However, I would add more reasons to his flip-flop this time. Hikind knows that his constituents veered totally to the right in the recent years, he knows that they’ll probably be voting Republican. Hikind wants to polish his image as a non-grata and take the credit for getting Grimm the majority of the votes in his district. Additionally, Hikind is mad at McMahon for endorsing Greenfield over his hand-picked candidate Joe Lazar. If he sees an opportunity of defeat for McMahon, he’ll jump on the bandwagon to return his favor.

Truthfully, I’ve been sceptical about this race. Mike McMahon has served his constituency well. He was brave and took the courage to be the only house member of New York City to vote against Obamacare. Not only did he vote against it, he was vocal about his position. I, personally, have written to him many times and his response was always swift and sincere. I’m a registered Republican and tend to vote conservative, therefore I would probably vote for Grimm (other if the case would be McMahon vs. Allegretti) . However, if Hikind can endorse liberal candidates all the time, there’s no valid reason for the establishment to go against an incumbent that stood up against Washington. I applaud Greenfield on his position and demand a valid explanation from Hikind of why he would go against a true maverick.
