Like the rest of the country, the party went too far right and the GOP lost suburbia. Suburban voters used to carry states like NJ, IL, PA, NH, and even OR/WA and CA.

Once the suburban vote was lost, it was all over for the GOP in NY.

The GOP used to own Long Island, but not anymore. The typical democratic win was around 52-47% every year, but since 1992, forget about it.

Reagan only won here in 1980 because of Anderson. Ford lost here because Carter for whatever reason did well on Long Island. The GOP would always be in the upper 50s here to even 60% and Carter lost the island by just a few points.

The RINOs (like myself) that we need to win here are just about gone.
