God, I love Sliwa getting trounced (with 69% of votes counted, he's at 7.7%)

He's always been an opportunistic brownshirt. Go take a lint brush to your beret.

Ironically, he's the only candidate in any race I've actually interacted with. We were both getting the day's newspaper at Penn Station back when I was commuting at hours when sane people still have an hour or two before their alarm goes off (I presume he was on his way to his morning radio show). Nothing beyond head nods and "you first" gestures because I didn't really have anything to say to him beyond "you suck", so I left it as neutral encounters. Why get hot and bothered at that hour?

6. As of this hour: no longer mathematically possible.

Cuomo+Sliwa still falls short of Mamdani's totals

9. Mamdani beat the combined Cuomo-Sliwa vote and did so convincingly

Those two idiots along with Trump were just rearranging the deck chairs.

3. Honestly, props to him for screwing Cuomo

And Trump in the process. He is one weird dude.

4. Much more important is the defeat of Cuomo and the forces behind him.

5. Of course, but Sliwa was personal, and I relish his electoral stomped-into-oblivion-hood

7. So all the republicans voted for Cuomo, or they didn't vote?

That’s Cuomo’s legacy. He ended as the unsuccessful Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City.

What a dick.

8. Is he still wearing that stupid red Guardian Angels beret?

That alone should reduce his vote total.

10. Oh, yeah. It's how anybody recognizes him. I'd have never guessed who was picking up the paper...

...alongside me if he hadn't been wearing that dumb thing.
