Let’s go back to June 2015, in the days immediately after Donald Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator and announced he was running for president. Do you remember all the “knowledgeable” people who wrote off his campaign as a vanity stunt? Or the others who believed Trump had no chance of winning the nomination, much less the presidency. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Keep that in mind for all those brushing off Guardian Angels’ founder, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa’s New York City mayoral campaign. Perhaps it was true in past years when the Democrat nominee would automatically go on to win the general election; however, 2025 is not a typical year since Democrats nominated a communist. Mamdani might not call himself a communist, but he says all the communist mantras. For example, as Mark Lewis wrote:
Karl Marx: “The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.”
Recent Breitbart headline: “Zohran Mamdani Pushes for ‘Abolition of Private Property’”
This November, Republican nominee Sliwa has a very good chance of an upset victory in the New York mayoral race.
Sliwa, who has spent his entire life tirelessly protecting New Yorkers since founding the Guardian Angels in 1979, understands the Big Apple. He knows that many New Yorkers have no choice but to ride the city’s crime-infested subways, walk its crime-infested streets, and send their children to its crime-infested schools. Former three-term GOP Gov. George Pataki is confident that the Republican mayoral nominee can win City Hall. In a New York Post interview, Pataki said:
“This is the weakest Democratic field ever. Curtis knows the city better than anyone else. He knows the neighborhoods better than anyone else....

He'll lose.
NYC GOP needs to get behind Eric Adams.
Curtis is a good guy, but his is a Bill Buckley-type candidacy with no realistic path to victory.
My .02:
New Yorkers haven’t yet felt enough pain to elect the likes of Sliwa..
Let them elect mandami and suffer for it.
Is there any way of knowing what approximate percentage of the total vote in NY is more than likely made up of illegals? They, and 19 yr old college indoctrinates may be how Zohran has gotten to the front of the pack so quickly.
Addams held much promise, going into the position of mayor, but very quickly , he seemed to be compromised, hiring his cronies and old girlfriends, or ignoring what Atty Bragg was doing to destroy safety in NY with his No Bail policies.
Addams also began making racist remarks, usually against whites and for blacks when it came to enforcing the law.
Sadly, looks like the aoc, nadler, schmukee, hawk-eem bunch would rather have mamdami the commie.
Problem is that the people who work in New York City, don’t live in New York City. So what you’ve got left living there will vote for the likes of Mamdani, while all the productive people will take the subway to their nice suburban neighborhoods.
Urban professionals in NYC.
Zohran Mamdani probably has the votes he needs from the Muslims living in NYC and all the woke liberals.
Sadiq Khan was able to follow that formula to become the mayor of London.
Not only no, but hell no! Mamdani for the win. America needs this wakeup call.
Adams, meet snowball in hell.
Then Zohran Mamdani will become the next Mayor of NYC.
He'll lose.
Yup, NYC will never elect Sliwa as mayor. He should step aside, for the good of NYC.
From your mouth to God’s ear.
Poll numbers:

Polls can be off—but a twenty one point deficit speaks for itself.
My prayers and maybe a few bucks are with Sliwa.
Mamdani also has a lock on the AWFUL vote.
AWFUL = Affluent White Female Urban Liberal
The folks on the Upper East Side would rather vote for someone who openly hates them than vote for a Republican
That’s what I was afraid of. I don’t live in NY, but my concern is this Muslim win will establish a precedent, and other big Blue urban areas will want to elect their Muslim mascot too, in order to ‘prove’ how progressive and ‘with it’ they are. This is how they were with women, after Hilary C. ran for president in 2007, with race, after Obama ‘won’ in 2008. This is how some smaller cities are right now, with a few Trans being elected.
Not waving any white flags here. I believe in American resilience. I would still have faith that this would not necessarily be a permanent situation, but IMO, one hour of government sanctioned Sharia is one hour too many.
When Curtis Sliwa talks, he sounds good to me since I am a conservative.
However, there are few people like me in NYC.
RE: He’ll lose. NYC GOP needs to get behind Eric Adams.
How did Rudy Giuliani win TWICE?
