Actress Cynthia Nixon of Sex and the City to run for NY Governor

[Beet]

Cuomo moped the floor with Nixon, who was very arrogant and not likeable. She's a phony who has little knowledge of governing.

I agree completely. I just hope the people of my state and city see it that way.

Don't worry, Cuomo is a lock. This year has proven the Democrats still have not gotten over their woman problem when it comes to large state Governorships. And if Clinton losing won't do it, nothing will.

[Duke of York]

Forgive me if this has already been said but what is the likelihood of the IDC incumbents being defeated?

It's basically guaranteed that some, but not all, will be defeated. Alcantara and Perlata, and possibly Avella, are generally seen as underdogs, while Hamilton and Klein are in the fights of their lives. Carlucci and Valesky are favored, while Savino is virtually safe.

If the IDC is reduced to 1 member, then it will be a glorious day. Nixon winning her primary would be even better, especially considering how much of a slime bag Cuomo is.

Id rather not have a someone as Governor who knows absolutely nothing about politics or what the job entails and is rude and arrogant to boot.

If she wins the Lt. Governor Primary Kathy Hochul will probably run when Cuomo retires.

seriously, there was like, 1 question about governance. The rest were about issues, and Cuomo skipped most of those. And Im pretty sure the guy who keeps insulting her, "Corperate""Socialist", and is against the teachers is not someone I want in the governors seat. Even Baker sides with the teachers.

He is not against teachers and I dont want someone who is rude and pompous and has no idea how anything works in the governors seat.  She did not lay out a single policy plan. All she had was talking points and no real plan. Definitely someone I want as governor

Yes he is, he said that he didnt support the teacher's strikes, something that even Baker has supported. And I dont know where you keep getting that she was rude and pompous.

Well, she interrupted him all the time and often made false claims about him. Cuomo remained cool and countered skillfully with his knowledge. All she made were talking points and failed to explain how she would implement anything. She's certainly not up to the job of running a 20 million people state with a 180 billion dollar budget.

That’s a good criticism of Cuomo.

Cuomo did the same thing to her, and she was right, he was lying, according to outside eyes. And from what the audience on twitter, youtube and in the actual debate, it seems that Nixon was controlling the flow. Kinda reminded me of Sanders Vs Clinton, or Trump Vs Clinton.

[Kodak]

The average viewer watched both candidates interrupt each other, accuse each other of being the same things, and claim they were supporting the same communities better than each other. Cuomo supporters assumed Cuomo was right about Nixon and Nixon supporters assumed Nixon was right about Cuomo. The undecided voter learned very little except that both candidates hate each other's guts and Cuomo doesn't have a way with words.

He hardly interrupted and reminded her in a polite way not do so while he was talking. She also failed to give concrete answers to policy questions; Cuomo had a clear advantage and stayed on message. Sometimes it seemed as if she didn't know basic things. In addition, Nixon couldn't answer or retreated when the governor asked her about tax returns of the last 20 years (something he did). Same with the favors for Bloomberg and friends from the movie business that she couldn't remember of etc.

Being governor is more than just giving speeches and making talking points, and Cynthia Nixon did not make the impression that she is capable of running a state government. Cuomo on the other hand knew what he was talking about.

The only thing not great was the staffer, but Cuomo handled it well during the debate.

I completely disagree with this, but, as a previous poster notes, we may have just saw the debates differently.

Even in places where Nixon wasn't at the top of her game, Cuomo looked worse. During the whole "you are a corporation" scuffle, Nixon's response that she asked for helicopters not to fly over Shakespeare could've come off as out of touch if Cuomo wasn't desperately searching for an attack line.

Nixon was not perfect last night, but Cuomo outright shat the bed.

When have socialists ever cared about governing competently? Their favorite country was Venezuela, until, you know, it failed. Like all socialism does.

Just found some time to watch the debate. I was actually friendly towards Nixon's candidacy and may have voted for her if I were a NY resident. But the debate changed my mind. She was very rude and seemed unprepared for the office and the work on policy. I thought she was a fresh new face and alternative to the flawed Cuomo. I was wrong. I'd probably take a look at both again, but currently I lean towards keeping Cuomo in office. Reluctantly.

This, except I still would lean towards Nixon (reluctantly) and haven’t had time to watch the entire debate (although I saw some of it).

I mean if a debate is enough to make you turn a blind eye to corruption and complete mismanagement of the state of New York then you're lost.
