What is your opinion of the quote by the late Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari, who said New York City will NEVER elect another Republican again:

Quote
Expanding on remarks he first made to the Staten Island Advance, Molinari said the election of Mayor Giuliani on the Republican and Liberal lines in 1993 was “an aberration.”

“It’s just a political fact of life,” added Molinari, one of the mayor’s closest allies. “Our base has moved out to New Jersey and Connecticut and been replaced by Democrats.”

A lot of people think that Paul Vallas (Chicago), Rick Caruso (Los Angeles) and Eric Adams (New York City) are Republicans masquerading as Democrats, but they are moderate Democrats who appeal to conservative and moderate voters who live in cities.

Is Molinari's 1999 quote valid? Will Rudy Giuliani and others be the last Republican mayors EVER?

I don't think it's a freedom quote or a horrible quote, I think that it's just a somewhat accurate (if oversimplified) observation.

So you agree that Giuliani, Schundler, Riordan, etc. are the last Republicans ever to be mayor of those big cities, that they are aberrations, flukes? 

Cities have been Democratic-run since the founding of the country anyway....
