The Queens party boss was voicing one of many competing theories about whether Democrats need to retool their stances — on issues like immigration, abortion rights or housing — to avoid losing more ground to the GOP within the city.Adriano Espaillat, a fellow congressman who commands his own political empire in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx, was less sanguine about those rightward trends.
