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:
Cuomo’s career peaked in the 90s, started way back when Dems were conservative. He has never been a liberal.
Hey, that’s when Democrats only started nominating the Clinton-crew for presidencies!
Via democratic primary election.
Whose outcome cannot be manipulated at all.
And yet somehow any such manipulation aside from “guy in the party said he doesn’t like option B” goes completely unrevealed for decades.
I can tell your brain is fried from social media.
Wow what a thorough deepdive into the hidden events of the 2016 election. You clearly knew what you were talking about aside from tribalistic emotions.
