I thought with Adams likely to lose we might get someone with priniciples. But Cuomo has a NYC-ish personality and he will run his fiefdom with his usual inability to delegate to experts but more intelligence that most narcissists. He will at least not be a pawn of Trump. Trump it appears is trying to re-install his vassal Adams, so I find myself in the cynical position of supporting Cuomo if a better and more viable Democrat doesn't arise in the primaries.

I look back with nostlgia at the moment in history when it looked like Mark Green was going to become mayor before BLoomberg did an unprecedented blitzkieg of millions (billions) and commanded all his charities to fall in line for a squeeker of a victory that nontheless would likely not have happened if not for 9/11 on primary day and later debunked accusations by the Ferrer campaing against Greene.

We had a chance for real honest liberal instead of these weird hybrids that keep cropping up in a city that should have a string of progressive mayors.
