This entire situation might be indicative of the dysfunction of the NY State Democratic Party. They should have been able to BURY this creep using Oppo research. But they didn't. Yes, it was a tough media environment given the racist "crime" signaling that the GOP used. But this guy is the REAL crook, and it's clear he's been running wild for long time. This is just one more data point that the NY state Democratic party needs to get its shit together. Losing 4 House seats is a disgrace, and no whining about losing in court should be accepted. They overplayed their political hand, lost in court, and then were whupped at the polls. The party got fat and lazy.....and lost. *SIGH!*

Nothing I can add to this. I currently live in New York 04, but I used to live New York 03, I’m appalled and I am frustrated. I did call your show yesterday and you gave me the ability to vent my frustration with the New York State democratic chair person, Jay Jacobs. There was zero effort to help Robert Zimmerman, who was an amazing candidate, there was zero effort to educate the public about the dangerous candidate that Santos was. As of this morning, I’ve contacted the New York State democratic chair again, the Nassau County Democrats again. The failure of the NYS democratic party is why we lost the House, Jacobs needs to be removed, and Santos needs to be indicted. There needs to be a special election.
