Trump in talks with Cuomo to help him beat Mamdani

Trump--the opposite of the Meidas touch.

"help him beat"

"rig this election like the last one"

Fake News, Cuomo ain't that stupid!! Watch, Adams will drop out!!

I still think Cuomo will handily win in Nov.

How's the weather in Irkutsk, R4?

If Cuomo thinks working with Trump is going to garner him any votes in NYC he's dumber than I thought.

I am very disappointed in Cuomo even entertaining the idea of having Trump 'help' him.

R4 does not live in NYC.

Orthodox Jewish voters are Trump supporters for the most part, so this helps lock in their votes.

As someone who did not rank Mamdani in the primary as I think he would be an ineffective and possibly divisive mayor, there is no way in hell that I would now vote for Cuomo. Zohran, you have my vote.

I am seriously considering not voting at all.

Cuomo always positioned himself as anti-Trump, but he's now tainted. But Mamdani has never run a lemonade stand and hasn't a clue.

I hear you R10 but I refuse to sit this election out. My vote for Mamdani will be a vote against Trump.

Mamdani is a Member of the New York State Assembly from the 36th district. That's more of a credential than Dump ever had.

Kiss of death, Cuomo.

quote: [My vote for Mamdani will be a vote against Trump.]

Agree, R12.

A vote for Mamdani is a vote against Trump.

Who could imagine a better recruiting poster for Mamdani in NYC, the most imporant city in the world, than Trump?

The fact that Cuomo would even consider using Dump’s support shows how morally bankrupt he is and thus unelectable. I thought Trump was the end of democracy. That’s what you said when you were still welcomed at the table. Fake ass DINO bitch.

Mamdani is actually winning the Jewish vote in the latest poll.

Cuomo is an even bigger shitbag than Trump. At least Donald is transparent about his fuckery, his goals, and his horniness.

Ugh, how i DETEST Mark Penn; he and that young twink were a huge reason why Hillary lost, and I cannot understand what the Clintons saw in him.

Thanks, Dump!

R19 Jewish people are generally high IQ. Plus Jewish New Yorkers. They can’t be easily manipulated with wedge issues.

I wish there were other Democratic candidates to choose from.

A very bad look for Cuomo.

Thanks, Donnie.

Mamdani has this. Thanks, idiot Dump.

Mamdani.

Thanks, Trump, for making it easy. Dumb cunt.

[quote] Cuomo told Trump to fuck off

Nice try, R31.

[quote] The headline of this post is completely misleading. The linked article says Trump is considering jumping in to help Cuomo

Completely what the article says.

[quote] and that they had one phone call

Uh-huh, R32--what do you think they talked about?

Sorry, that was for R31.

[quote] I’m not even a Cuomo fan

Paid Cuomo troll at R31.

New Yorkers shat Trump out like a bag of Wow Chips and a night of hard seltzers. They will also shat out rapey Cuomo.

New York will vote for Mamdani for mayor, and Dump can fuck himself.

No, it's not what the article says. It says Trump is considering jumping in to help Cuomo. Then it says they had one phone call that we don't know the content of. That's not the same as "being in talks." That's an assumption you're all making because you all have your tongues so far up Mamdani's ass.

R39 Ok I’ll contend I was wrong and made assumptions based on the OP’s write up. Still fuck both these cunts.

The fact that Cuomo had even one call with Trump is enough to turn me against him. It doesn’t matter to me what they discussed.

[quote] it says they had one phone call that we don't know the content of.

What could it possibly be about, R39? Not at all about Mamdani?

It really works out well when a political candidate leans in to supporting and echoing Trump!

The greatest, most important city in the world hates Dump and will vote accordingly.

The trolls don't even bother to gang up on this thread.

Good news for Mamdani!

Make no mistake, Dump wants Cuomo to win.

Rapey pussy grabbers of a feather stick together.

And Cuomo will lose to Mamdani.

Maybe the lack of trolls here means they've cut back on trolls since Dump signed on to support Cuomo?

You SAID what you SAID, Linnethia Teacake Leakes.

I don't even know why Trump would want Cuomo to win. If he wants a puppet, he'd want Adams. If he wants someone to demonize then he'd want Mamdani.

