The swamp creatures are already working overtime to sabotage conservative candidates, folks. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the lone Republican warrior brave enough to challenge New York's radical Democrat establishment for governor, just suffered his first casualty when Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino rejected the offer to serve as his running mate.
Why did Giardino back down? The official excuse is that he couldn't handle the "24/7 campaign commitment" required to take on the entrenched leftist machine that's been destroying the Empire State for years. But patriots know there's always more to the story when good conservatives suddenly get cold feet.
Blakeman now finds himself flying solo as the only Republican willing to step into the ring against whatever radical Democrat the party bosses decide to prop up this cycle. In a state where law-abiding citizens are fleeing in droves thanks to skyrocketing crime, crushing taxes, and woke policies run amok, you'd think more Republicans would be lining up to restore sanity.
The Establishment's Playbook
This has all the hallmarks of the deep state's standard operating procedure. Find a principled conservative who threatens their power structure, then systematically isolate them by pressuring potential allies to abandon ship. We've seen this movie before, and it never ends well for We the People.
Sheriff Giardino's decision leaves Blakeman in a tough spot, but real fighters don't give up when the going gets tough. The question is: will other principled conservatives step up to fill the void, or will they let the establishment's intimidation tactics work?
New Yorkers deserve leaders who won't fold under pressure from the very swamp creatures they're supposed to be draining. With President Trump showing how it's done from the White House, state-level Republicans have no excuse for backing down from the fights that matter most.
The clock is ticking for Blakeman to find a running mate with the backbone to take on New York's corrupt political machine. Will any true patriots answer the call, or will the deep state's intimidation tactics claim another victim?
