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:
So the people that are liking Newsom’s Trump Tweets and will vote for him regardless of his actual history as a politician aren’t real?
I get that you like to argue. That .ml after your name illustrates this. And while I often find manufactured outrage an absolute hoot- I’m going to go ahead and dismiss you.
You see, I have this policy where I will entertain the whole bLuEmAgA cringe for only so long before I just start feeling second-hand embarrassment for the person I’m talking with. And generally, I don’t like feeling anything at all for the type of people who think that doing nothing at all is the best course of action to stop a fascist.
Especially when they have the audacity to blame all the people to tried so hard to saver their asses so that they can just annoy everyone by crying victim of their own actions.
I hope you have the day that you voted for.
keep fucking that chicken. I’m sure this time blue no matter who will stop capitalism. Enjoy voting Trump (D).
