The candidates for New York City mayor face off Thursday in their first debate of the general election. Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa are set to take the stage at Rockefeller Center.

I may not like New York, and I think early voting is not a good idea, but at least in New York early voting starts a week before election day, and they will have a debate before voting begins, as it should be.
I know what to “watch for”. Moderators covering for Mammydammy.
In a three-way race, Mamdani will win. And Mamdani is more than just a communist. He’s a radical Muslim communist. You can’t get much worse than that.
Sliwa should put his ego aside, and do the right thing. Drop out now, and throw his support behind Cuomo. I get that Cuomo is trash. But Mamdani… oh my goodness. There’s really no comparison.
Common is just as bad. NYC is in for bad times.
“””Sliwa should put his ego aside, and do the right thing. Drop out now,”””
He seems to like the attention so he will let New York City burn instead of dropping out.
Cuomo should be the one to dropout.
Sliwa is delusional if he thinks he has a chance to win. If he cares about his city he will drop out.
Saw him on Fox yesterday. He’s as slippery as an eel!
> Cuomo should be the one to dropout. <
It’s a complicated mess. Sliwa would be the best one for NYC. But Cuomo is polling way ahead of Sliwa.
I’m guessing that if Sliwa drops out, most of his votes would go to Cuomo. But if Cuomo drops out, most of his votes would go to the other Democrat, Mamdani.
This whole thing makes me sick. On 9/11 radical Muslims attacked NYC. And now it looks like the city’s next mayor will be a radical Muslim.
Somebody thinks the election matters; Sliwa says he has been offered millions of dollars from someone to drop out of the race.
I see no possible outcome but victory for Mamdani with cheering crowds ecstatic and near hysteria for him.
In a three way race, it’s just possible that Sliwa could get more votes. I’m praying for that. The other two have got to be a stench in God’s nostrils. But He has allowed monsters to rule many times; I just hope this isn’t one of those times. Man proposes, God disposes.
Only six years after 9/11, the whole country voted for a communist Muslim from Kenya for president, so Mamdani the Commie doesn’t look so unprecedented.
I love her of course, but the numbers tell me I need to keep working another 3-4 years to make the numbers work. After completing neuropathy treatments, two cataract surgeries, and controlling my diabetes better, I think my chances are better than average. LOL

The polls are all over the place. Here’s a recent one:
Mamdani: 46%
Cuomo: 33%
Sliwa: 15%
I’m as much an optimist as the next person. But as I see it, in a three-way race Sliwa can only win if Mamdani and Cuomo both make huge blunders before election day.
Maybe like saying something so vile that even the mainstream media is repulsed. But how likely is that?
Mamdani says outrageous stuff daily. Anyway, I’m going to keep praying.
Jerry Seinfeld should have run.
Absolutely outrageous, they keep ignoring Curtis!!!
Exactly what they are doing!
