SaintsInDome2006 641 Posted 17 hours ago 7 minutes ago, TBayXXXVII said: Bloomberg was a lifelong Democrat (whom everyone in NYC knew), but ran as a Republican because the Democrat party was pushing for Green. For his next run, Bloomberg switched to "Independent" after his re-election, then ran as a Democrat his 3rd time. He was always a Democrat and his policies show that. Since 1974, the only "true" Republican that NYC elected was Giuliani. Funny thing about Bloomberg's run vs Herman Badillo in the 2001 "Republican" primaries is that... Badillo was previously in the House of Rep's as a Democrat. Giuliani was an anomaly. All fair points, but I don’t think Giuliani was such an anomaly or Bloomberg. Adams was pro-police & eventually aligned with Trump. That was 4 years ago. The main factor with Sliwa is that absolutely no one serious has run against him. And though I’m sure progressives hate his group’s vigilantism he has good character. I haven’t seen one Republican or Maga here say one word in his favor.

Guiliani is literally, the ONLY true Republican to be elected into office from 1974 to 2025, that's 8 out of 50 years.

No, I think they're trying to show the independent voters (as well as the non-voters to become voters), across the state, that Republican voters and their candidates are evil and that Sherrill needs the votes. Those people in those areas affected by the bomb threats will get to vote and have their votes counted at some point, whether it be at a different polling location or date. They won't have to forfeit their votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 641 Posted 17 hours ago 37 minutes ago, TBayXXXVII said: Yup, you can have the W. Enjoy. Thanks. I guess one other thought on this is that there was almost no difference between the Giuliani & Bloomberg campaigns & administrations in terms of actually running the city. If Bloomberg - despite being an actual Republican - wasn’t a “real” Republican then neither was Giuliani. He was a “liberal Republican.” Rudy only became Maga-like when he started representing greasy foreign billionaires & politicians after leaving office. He just got sanctions dropped against Milo Dodik, the leader of the breakaway Srebska republic. Hunter Biden only wished he could get gigs like that. But still today’s Giuliani bears no resemblance to the America’s Mayor of 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, a smart person thinks that sherill supporters are calling in bomb threats to high sherill turnout centers in hopes to move independents to sherill. It's all very simple and believable. For the voters that were denied the right to vote due to these bomb threats, will they have another chance? Possibly, we don't know. Like I said maybe they have to work, or take care of kids or others, or maybe they will just decide not to because it's too difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
