Cohen, a business executive and counsel to Donald Trump, is preparing to challenge Krueger, a popular Upper East Side senator, for the Democratic nomination in September. But if he fails, Cohen says he may continue by jumping over to the Republican line on the November ballot, even though Krueger's last two GOP opponents have failed to garner 50 percent of the vote-combined.

Cohen is also interested in potentially landing the Independence Party endorsement and ballot line as well.
An interesting approach. Wonder where he got the idea?
Cohen has dabbled in Republican Party politics before. In 2003, at the behest of Gov. George Pataki, he switched his registration to challenge then-Council Member Eva Moskowitz, a Democrat.
And it gets even better. His rationale for running:
"I handle very important matters for Mr. Trump, which includes budgets and contracts- everything the state is lacking right now," Cohen said. "If you look at her voting record, all she voted to do is tax and spend, tax and spend. It doesn't work."
A) His nuance and finesse DAZZLE!
B) Sure does sound like a Democrat, doesn't he?
Let's hope this guy doesn't cause Krueger too much trouble. We have no shortage of incumbents who shouldn't stay in Albany -- on both sides of the aisle. Krueger has proved over and over that she ain't one of them. |
