I'm a minority.

Capitalism was great as long as only white people could take part. Now that we are becoming more "equal" we want socialism that is managed and operated by the white man. You a sucker getting played. They still own you. You getting pimped out for your vote.

Can City Republicans beat De Blasio this year?

No, they cannot.
Perhaps if Trump resigns the presidency fast enough, he can run for the mayoralty...and lose?

The "pissed off white conservative" thing doesn't work in NYC. A Republican would have to be very moderate at least on social issues in order to win NYC.

You mean the "pissed off white and black people from a less convenient geography being cut off from the greedy coastal locations" thing doesn't work in NYC.

Gotta love how the insecure want to make everything about race as if they have no other argument. So they let the media industry argue on their behalf, and become mindless parrots. What simpletons.

If we weren't their slaves they'd pay us in cash rather then provide us food, housing, and healthcare on the quarters of their plantation.

I think a Republican could totally beat De Blasio. He's vulnerable. I haven't met too many people that actively support De Blasio. Even the left is meh on him. I think anyone coherent and with a decent enough platform could beat De Blasio. Now does that person exist for NY Republicans? I don't know. This is the same party behind that disheveled supermarket guy and that cuckoo Paladino. They seem to struggle finding decent candidates.

Bo Dietl was viable at one time, but I think he may have too much baggage. Nicole Malliotakis is certainly formidable, and if she can get her name out there, she has a chance. She is young, comes from an immigrant family and a female.

The left is 100% consumed with race. It's all they care about, especially the young ones. Young leftists will expect a mayoral contest based solely on race, and they will get that from the left (Big Bird). Hopefully Nicole can strike sense and reason into enough people to overcome that garbage platform.

While Giuliani was mayor, the federal government began giving huge tax credits to develop inner cities and gave more money to police them.

Notice gentrification continued under a Democratic mayor, de Blasio as all the same tax credits are in place for developing inner cities and as demand to live in big cities with mass transit remains high.
Lindsay was a FAKE republican who then switched parties to a Democrat. Look it up.
