Donald Trump Needs Wendy Long to Replace Chuck Schumer
Now it is time for Trump, Pence and Long to campaign together and turn New York red.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump doesn't think big, he thinks HUGE.
Trump is not satisfied to be the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, even though his nomination is an incredible achievement.
Trump will not be satisfied to win the 2016 presidential election, even though that would be an even more incredible achievement.
Trump's goal is to make America great again and that requires Congressional support as well as his election.
It is essential that Republicans maintain control of the House of Representatives. If Nancy Pelosi, Queen of sanctuary city San Francisco, becomes Speaker of the House again, don't expect much in the way of legislation to make America great again.
In the Senate, Rerpublicans need operating control, not a mere majority. Since Rerpublicansd retook control of the Senate, Democrat Minority Leader Harry Reid has proven himself to be an effective obstructionist.
The good news is that Reid is retiring.
The bad news is that Reid is likely to be replaced by New York's senior senator, Chuck Schumer, UNLESS Wendy Long, the statewide running mate of the Trump/Pence team, beats Schumer.
In California, the state with the most electoral votes, the Senate race is hopeless. Retiring liberal Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer is certain to be replaced by another liberal Democrat. The last two candidates contesting to replace Boxer are both liberal Democrats.
Fortunately, the situation in New York is NOT hopeless.
Trump is a native New Yorker who will head the ticket. He is determined to win his home state, He will not be contributing to Schumer again, because he's determined to make America great again, Schumer is part of the problem and Long is part of the solution.
Long rejects "the Schumer-Obama-Clinton policy of viewing radical Islam through the lens of political correctness" as well as "their open borders policies, multiculturalism [and] military weakness [that] have brought us to the brink of a new front in this war opening on our own shores" and demands that we "stop blaming America and defend America and civilization itself."
A mother of two young childrern, Long enthusiastically endorsed Trump's call for vetting of immigrants from Muslim territories and Newt Gingrich's call for surveillance of mosques.
Like President Obama and presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Schumer will not even identify the enemy.
Like Trump, Long does: Islamist Jihadi terrorists.
Long: "More attacks by Islamist Jihadi terrorists will happen here if we don't change our leadership and stop the jihadists in Syria and Iraq, at our borders, and in our communities. We must identify and fight the real enemy before it's too late."
And: "[N]o one who supports Sharia law above the Constitution and laws of the United States should be allowed in this country. We need to kill the jihadists where they live and breed and train."
Long is 100% pro-Trump and has backed his incredible campaign from the start. She was a Trump precinct captain during there New York Republican presidential primary and a Trump delegate at the Republican Convention.
Long has the Senate nominations of the Republican, Conservative and Reform Parties.
Long also has the endorsements of two of Trump's most prominent supporters, television and radio stars Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
Most importantly, the New York Senate race is key this year and a Long victory will send a message across the nation that the American people will not tolerate Democrat obstructionism.
If Trump wins in New York but Long does not, then the public's verdict will be mixed. Trump will claim a mandate, but so will Schumer, and Schumer and New York's junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, will work diligently to thwart Trump's efforts to make America great again.
Ecclesiastes 3 states, "There is a time for everything."
Now it is time for Trump, Pence and Long to campaign together and turn New York red.
To achiever Trump's goal to make America great again, they must do that.
It will not be enough if on Election Day 2016 New York only turns purple, and it will be worse if New York remains blue,
Michael J. Gaynor has been practicing law in New York since 1973. A former partner at Fulton, Duncombe & Rowe and Gaynor & Bass, he is a solo practitioner admitted to practice in New York state and federal courts and an Association of the Bar of the City of New York member.
Gaynor graduated magna cum laude, with Honors in Social Science, from Hofstra University's New College, and received his J.D. degree from St. John's Law School, where he won the American Jurisprudence Award in Evidence and served as an editor of the Law Review and the St. Thomas More Institute for Legal Research. He wrote on the Pentagon Papers case for the Review and obscenity law for The Catholic Lawyer and edited the Law Review's commentary on significant developments in New York law.
The day after graduating, Gaynor joined the Fulton firm, where he focused on litigation and corporate law. In 1997 Gaynor and Emily Bass formed Gaynor & Bass and then conducted a general legal practice, emphasizing litigation, and represented corporations, individuals and a New York City labor union. Notably, Gaynor & Bass prevailed in the Second Circuit in a seminal copyright infringement case, Tasini v. New York Times, against newspaper and magazine publishers and Lexis-Nexis. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed, 7 to 2, holding that the copyrights of freelance writers had been infringed when their work was put online without permission or compensation.
Gaynor currently contributes regularly to www.MichNews.com, www.RenewAmerica.com, www.WebCommentary.com, www.PostChronicle.com and www.therealitycheck.org and has contributed to many other websites. He has written extensively on political and religious issues, notably the Terry Schiavo case, the Duke "no rape" case, ACORN and canon law, and appeared as a guest on television and radio. He was acknowledged in Until Proven Innocent, by Stuart Taylor and KC Johnson, and Culture of Corruption, by Michelle Malkin. He appeared on "Your World With Cavuto" to promote an eBay boycott that he initiated and "The World Over With Raymond Arroyo" (EWTN) to discuss the legal implications of the Schiavo case. On October 22, 2008, Gaynor was the first to report that The New York Times had killed an Obama/ACORN expose on which a Times reporter had been working with ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief.
