and wont come back until we have flying cars: party insidersNOOR AL-SIBAI 23 NOV 2018 AT 17:31 ET
New York Republicans have acknowledged that the states party is all but dead after Democrats swept the midterms.
In an interview the New York Times, longtime GOP consultant Gerry OBrien who recently changed his party affiliation to independent admitted as much.
Someday the Republican Party might come back, the Brooklyn-based OBrien said. But, of course, someday well also have flying cars and personal jet packs.
The report noted that consultants on both sides of the aisle admitted Trump, the states most famous Republican, has made winning over independents difficult for the party.
His brand of sleaze has totally turned off anybody who ever might even consider voting for Republican, OBrien said.

The red states can have him and his entire woe-begotten menagerie of miscreants, ne'er-do-wells, liars and thieves.
