“A group of Republican state legislators and political operatives are set to meet with Donald Trump on Wednesday in an attempt to convince him to run for governor, the Daily News has learned. The Republican contingent will travel to Trump’s New York City office for what they recognize is a long-shot plea, said Assemblyman David DiPietro … “As Republicans we need to cast a pretty wide net and find the best candidate to beat Gov. Cuomo and we think that Mr. Trump can beat Mr. Cuomo,” DiPietro said …”
Bullshit.
The one and only one reason they are considering this is because they believe Trump could self-finance his own campaign.
