I didn't know NY politics were supposed to be a race to the bottom

Trump, appearing on an Albany radio station this morning, said he is ready, willing and able to run for governor but will not do so if Astorino or anybody else enters the race. From one point of view, sounds like a fair deal: He's told us how to keep him out of the race.
But I also wonder: Does he expect to run unopposed by Democrats? What kind of candidate would he be in the general with zero campaign experience? And I guess my third question is rhetorical: Considering he has nothing to lose, and unlike most New Yorkers, he can move if the Democrat wins, is there any limit to his narcissistic ego?
To: Olog-hai
The minimum qualifying question for the GOP Governor nominee should not be "is he better than Mario Jr. Cuomo?"
If that's the baseline, we can just nominate the soon-to-be-out-of-work rearend of a Central Park carriage puller.

The thing is he is demanding to be unopposed. I hope a half dozen people run.

If it keeps him from running for President, I’m for it.

A demand is only as good as the response.
People commit all the time prior to an election.

Do a little research. In the 2010 Democrat primary Gillibrand ran against Gail Goode. She won with just over 75% of the vote.
Link Trump demands a free ride to the nomination. He isn't will to run if opposed. That is entirely different from the example you gave.
To: Olog-hai
Season 14 of “Celebrity Apprentice” starts filming in a couple months. This fits the standard timing for when Trump always starts making controversial political noises that up his public visibility and TV ratings. Same as it ever was.

If it keeps him from running for President, Im for it. So the Republicans hand Trump the nomination. All the Democrats have to do is pull some strings with their media buddies, haves one of the networks tell Trump that they're picking up "Celebrity Apprentice" for the season, Trump immediately drops out of the race, and Cuomo breezes into another term unopposed.

Even if he got elected what can he do....the senate is controlled by the rats..I got out in 1980....It will go broke under Cuomo...

That struck me too.
If Donald wants to run, he can do so. But he needs to compete in a primary or the convention with other candidates.
If the power of his personality/convictions/ideals are compelling, he will win the primary, right?
And the same is true of the general election, if he can convince the people including Democrats, in Democrat leaning New York, to vote for him.
I think it’s great if he wants to run, but, he’s got to get out there and deal with the whole process, as any other politician does.
To: Olog-hai
He has more of a chance of being a president than a governor of New Yuk.

Haha! The Trumpster is back...
He makes libs’ heads explode. A lot of people think he’s a pompous ass... I think he’s excellent at what he does.

We have a saying here, if she’s from Skokie she has pokies. Ruben would be well aware of this.
