Dietl and Massey will tie for South Brooklyn votes. Bay Ridgeites will love Dietl. Marine Park folks will like Massey, they remind him of a blue collar boy who grew up and became fairly wealthy.

Massey does not know about some of the issues facing New Yorkers because he has been living in Westchester County. He'd best run for Westchester County Executive after Astorino in 2021 than for mayor.

Black Republicans may go for Massey, Dietl has said some Trumpian things. However, Dietl is more charismatic than Massey. Massey is a Republican in the mold of Charlie Baker, Mitt Romney, and Michael Bloomberg, but centrist.

Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island), a white ethnic Republican Greek woman, is considering running for mayor if businessman and fellow Greek, John Catsimidis decides not to run.

http://www.silive.com/news/2017/04/malliotakis_ill_run_for_mayor.html




She'd easily be the best candidate for the GOP. Not that any of them will win but still

I don't doubt she would be the best candidate but i haven't really heard anything about her running other than a few news stories and I she might make it close but i don't think she'd win.

Malliotakis vs. De Blasio is Lean D. Malliotakis could do well with female voters in Queens--the ultimate swing voters in NYC.

Your commentary on this election has been a string of hilariously delusional and/or misinformed statements. I applaud your efforts at humor.

Can anyone explain why Rocky is running as a Republican?  I saw that someone said he apparently had private polls saying he would win the primary, but was that the only reason?

As someone who lives near NYC, I know some women that do not like De Blasio. That is why his approval ratings is mediocre. Female voters-middle class female voters are the swing vote in New York.

Billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis is considering running for mayor, will make a decision either tonight or early Monday morning, via Politico. Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis has vowed that she would withdraw from the mayoral election if Cats runs. Cats almost gave 2013 GOP mayoral nominee Joe Lhota a run.

NYC Republicans don't want Bo Dietl around the city Republican Party. They call him toxic after some comments about New York City First Lady Chirlaine McCray De Blasio and other baggage from the past. Dietl may have more baggage than the person he voted for, President Trump.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/nyc-gop-leaders-show-no-support-bo-dietl-mayoral-candidacy-article-1.3135051

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bo-dietl-accused-pulling-journalist-private-info-fox-execs-article-1.3096379

He says that Paul Massey is a white bread establishment country club Republican candidate. He is. He is like Charlie Baker and Mitt Romney.

With Dietl vowing to run as an Independent, he could pull away some white ethnic outerborough Italian and Irish voters who think Massey is Romney/Bloomberg 2.0 in the fall.

I wonder if Dietl could get 15% as an independent in New York City.

Massey has not voted in years according to NY records. He recently moved to NYC. I don't think he understands NYC politics.

Well, for one thing he's a Republican in NYC.

Malliotakis and Catsimatidis are the only candidates I would easily support in this race.

Dietl sounds like a loon and Massey is an HP, it seems.

This is relevant I believe (Quinnipiac):

1. If the election for Mayor were being held today, and the candidates were Bill de Blasio the Democrat, and Paul Massey the Republican, for whom would you vote?
             
              Total:    Bronx     Kings      Man       Qns     St.Isl
de Blasio:  63%      68%       62%        72%      59%  44%
Massey:     21%      17%       21%        13%      24%  40%

2. If the election for Mayor were being held today, and the candidates were Bill de Blasio the Democrat, and Nicole Malliotakis the Republican, for whom would you vote?
              Total:      Brnx     Kings     Man     Qns      St.Isl
de Blasio:  64%    71%    61%      74%    58%         43%
Malliotakis: 21%   15%    21%     13%    25%          46%



6. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Bill de Blasio is handling his job as Mayor?

Approve: 60%
Disapprove: 34%

I'm a little surprised that de Blasio's approval rating is that high, to be honest, but he'll win the vote of a lot of people who disapprove. As the poll suggests, the final result should be de Blasio winning somewhere between 65 and 70% of the vote unless something substantial changes (including a new GOP candidate and not a sacrificial lamb like Malliotakis or, even worse, Massey).

Yeah. This is my first time following NYC politics and from what nearly everyone on this site was saying I thought de Blasio would be in more trouble than this. I also find it interesting how he holds up in Staten Island against Massey.

Massey is a carpetbagger who doesn't understand NYC politics. He'll win the wealthy Northern Bronx and Forest Hills, and some wealthy NYC conservative areas, but that's about it.

Well, it's clear now and has been for at least the past three-four months (I live in NYC) that de Blasio is going to win reelection. The opportunity for a significant challenge in the Democratic primary passed around January (the last chance was if Clinton had decided to throw her hat in, but by the time she was being discussed, no one else was a threat to de Blasio and she was only a threat because of her enormous presence), and the Republicans never had much chance of unseating him, even when he was quite unpopular, without at the least a divisive Democratic primary and a much stronger candidate than a random Staten Island Assemblywoman or random rich people. That said, I don't have the impression that he has become popular, more that people don't feel as passionately negatively about him as they used to. And I'm sure the Democrats are experiencing some rally-round-the-flag effects in the Trump era also.

The final result will look about like 2013, maybe slightly narrower.

It looks like Assemblywoman Malliotakis is the clear frontrunner in NYC GOP primary. Massey didn't even live in the city until in 2015, he only worked in the city, and commuted back home to Westchester County.

Turnout may be very, very low in September 12's primary, and on Election Day, November 7.

2021 may be the big year in NYC politics like it was in 2013 after 12 years of Bloomberg.

How have de Blasio's approval ratings got so much better? I thought they were bad and he was possibly facing a primary challenge.

His approval ratings jumped back because some like his economic record and the anti-Trump resistance in NYC.
