You should know that in Bronx County, political speculators in the Bronx are asking how is it that in a Democrat Bastion, like the Bronx, former Governor Andrew Cuomo received 260,556 votes in 2018 and now in 2022, just 4 years later, Kathy Hocul, only received a mere 155,564?
Speculators wonder why the Republican Party barely got 9% of the vote back in 2018 and now in 2022 the Republicans acquired more than 30% of the votes. How is that possible? We all know that the Bronx is a Bastion, a stronghold, for the Democrat Party. Can it be that the Bronx also has two tales, one for Cuomo and one for Hochul?
It is important for you to know that the questions being mulled over by the Bronx Political Speculators are the following......
1st Question: Could it be that Governor Andrew Cuomo was after all an outstanding Governor who dedicated a lot of resources, time, and attention to the Bronx (aka the County of Salsa-Rengue) and therefore the voters rewarded him with more than double the number of votes (260,555) in 2018?
2nd Question: Or could it be that the Democratic Party in the Bronx and its current leadership Lack Dedication, Political Organization, Political Will, and Political Astuteness, when compared to the Democrat Leadership that existed in 2018 when Rubén Diaz Jr. served as The Bronx Borough President and Assemblyman Marcos Crespo was the Bronx County Chairman for the Democrat Party?
3rd Question: Or could it be that Governor Kathy Hochul, due to her extremely unpopular Policies which favor Criminals, and her radical Abortion policies, opened the eyes of many Bronx Democrats? As a result of this rude awakening Bronx Democrat voters abstained from voting for the Democrats as a sign of their repudiation. Did Democrat voters want to send a message to the present Bronx Democrat Leadership? Is this why Hocul, despite winning the election, with a mere 155,564 votes in the Bronx, had a poor showing when compared to Andrew Cuomo’s votes?
4th Question: Or could it be that Lee Zeldin's political astuteness in accepting Rev. Rubén Diaz’s invitations to visit the Bronx made an impact? Zeldin did visit the Bronx many times, during the campaign. Could it be that his presence in the Bronx caused many Democrats to cross the party line?
5th Question: And lastly, could it be that my get out the vote efforts had some impact among the Bronx voters? I reached out to the Hispanic Ministers, the Churches, the Dominican, Puerto Rican, and the diverse communities and Community Leaders and campaigned asking that they reject the Democrat Policies that are hurting our communities. I joined the many voices in the Bronx that rejected the current radical Policies of the Democrat Party. Could this be the cause of this poor showing for Democrats in the Bronx?
My dear readers, we have no way of knowing what caused this decrease in votes for Democrats, or the reasons why it seems there are two Bronx Political tales one for Andrew Cuomo and one for Kathy Hocul.
Whatever, the cause may be, in 2018 Mark Molinaro and the Republicans in the Bronx got a mere 9% of the vote, and this time, just a few years later, in 2022 Lee Zeldin and the Republicans got more than 30% of the votes. This my dear friend is not only tremendous, but quite impressive!
Was it Cuomo’s popularity? Is it fault of The Democrat Party and its Poor Leadership now in play? Was it Zeldin’s constant visits to the Bronx? Was it my active outreach and getting out the vote strategies? Or was it that the voters simply have had enough with the Democrats?
We don’t know. But what I do know is this. It was very important for us to change the political paradigm in the Bronx. We needed a change in the political status quo. It is important that we change our way of thinking when it comes to voting and move from the Democrats practice of taking our votes for granted.
We needed to move from the Democrats and move to the Republicans. These election results showed us that whatever the reason, for this poor showing for the Democrats, we made an impact. We achieved more than we expected given that we are in the Bronx a Democrat stronghold.
You should know that in Political Circles, with numbers like these, we say that the "Loser has won, and the winner is the loser." The Proof is In the Pudding.
I am Reverend Ruben Diaz and this is What You Should Know.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
My dear readers, how much was Reverend Ruben Diaz paid for his services to Lee Zeldin, and any other Republican candidate?
Was Democratic State Senator Ruben Diaz in 2014 involved in Republican politics? Was Ruben Diaz not standing on East 149th Street urging people of the Bronx to vote for Republican candidate for Governor Rob Astorino against Democrat Andrew Cuomo? How much was Ruben Diaz paid for his services to Republican Rob Astorino in the race for governor against Andrew Cuomo?
Finally, was it not Ruben Diaz who brought then New York State Republican Party Chair Ed Cox to the South Bronx to give out Christmas presents to the children in the same scholl his son Ruben Diaz Jr. attended? We will bring up the photos from the archive in a future story with an even bigger surprise in it.
