    NY is essentially a one party state because the Republicans stopped trying to compete.
    I wouldn't go that far. New York Democrats do dramatically outnumber New York Republicans when it comes to the federal House of Representatives (only about a third are Republicans), and the Democrats also have strong control of the State Assembly house (only a little more than a quarter are Republicans), but much to my surprise, there were actually more Republicans in the State Senate than there were Democrats.

    A better example of a one party state would be Hawaii, where Democrats make up 100% of the State Senate and 90% of the State House.

      Oh, you must mean the herd of RHINOs that are allowed to roam to give the appearance of an opposition party.

        Isn't the conservative vote split up between several parties?

          Anyone and everyone else is at fault except her.
          Hillary reminds me of someone...
