I think Rudy’s been the same joke since 2016.

Look, Rudy, even in his diminished capacity, could probably make a better mayor than what came after him.

[jon-nyc]

Bloomberg was a great mayor.

[Jolly]

Better even than Bill?

[jon-nyc]

That’s a pretty low bar.

[Mik]

What do you think of Evans?

[jon-nyc]

You mean Adams?

I think he was better than the alternatives. (Though I like Yang and think he’s useful to the conversation, I prefer him on a national stage).

But I don’t pay too much attention to city politics anymore.

[Jolly]

Y'all need to, as the Big Apple seems like it has more than its usual share of problems. I can't understand why they let Bill hang around so long...

I'm off Yang. My impression after New York was that he's a lightweight, possibly doesn't understand the severity of the problems faced by the US, and also that he didn't seem like he worked that hard during the NY campaign.

[jon-nyc]

Running NY would have been a disaster for his career.

I don’t particularly want him in any office. But I like him and he adds a lot to the political conversation. I hope he’s successful in his current effort to push non-partisan primaries. It could save our republic.

[Jolly]

Lived through jungle primaries. It may not be the panacea you seek.
