Excuse my New York City-centric viewpoint, but Mike Huckabee just implied in the debate that the Upper East Side of Manhattan is a liberal bastion. He’s wrong. In the 2013 mayoral election, Democrat Bill de Blasio lost the Upper East Side to Republican Joe Lhota, despite de Blasio’s winning by 49 percentage points citywide. I believe Huckabee was referring to the Upper West Side, which de Blasio won by 49 percentage points.
