New York GOP Wants Donald Trump to Run for Governor

Apparently New York Republicans think only Trump could run on the GOP ticket and win against Andrew Cuomo in 2014.

State Republican leaders in New York are pushing for Donald Trump to run for governor, according a report Monday.

“There is only one prospective candidate who could run on the GOP line and win against Cuomo in 2014 — Donald Trump,” a memo circulated by a GOP assemblyman read, as quoted by the New York Post.

Trump said he was “very flattered’’ by the effort, which the paper reported is backed by state GOP Chairman Ed Cox and other party leaders.
