I'm not a New York resident, but if he
00:00:01
wins, like any candidate that wins, to

00:00:05
an obligation to be as supportive as
00:00:07
possible and let them prove you wrong
00:00:09
and let their actions speak. You have to
00:00:11
open up to the possibility that maybe
00:00:13
your preconceived notions that they were
00:00:14
a terrible person cuz you get so caught
00:00:16
up in the emotion of politics. Give them
00:00:18
the benefit of the doubt and rally
00:00:20
behind them for a certain amount of time
00:00:22
and let them have their honeymoon. And
00:00:23
by the way, I'm saying this as if it's a
00:00:25
foregone conclusion.
00:00:26
I think he's definitely going to win.
00:00:27
And well, let's just wait and see what
00:00:28
he does. He has a lot of good ideas.

Some are as good, some are good. Let's

00:00:34
thing. You just watch him going around
00:00:36
New York everywhere he goes. He's

created excitement around himself.

I think he's fantastic campaigner and I

can't wait for food sponsored food lines
00:00:43
called subsidized grocery stores.
00:00:45
Oh, stop it. You know what? Literally,
00:00:47
the rich people have their own version
00:00:49
of welfare every single [ __ ] day of
00:00:51
the week.