Stupid, stupid, incredibly stupid. I am no fan of Mamdani's. He's promising dreams he'll never be able to deliver. He's punching way out of his league. Cuomo knows how this city works, for better and often worse. And I do not care who he's flirted with. But if he goes near Trump, my Cuomo vote switches to Mamdani, fast. Even that there would be a conversation is a deal-breaker when it comes time to vote. Adams revealed his crooked hand throwing in with Trump. I would assume Cuomo to be the same.

See, this is Trump’s fatal flaw as a politician, and it’s what cost him the House last time.

In the battle between “Electable by Voters” and “Slavishly loyal to TRUMP,” he always eagerly endorses the latter. His mind cannot handle anything less than total mental slavery among “his” people, so he lets himself be flattered and wooed by any desperate asshole who wants his endorsement. Voters in the ground want something different, and when he interferes with that, many end up voting Democratic.

He would endorse anyone who gave him the time of day. He’s lonely like that. If Mamdani flattered him for a week, he’d give it to him. It’s that transparent.

Voters in the ground don’t hold a lot of sway.

Cuomo assaulted multiple women how worked for him, R54. It was not "flirting." It was sexual assault and abuse of power.

The "I was fine with the rapey pervert until he talked to Trump!" tshirt is answering questions about you that nobody asked.

I miss the days when one lost the primary or election and they just went away.

R4: Your lips to God’s ears.

If Trump really wants to help Cuomo, he needs to convince Adams and Sliwa to drop out. They don’t have a shot at all. If you don’t want a socialist mayor, Cuomo is your only option.

I'll take the socialist mayor over Cuomo.

Zohran only wants to rape your wallet, and only if you're the 1%

Ya gotta love "centrists." "I hate Trump, but I hate Socialists, too. I won't vote for the Republican rapist, but I'll vote for the Democratic rapist if he keeps the Socialist out. That makes me a centrist!

Getting back to the thread topic, I wonder if Cuomo is just loving it that Dump has tainted him by association, even if it's conjecture? Womp, whomp, Andy.

Will have to watch "Inside City Hall" tonight for the latest.

Cuomo doesn't give a shit. He's pathologically desperate for attention and public adoration. Donald has the same problem. They're two of a kind.

Mamdani needs to concentrate on this Trump/Cuomo cabal every minute of every day. He needs to hammer home to the voters what a fool Cuomo is to even think of associating with a blob of corrupt slime like Trump.

It’s now being reported that Trump’s offered Adams a job - undoubtedly HUD secretary - if he gets out of the race.

The Black guys always gets HUD secretary under Trump

Most people are smart enough to know there's nothing Mamdani can do to NYC that would be as destructive as having a Trump acolyte as Mayor. Mayors don't make significant economic policy.

“The conversations have also involved Curtis Sliwa with the goal of giving Andrew Cuomo a better chance of defeating Zohran Mamdani in November.”

NYT article linked below.

Cuomo would get a larger percentage of the vote if he’s basically the only one running against Mamdani but I’m willing to bet there are a lot of Adams supporters who would refuse to vote for anyone supporting Trump

What struck me when Cuomo resigned in Aug. 2021 was how nobody came to his defense.

It was as though anybody who ever worked with him hated him.

Almost like there’s a pattern or a reason.

They did hate him R74. He had no allies and thought he could prevail by just exerting his will. Total thug.

WHET to elections being decided by the people?

This one will be, R77. And that cunt Dump is going to suck it.

R77, considering the vast inferior alternative, are you unhappy that Lisa Murkowski, who actually does give us something from time to time, did not abide by her primary results & ran, successfully, as a write-in?

For some, voting for Mamdani will be a rebuke of Trump. If a convicted felon, corrupt grifter, sexual predator, wannabe autocrat megalomaniac can be President then a muslim socialist can be Mayor of his (former) home city.

My sincere hope is that because of his youth and inexperience Mamdani will aim straight for the corrupt labor unions of NYC. If nothing else, he can expose the criminal element.

Worst candidates ever.

[quote]Make no mistake, Dump wants Cuomo to win.

Of course he does, and Cuomo welcome's his support. They're both cut from the same cloth, compadres, cohorts. Just because he has a D next to his name, or once did, doesn't mean Cuomo's not MAGA to the core. Even if he voted for Kamala, he had to hold his nose doing it because his real agenda is 100% aligned with Trump's, from cheerleading genocide to raping women. They're not even "two sides of the same coin," they're nearly identical. Two NY nepo babies who grew up to be fascist rapists.

