Someday yes, assuming now third party replaces the GOP in New York. 2018 could be a possibility because of a potential messy primary challenge on the Dem side, probably unlikely though. I would guess by 2030, New York would have elected a GOP Governor.

Yes, but it has much more to do with what the Democrats do than what the Republicans do.

If Zephyr Teachout had more money and more time to build her machine, we might be looking at Governor Astorino right now.

Gubernatorial elections seem to be the least partisan, so this isn't that unlikely.

I'm shocked no true leftist has commented yet that Cuomo is a GOP governor. Tongue

Yes, there will be, and anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.

And, Wyoming will have another Democratic Governor. Eventually.

Of course.

Florida hasn't had a Democratic governor in almost twenty years, I guess that means the Dems are done down there Roll Eyes

Maybe John Flanagan in 2018....however beating Cuomo in Trump's first midterm in 2018 may be tough...2022 or 2026 maybe.

Not 2018. 2022 - possible, but depends on too many factors, which can't be predicted now. 2026? I don't predict so far into future.

One of the problems with running as a NY Republican is that the NY media is dominated by Democratic pols.  This wasn't true in the 1960s and 1970s because liberal Repubicans from NYC were incumbents.  Rockefeller.  Javits.  Lefkowitz.  Lindsay (until 1971).  It was also a time where NY's Democratic Party was in the midst of its own civil war between its organization factions and the NDC (New Democratic Coalition, a liberal reformist faction).  The inside joke was that "NDC" meant "November Doesn't Count", and it's true that many NDC-backed Democrats were the most liberal and unelectable back in the day.

The most likely Republican to be elected Governor is Rudy Giuliani, because he's a media star that lots of registered Democrats have already voted for.  Giuliani's a media presence in NY media, even now.  None of the other guys mentioned here really are.

There's absolutely no reason what happened in Massachusetts in 2014 couldn't happen in New York at some point in the future.
