I know Curtis would be best for NYC, but NEEDS to read the writing on the wall.

He has little to no chance and his active candidacy at this point only ensures a Mamdani victory.

Maybe cut a deal with Cuomo...drop out and support him in exchange for a place in his administration.

I get this is far from ideal, but realism supersedes optimism in elections such as this one.

Trump could name Curtis “Plumb” ambassador to Poland.

I pray this socialist is elected.
People will reject this ideology nationally if they see it applied to NYC.
I fear that if he is defeated then we’re doomed to experience this dangerous ideology on the national level.

Cuomo is a jerk, but he’s a far better jerk than Mamdani!

Since a non-Democrat mayor is inconceivable in NYC at the moment, I have to hope Sliwa makes a deal with Cuomo about a few things, like crime control, and throws his weight behind him.

I suspect Cuomo still harbors dreams of higher office.

If NYC votes for Mandani, they deserve what they get.

Has Adams dropped out? If not, this is a worthless poll.

I’m starting to notice something interesting listening to the news here in the NYC area.

Mamdani is referred to as the “Democrat Socialist” candidate, not the Democrat Party nominee.

Cuomo is referred to as “former Gov.,” not disgraced former gov. or loser of the Democrat primary.

Sliwa barely gets mentioned.

That the machine wants Cuomo tells me all I need to know.

This is bigger than just NYC. Mamdani is a radical Muslim. If he wins, it will be a huge victory for Islam. And in the very city they attacked on 9/11.

Can Sliwa put his ego aside, and do the right thing?

Agree about Curtis. All hands on deck to make sure the Anti-American Communist is not elected Mayor of New York.

Just because SLiwa drops doesn’t mean all those votes go to Cuomo.

No way Sliwa. Democrats are so desperate they run a communist to get rid of a Republican to help themselves.

Stick it out Sliwa. NYC deserves this. America needs to witness it.

So even with the Democrat vote split, a Republican can still only get 17% of the vote in New York.

Sliwa needs to stay in the race. NYC needs an even bigger taste of communism than they got from DeBlasio. Maybe they’ll figure out it isn’t so great this time. One can hope.

I don’t care if my former home NYC wants to vote themselves into devastation. Just so long as there is a Republican President to tell them to “drop dead” when they want a Fed handout to stave off bankruptcy. My fear is a Dem President will be in power and Nebraska and Texas will eind up paying for NYC residents’ foolhardiness

When -- not if -- Mamdani fails, he and the rest of his leftist buddies will blame that failure on deliberate sabotage by everyone else. He'll play the "us against them" card, and there are enough stupid people in NYC that they may buy it. Those morons plus the leftists may be enough to keep that guy in office for awhile.

Not really sure Grandma killer Cuomo would be any better than Mamdani. Sliwa should probably stay in the race.
