The consensus: Trump is a problem.Republican officials in Central New York are reeling after Democrats won all six contested seats in the Onondaga County Legislature, flipping it to Democratic control for the first time in nearly 50 years. County Legislature Chair Tim Burtis says GOP voters repeatedly expressed anti-Trump sentiment during his door-knocking efforts, telling him “anybody but a Republican” despite local issues not being on voters’ minds.
