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

[ON Progressive]

Calling it, 57-43 Cuomo primary win

I think it will be closer to sixty or slightly over. I have a very hard time seeing Nixon break 40

I don't. I can't Imagine any Sanders voters going to Cuomo, and this is a really good year for Sanders Democrats. 57% might be generous, but I'm sticking with it.

Sanders voters aren’t necessarily Nixon voters though. She’ll win the majority of them most
likely, but far from all of them.

[Duke of York]

Disappointing from Bernie.

Perhaps he didn't think like many others that replacing a two term governor with a actress who has no clear plan or any understanding of how government works is a good idea.

Or, more likely, he knows shes not going to win, so why give an endorsement to a losing candidate.

Not in statewide elections.  The final poll has Cuomo at 63 percent. I can't see the margin being that different. Polling has been largely on the dot for statewide elections thus far.

Elections are different than primaries, and in that case, the opposite is true, they have been rather off, but they still call the correct winner.

give an example where they were off

[President Johnson]

I think Cuomo will win 68-32%.

I dont think it will be quite that high but based on the final poll i predict Cuomo 65-35

Most polls had Gillum in the margin of error by primary day.

MN-GOP, MN-DEM, FL-DEM,MA-GOP,CA, CT-GOP, just to name some off the top of my head where the margins was off by a longshot or the underdog won.

No they didnt, thats a straight up falsehood.

Graham was ahead in all of the polls, by high singles and double digits, except for two polls. A surveyUSA poll that tied her with Levine, and Gillum's internal.

I love how I thought of Florida before my own races lol

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Disappointing from Bernie.

[Donerail]

Most polls had Gillum in the margin of error by primary day.

the only polls that captured Gillum breaking out of the teens — or really showing any positive motion — were the final St. Pete poll (Florida's only decent pollster) and his own internal.

& yeah, very disappointing move by Bernie. no idea why he expects anything he does to curry any favor with andrew fking cuomo, or what he expects to gain from this.

Because hes going to run in 2020 and he wants to win NY in the primary so hes not going to double cross Cuomo

[BudgieForce]

Has Bernie Sanders actually ever endorsed a primary challenge against an incumbent?

[Zaybay]

Has Bernie Sanders actually ever endorsed a primary challenge against an incumbent?

one, Newman against Lipinski. Sanders has only endorsed in open primaries, which actually makes sense, why obtain bad favor with fellow Dems? And why be labeled as someone driving a wedge in the D party?

you are placing a remarkable amount of faith in andrew cuomo's sense of fairness

oh I'm not but. NY is a corrupt establishment machine state through and through and if Sanders is going to run again...you just cant cross Cuomo.

That bagel is an insult to god.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I just looked up what lox is.

WHO THE F[INKS] EATS THAT ON A BAGEL?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Sorry for my silly question, but why does Nixon want to run for governor anyway? Is it supposed a statement against Cuomo's public policy anyway?

[MAINEiac4434]

It's quite popular among Jewish communities.

Lox or smoked salmon is delicious on a plain bagel with cream cheese.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of capers, but I can see why some people would like them.

It's the cinnamon raisin part that's absolutely throwing me for a loop.

[BudgieForce]

Lox on a cinnamon raisin bagel is cultural appropriation and I'm offended. /s

But seriously, dont ruin good lox with a flavored bagel. A plain bagel or a bagel with a plain base(onion, sesame, garlic...etc)work best.

Capers are great on a bagel, esp with onion, cream cheese, and lox. Tomato is a  bit extra, but the cinnamon raisin is insane - cin-raisin is barely acceptable on its own, but with lox, it's just awful.


budgie - garlic? that's crazy dude.... poppy seed all the way

This is crazier than Kerry's swiss cheesesteak
