Politico reports that at a Hamptons fundraiser last Saturday, Cuomo told his well-heeled supporters that, contrary to all available evidence, he could win the New York mayoral race as an independent—because he was likely to have the implicit support of President Donald Trump.
The imperative of defeating Mamdani justified the new coalition Cuomo is trying to create of his die-hard loyalists (who are Democrats) with Trump Republicans.
Some of that latter group might be tempted to back Curtis Sliwa, the actual GOP nominee in the race. Cuomo told these donors, “We can minimize [the Sliwa] vote, because he’ll never be a serious candidate. And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani. And you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa.” Cuomo went on to emphasize that he’d be a mayor who could find common ground with Trump:
lol… again… a post election survey of what people would have done- isn’t an accurate reading of anything at all.
It’s a guess. A trust placed in people that were too fucking stupid to do the right thing the first time.
But by all means, keep propping up this nonsense as an argument against having to be responsible for something. And the irony of you calling me sanctimonious.
I voted.
I never accused you of not voting, and I voted too (Democratic ticket all the way down in a blue state).
The fact you think you can divine who voted based on how hard they jack off the Democratic establishment is why you aren’t and won’t be having useful or productive conversations with anyone who isn’t already in lockstep with you. You’re having your two minutes’ hate, not getting anyone new to vote against Trump.
