Fired-up Lee Zeldin brings the fight to Gov. Hochul, decisively wins only NY governor debate

If Gov. Hochul was going to give him only one debate, Rep. Lee Zeldin wasn’t going to waste a second making nice. The Republican challenger brought the fight and focus that he has displayed on the campaign trail and scored a decisive victory Tuesday night.

This wasn’t a knockout, but a victory on points because he made specific and realistic promises to improve life in New York. Hochul, meanwhile, mostly played defense.

Even when she played it well, she never really laid out a vision of what four more years would like and how they would be different from now.

In an election where voters all across the spectrum demand big changes, any hint that you are satisfied with the status quo is a loser, and that’s why she failed.

The debate was lively from the start, with Zeldin looking over-caffeinated and Hochul nervous. The moderators did a good job of peppering them with substantive questions and controlling the clock.

I watched the whole thing.  It was possibly worse than the Fetterman debacle.  Hochul is frigid and uncharismatic.  She has a massive built-in advantage due to the ethnic loyalties the democrats enjoy ... but it's tough to imagine her winning a statewide race anywhere else.
