She was whopped by a the FNM council which does not reflect the real voter. It is controlled by a group of "has beens" who's loyalty was with Cecil under whom they could not win an election. They still have no idea of how to run a winning party.
They only know how to pick and support losers like Minnis.
LBT may not have been the choice with a young dynamic group. They could have chosen someone else who one of the other MP's would have stepped aside for and been elected in a bye election.
This old crowd have no idea of how to create a winning party.
The only reason that this has occurred is that a group of very old men (Wells, CA, Moore, Thompson and Dupuch with some of the original fossils of the FNM) have hijacked the party. They have resisted, as much as they could, having young council members and, by and large, have kept the old and decrepit as a large majority of the Council.
If they had allowed and encouraged a younger council we would not be in a situation where half the FNM's traditional voters want nothing to do with the FNM.
I keep running into people who either are not going to vote or will vote DNA again to protest the FNM.
Some have said that if Sears were to win the PLP leadership they would consider voting for the PLP before they vote FNM.

Long Islanders are acting precipitously. Someone has gone and wound up the hot heads. It is to be expected and plays into the hands of the old guard FNM Council.
They may very well remove her, indeed I expect the old idiots to do so. And Long Island will become the one we can look back to for destroying the FNM......sad.

No he did not turn over the DNA at all. He agreed that the DNA would work with LBT to beat the PLP.