Eric Adams eyed by Trump for Saudi Arabia ambassadorship

Bill Ackman, the recently-Trumpier hedge fund billionaire with overwrought opinions on everything, has just now come out stumping hard for Cuomo and declaring that Adams needs to drop out. (Ackman’s statement on X linked below)

Weeks to go… but this could possibly become an evenly matched Mamdami vs Cuomo fight, and not a Mamdami cakewalk.

Hypothetically it could be evenly matched, but what Trump doesn't ever see, is that Cuomo has the stink of Trump all over him. None of these idiots figured that into their polling.. And Mamdani is now bringing it out into the open, asking if Donald would like to debate him directly instead of through a puppet. George Conway was right, the only way Trump could get Cuomo elected is by endorsing Mamdani

R85, so true, and yet I do think if Cuomo really rises and it's all over the news that it is becoming a close contest... that's a lot of potential "I'm nervous about Mamdami" NYC voters across the 5 boroughs. We'll likely have a clearer sense of things by the end of Sept.

I honestly don't know who I would vote for -- Mamdami is to my left and inexperienced as hell but seems principled; Cuomo is to my right and corrupt as hell but absolutely experienced. (I was an NYC voter from 2011 thru 2022, now living in Jersey)

R86 Cuomo’s experience includes his corruption, sexual harassment, and defunding the MTA.

Nobody’s perfect.

All very true R87. Mamdami is a hell of a leap of faith though. Age 33, far-left positions on many issues, and zero executive experience. If I had to vote today I would vote Mamdami over Cuomo, but not with a feeling of confidence. If Cuomo gains momentum, it will be a complex choice for a lot of the city's liberal voters.

Gee, um, who do I vote for? The guy who isn’t a sexual harasser or the guy who is a sexual harasser?

Such a complex choice.

[quote]Cuomo’s experience includes his corruption, sexual harassment

Who cares? Which one will not allow the City to become a cesspool?

Cuomo originally positioned himself as a mayor Trump couldn't bully and push around. But if he is in cahoots with Trump he is permanently compromised and tainted.

Everybody loves the idea of a youthful candidate but Mamdani is clueless and aligned himself with the corrupt deBlasio.

Total shitshow.

[quote] Cuomo originally positioned himself as a mayor Trump couldn't bully and push around. But if he is in cahoots with Trump he is permanently compromised and tainted.

Not if he still harbors presidential ambitions.

Adams refuses to leave NYC mayor race after reports of Trump job offer

"I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"

R94: Never underestimate his desire to make money and travel abroad. He'll cave in and take the Ambassador to Turkey job.

Do you really think that life in New York City is going to get more affordable and safe under Mamdani?

He's the incumbent polling at 7% and he still thinks he can win. I guess he wants Mamdani to be his legacy. Adams is more delusional than I thought.

I agree, R94. He's holding out for the best offer.

[quote] Ask for more!

The voters need some debates, at least two of them. Reserve Judgment on both candidates until we see them debate.

The two televised debates are scheduled for October 16 and October 22. Early voting begins on October 25 so I guess Adams and Sliwa have to drop out by October 1.

if they wait too late to drop out,, their names still appear in ballots - so brain dead voters could still vote for them

R102, the deadline is September 11, so Adams has the upper hand here. Didn’t Trump’s DOJ refuse to definitively drop charges against him? He will want that plus an ambassadorship, at the very least. On the other hand, like everyone who has ever met Cuomo, he hates him, so he may stay in just for that reason.

With HUD already spoken for (has its secretary been heard from since taking office?), are there any other Black jobs available?

Does he have a driver's license?

He can be Ambassador to Crete and visit Kimberly Guilfoyle and have a kiki with her.

R79, in the case you present, the election WAS decided by the people. I have no problem with individual candidates making choices on how they run in an election. I am talking about external manipulation of candidates affecting WHO the people vote for.

OKAY!! Now that Labor Day week is done, it's time to focus on elections!!

I called Bob Brady; my favorite Philly democratic party boss& give me the short version on what is going on this November other than the NYC Mayor's race. We're going to have a much longer talk next week.
