I would think so, yes, and I would expect most folks would.  However, with
all of the "RINO hunting" that MAGA Republicans get up to whenever a
Republican tries to compromise or moderate their stance, I see plenty of
evidence that no, that no longer works.

Ah-Ha.  I know who they are.  A lot of people who are of the mindset that

I was under the impression that a lot of people who have good jobs in NYC
commute in from outside the city.  I am also thinking that Adams has
started complaining about the migrant crisis and, although he hasn't
pointed a finger directly at Biden, that they may be retaliating against
him for even bringing it up.
