trump is trying to fix or interfere in New York Mayor's race by getting Eric Adams and perhaps Silva to drop out

4. Curtis Sliwa

For DU-ers not in the NYC Metropolitan area, allow me to tell you about Republican nominee, Curtis Sliwa.

Trump ain't gonna get Sliwa to bow out and come to work for him.

For one thing, Sliwa has ALWAYS been a Never Trumper. He's said it multiple times when he's broadcast on RW hate radio, WABC. (Matter of fact, the station has been called Always Broadcasting Curtis for decades.

For another thing, Sliwa is one of those who is in love with the sound of his own voice. Joining Trump, he'd be uncomfortably stifled. He doesn't talk. He bloviates.

For another thing, Sliwa is the founder and head of The Guardian Angels. (They're seen either as heroes or vigilantes.) He's too independent to accept this "offer".

For another thing, Sliwa is just overly opinionated and not frequently based on accurate information.

Little known fact about Sliwa on 9/11: Both towers had been hit and had collapsed. And there was Curtis Sliwa, shouting into the microphone, and broadcasting not only on WABC, but on 1050 as well. (WEVD was sold to Disney 10 days prior and Disney owned both stations.) Sliwa was foaming at the mouth for at least six hours. His outrage was focused on "How DARE you attack MY city???!!!" It added to the surrealism of the day. Let's say his presentation didn't calm anyone down.

So, no. While I believe the NYC Republicans would let him go in a heartbeat as he's polling 13%, I also believe Sliwa's ego would not allow him to bow out of the race, that he would rather lose than to retreat.
