Adams has a real advantage. The best hope for Wiley/Garcia is that a lot of voters were turned off by Adams, esp in the race's final days, to leave him off their ballots entirely nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Garcia's alliance with Yang will likely bring her close to Adams. But since Adams and Wiley share so many of the same voters, it is better for Adams if Garcia makes to the final "round" than if Wiley does nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The last few days have shown exactly what kind of mayor each of the four remaining candidates would be nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Garcia and Yang never had a deal to rank each other as the other's number 2. But Yang, with his kid-in-a-candy-store excitement and Garcia, with her mother-of-a-kid-in-a-candy-story reserve, few were surprised it went the way it did:nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Wait, I am actually most confused by this part of the story. What exactly are they doing over there?
There are 15 days until the election and some of the best known writers in America are doing a live action role play of the various factions of the American electorate? Where are they going with this?
The mystery deepens. Latest version omits those details
Reminder: On Feb 28, coronavirus cases topped 84,000. Experts said a global pandemic was inevitable. Stock market had its worst week since 2008.
And Donald Trump held a rally in South Carolina to troll the Democrats who were holding their primary. Excerpts below
"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue."
"One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over"
On the cover of this issue of @NYMag: How @AOC became the most significant political figure in Liberal America in the Age of Trump nymag.com/intelligencer/…
@NYMag@AOC Her office is covered with thousands of fan notes "I love you from Maine! Keep on with your fierce, informed queen of a self!,” “AOC! Seeing you is seeing me! I live in Michigan, but you are my representative,” & "Dear AOC. Continue to scare old white men" nymag.com/intelligencer/…
@NYMag@AOC She is tweeted about more than every Dem running for president. There is already a children’s book about her, a comic-book series about her, a wall calendar, a book of quotes, and this holiday season, an Xmas sweater with her face on it. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
