I agree. Sliwa can win.

No guarantees. But it can happen.

Sliwa can’t win. A GOP Adams might be able to.

They need a serious guy. Business exec. A guy with some credentials (by guy I mean man or woman)

I agree (sadly).

Let’s say it’s Mamdani vs. Adams vs. Sliwa.
Adams and Sliwa will split the sane vote. Mamdani will win.

Sliwa should do the honorable thing. Drop out, and support Adams. I wonder if his ego will allow that.
🤔

There is regular stupid and California or New York level stupid which ensures that Sliwa can’t win.

Should be, but no.

And Eric Adams should stay registered as an independent, at least for now.

He is the best “moderate” available who can possibly win.

I have nothing against Sliwa, I just don’t think he can win in NYC. I think he’ll do well in Staten Island, some areas of Queens and Brooklyn, maybe even get 49% in Queens, but lose in total in Manhattan, Bronx, parts of Queens and parts of Brooklyn - enough to not get close to a city majority. Just my take on Sliwa and the folks in the different sections of the city.

The GOP and Adams together ought to be able to buy out Sliwa’s ego.

Not going to happen. They will elect the communist and NY will turn into a hell hole. Just look at what the same idiots did in Chicago but this will be worse,

Good point! Cuomo is an old-school Democrat. I assumed he would respect the D primary results. Evidently not. I just looked it up. He’s still in, and on the ballot as a candidate of a minor party (the “Fight and Deliver” party, believe it or not).

I see this as more good news for Mamdani, as the sane vote will be split even more.

But I could be wrong. This mess is very complicated. It’s becoming more than an amateur like me can comprehend.

🤷‍♂️

No, no he can’t. He’s the male version of a cat lady who pretends to be a tough guy and hasn’t done anything of note in the last 50 years.

What was Sliwa’s beef with Trump? Has he changed his opinion?

“ RUDY!! America’s Mayor 🗽 🇺🇸”

Rudy went in as a democrat. He hired good people. Installed broken windows policy. Loved New York

Switched to republican. Law and order

No jay walking

The nYC voters hated him. They don’t want rules. They don’t care about NYC

The commuters- they’re different. They vote for Trump (not the westchester ppl. But Suffolk, Nassau half and half and def states island.

IMHO, it’s a long shot. Possible, but unlikely.

I remember once reading that Rudy Guilanti had a son that might fit the ticket?

Andrew ran for Governor of NY ... lost to Hochhhhhul.

There is name recognition, but ... Rudy has the experience.
