This Brooklyn Dem is seeing red.
Simcha Felder, running for a hotly contested state Senate seat against Republican incumbent David Storobin, is hammering out a deal to caucus with the GOP if elected, insiders said.
“He will go to the highest bidder — which is ironic because he is running for Carl Kruger’s seat,” said an Albany insider, referring to the former lawmaker now in prison for corruption.
If elected, Felder, 53, “ will be in the driver’s seat,” said political consultant Hank Sheinkopf. “Should he win, he’ll be a senator in a very unique position. Both sides will want him, but on most issues, only one side will have him — and that will be the Republicans.”

So why doesn’t he run as a Republican.
Why take a chance on a “maybe” when, with Storobin you get a definitely? Can you really trust someone who spit in our face & overturned “term limits”, allowing Bl$$mberg to stay in his Lordship & enact all these terrible decrees?! Their camp can spin it any way they want. The choice is clear. We must, as Torah Jews, vote in overwhelmingly, David Storobin!
We should expect most of the Shomer Shabbos politicians to switch parties. The Democrats have decided that support for “Gay rights” and abortion is the test for belonging to the Democratic Party, which leave us very few options. In terms of economics, most frum Jews are natural Democrats (we are much more likely to be in the 47% that doesn’t pay income tax, than in the 1% that provides most of the tax revenue). However in other issues we are natural Republicans. It’s only a matter of time that Felder, Hikind, etc. get expelled from the Democratic Party for their views on social issues.
