Uuugh. IMO if they had a strong candidate they could steamroll any Dem candidates on several issues - sheesh, just for being the same party as DeBlasio and Cuomo. Only, they're still waffling around. Apparently Catsimatidis (the real estate guy) may or may not run, not sure what his quals are other than he has $ to fund his own campaign. And there's Bill Pepitone. And I think that's it.

Catsimatidis pulls this stunt every four or eight years. Since he's got billions and self finances these mayoral bids it's no skin off his back win or lose. IMHO he's getting too old for this nonsense and needs to stop play acting at politics.
There is still time IIRC for a serious republican to enter race, give things several more weeks.
I'd rather be in Yang's position than the others, but still too early--even if we were to solely go based on these poll numbers--to know how things will turn out. Yang has to win at least 40% in the primary, so if he was to get what he's polling, a lot would come down to how others ranked him via the ranked choice voting system.
Bad crop of candidates. Looking forward to the debates. As for Yang, does anyone know his position on policing? I suspect that's the #1 issue facing New Yorkers. What do you all think?
I hope Yang is a Tiger dad. We need to instill discipline none of this do nothing police force.
Anyone who's willing to vote for a lifelong NYC politician is either a ****ing idiot or benefits from the dysfunction and corruption in some way.
All these lifelong NYC politicos are pure trash.
Well, there's less chance of an insurrection although in deblasio and cuomo's case...
