Donald Trump Says There’s ‘No Hope’ for New York—Except Him



Donald Trump again pledged in a speech in Manhattan today to break with three decades of electoral history by winning New York State in November—and claimed the state has become a wasteland that only his presidency can save.

Accepting the nomination and ballot line of the New York State Conservative Party at its convention at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, the Queens-born billionaire maintained that he would be the first Republican nominee to carry the Empire State since President Ronald Reagan’s re-election run in 1984. Even with current polls putting Hillary Clinton some 20 points ahead, and even though she pulled more than twice as many votes in New York’s Democratic primary than Trump drew in the GOP one, he insisted he would ultimately win New Yorkers over with his agenda and his accent.

“I think we’re going to win New York. I think we’re going to do great in New York,” Trump said, mocking the Chicago-born, Westchester-residing Clinton’s bona fides. “Hillary—she’s not a New Yorker.”
