Battle of The Political Titans For Bronx County

By Former NYC Councilman Rev. Ruben Diaz

You should know that, in the County of the Bronx, the county of Salsarengue (Translation Salsa & Merengue combined) there is a "war" among Political Titans, to determine who will be the next “Capo de Tutti Capi", the Chief of all Chiefs, in the Bronx’s Political Power.

 

Next Tuesday, August 23, when the Democratic Primaries are held, the election results will determine who the new Political Chiefs in Bronx County will be.

 

It is important for you to know that Senator Jamaal Bailey, Chairman of the Bronx Democratic Party, and the leadership of the Democratic Party have joined forces with Congressmen Adriano Espaillat and Richie Torres to replace Puerto Rican Senator Gustavo Rivera with Ms. Miguelina Camilo of Dominican descent.

 

On the other hand, Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio Cortes has placed all her resources, Reputation and Prestige in support of Senator Gustavo Rivera in opposition to the Bronx Political Machine.

 

It is important that you know that Puerto Rican Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortes has become the most influential Hispanic figure Nationally. "AOC", as she is called, has become so influential among the Progressive Wing of the Democratic Party that her name is circulating as a likely candidate for the Presidency of the United States in the not-too-distant future.

 

A victory for Senator Gustavo Rivera next Tuesday, August 28, would certify and seal the political power of AOC, here in Bronx County and Nationally.  AOC and Gustavo Rivera would become the absolute leaders of the County and even Adriano Espaillat, Richie Torres, and Jamaal Bailey would have their days numbered as Elected Officials.

 

My dear readers, if Senator Jaamal Bailey, and Congressmen Adriano Espaillat and Richie Torres, manage to unseat Gustavo Rivera and defeat AOC and her followers, the entire political future of Congresswoman AOC could suffer a Political Cataclysm. This would increase the political strength, influence, and power of Congressman Adriano Espaillat here in the Bronx.

 

You should also know that Bronx County leaders in the past created affordable housing, opportunities, and entitlement programs for Bronx residents.  In contrast, the residents of Washington Heights, in upper Manhattan, have been losing affordable housing and other benefits.   As a result, many Dominican Residents have fled and relocated to the Bronx. Washington Heights has experienced a loss in the Dominican population and political strength. In turn, this has caused the Bronx to become a Dominican stronghold.

 

Congressman Adriano Espaillat, being wise, cunning, and astute, has seen that the Dominican Hispanic force is now in the Bronx, therefore he has been moving his political cannons, and operations to the Bronx.  A win by Miguelina Camilo would seal Espaillat's leadership in the Bronx.

 

The battle among these Political Titans for the Bronx has us waiting to see who or whom will be the new "Capo de Tutti Capi" in Bronx Politics.    On Tuesday, August 28, we will know!!!!!
