CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 4, 2025
THERE ARE NO OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS ANYMORE THANKS TO MEDIA HYPE AND POLITICIANS WHO CLAIM THEY CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE BETTER THAN YOU CAN.
THE MOST WATCHED RACES ARE IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA.
THE ONE RECEIVING THE MOST ATTENTION IS NEW YORK WHERE THE LAST PRE-ELECTION POLL SHOWED THE LEAD OF ZOHRAN MAMDANI SHRINKING TO SINGLE DIGITS.
A UK DAILY MAIL POLL REVEALED NEARLY ONE MILLION ARE PREPARED TO LEAVE NEW YORK IF MAMDANI WINS. IT WOULD BE AMONG THE LARGEST MASS EXODUS IN AMERICAN HISTORY, EQUALING THE POPULATION SIZE OF WASHINGTON, D.C., LAS VEGAS, OR SEATTLE.
2.5 MILLION SAY THEY WOULD CONSIDER LEAVING. IF ANYWHERE NEAR THOSE NUMBERS PROVE CORRECT, IT WOULD LIKELY CRATER THE CITY’S ECONOMY AND SEND SHOCKWAVES ACROSS THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. A COLLAPSE OF NEW YORK’S ECONOMY WOULD MAKE MAMDANI’S PROMISE OF FREE BUS RIDES, FREE GROCERIES AND REDUCTIONS IN RENT IMPOSSIBLE.
SOCIALISM MAY BE APPEALING, ESPECIALLY TO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, BUT IN PRACTICE IT NEVER WORKS, BECAUSE AS MARGARET THATCHER FAMOUSLY SAID: “YOU SOON RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
