Are the wheels coming off any campaign for Nicole Molly O'bupkis ???


What do you think when you read something like this:


"....  Malliotakis – a vocal opponent of President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda – is trying to be the Republican Congressional candidate for the 11th District in New York to take on incumbent Rep. Max Rose in next year’s general election. Her campaign has failed to gain momentum in its early stages, and now it is in jeopardy of falling apart due to this bribery scandal...."

                      --- by Joshua Finkelberg from "The Schpiel"


That's just one of the multiple stories about Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis' staff-challenged operation of late (See:  "Putz:  Malliotakis Congressional Campaign in Shambles as Campaign's Mob Ties are Revealed  --  Her Primary Opponent, Joey "Salads" is Now the Candidate to Beat"  by Joshua Finkelberg,  10/4/19   [https://theschpiel.com/politics/malliotakis-congressional-campaign-in-shambles-as-campaigns-alleged-mob-ties-are-revealed/]).

In case you missed it, one of Nicoles' most recent staff hires,  is widely reported to have been arrested and turned out looking a little "mobbed up."  It's all because of a federal probe of  local mob operations to fix NCAA basketball games.....

Nicole "M" (no relation to the "M" in the James Bond) quickly threw her latest staff guy,  Benjamin Bifalco,  under the buss  ---  leaving everybody to question why he was even on her bus in the first place.....

Nicole's Republican Primary opponent,  Joseph Saladino,  aka "Joey Salads,"  was quick to make hay while the sun was still shining.  He was quoted as saying:  “This is just another item in the long list of her political history that makes her unqualified to hold a political office, especially in the House of Representatives....”

Hasn't Nicole heard of "vetting" potential staff hires ? ---  Or was she >>>told<<< to hire this jamoke  ??  ---  Or is it all Greek to her ???

Don't that beat all.  Yuh, just can't make this stuff up !!!

There aint gonna be no Republican primary. Nicole wins like she always does.

Borelli and Grimm are just trying to pick which ones going to challenge her. She’s not as tough to beat as people thought in the beginning. Either one of them guys wins easy.

Craig Eaton should take pity on Nicole and help her out before it’s too late. She needs help it’s time to clean house. When you’re despised by all other GOP electeds on the island and when you set a record for most staff members lost in the fastest period of time one of them to an FBI raid, you are either taking terrible advice or don’t have anyone who can give you good advice. It’s time Craig and Nicole let bygones be bygones and work together to take back the seat.

Maybe Salads should wear a red beret

Nicole is an accomplished legislator.

Salads not so much.

She hired Fossella's nephew, thinking it would help repair relations with the South Shore He-Man Women Hater's Club. Then he got indicted, so she fired him.

Her real problem is authenticity. The Trumpies know she is not one of them, and independent-minded voters (ticket-splitters in the trade) know she's whoring herself out to the Trumpies.

The perfect lose-lose approach.

Are we taking bets on then Eaton and GM say Eaton is "choosing" not to help Nicole when Nicole really wants him nowhere near her??

Anonymous said...

Did somebody say Nicole was an 'accomplished legislator'?
Accomplished what?

Anonymous said...

This is why Nicole is four times prominent with almost everybody.
The Medial Malliotakis is the prominence on the inside of each ankle, and the Lateral Malliotakis is the prominence on the outside of each ankle.
As you can see, she is both a very accomplished and very prominent legislatrix.
Too bad Ben Gazzara is not available to campaign with Nicole. He was both a prominent and accomplished actor.

Nicole's well known "brain" trust tried to pull the rug right out from under Sara her old chief of staff by hiring this guy to replace her and kiss up to the Fossellas. Don't talk about women haters club when it was her team that expected Sara to take a pay cut mover over to the campaign side and still do the job for the new chief of staff. Anybody and everybody slightly familiar with SI political circles knew there was no way this kid was ready for a job with so much responsibility. That's Nicole's problem in a nutshell, absolutely zero loyalty to the people that matter, and only to one or two people who continue to destroy her career. If she don't learn from her mistakes faster she'll be lucky to beat Salads and will get crushed by Max.

Grimm said he wont run. Nicole trounces Rose.

Anonymous said...

Nicole is a train wreck. She cant keep staff, people think she is nasty and rude, she is up Kassar's ass all the time, the SI electeds hate her and cant wait for her to lose AGAIN....the same problems she had in the Mayor's race, and look how that ended up.

She embrassed herself and the party.

Please Joe or Mike, step into this race and take Max out? Pretty please?

Anonymous said...

Lots of folks respect Nicole's decision to keep trouble makers and has been like Eaton, Capano, and Chamberas away from her campaign

Anonymous said...

Why can't Ben Gazzara get a good role anymore?

Anonymous said...

4:51 is right. Please can we get a real candidate to run against Max Rose? People keep saying she got Washington’s support but even they got to eventually see the writing on the wall. Nobody like her. She’s not beating Max Rose. Joe or Mike please run. We need this seat and it looks like everybody resign to just throw it away.

So little Nicky Chambers has been reduced to writing op eds for little blogs now that he has been kicked out of Nicole's orbit.

RESPONSE: THE "LOGIC OF 'BEEN REDUCED TO WRITING... BEEN KICKED OUT OF NICOLE'S ORBIT....' " EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:51 AM"

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT NICK CHAMBERAS HAS SOMEHOW BEEN >>>REDUCED<<< BY EITHER DOING AN OP-ED PIECE FOR KCP OR NO LONGER BEING IN NICOLE'S ORBIT --- OR ARE YOU SUGGESTING SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY --- OR ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL ???

They say that the syntax of syntax is logic..... Well, at least Rudolf Carnap did.

Without getting too far into the weeds, the words that you used and the way that you put them together didn't make any sense. Nobody can agree or disagree with what you are trying to say, because nobody can reasonably make out what you are trying to say.

Your main thought or idea might be about Nick Chamberas; or someone called 'Nicole'; or writing op-eds for little blogs; or being kicked out of an orbit; or being reduced from something to something else; or none of that.

Until you clear this up, hang by your thumbs and write if you get work.....

Nicole has an orbit?

Nicole needs to hand the keys to her campaign over Liam before she drives her car into a tree. Liam is the only one who can correct course.

Anonymous said...

Nicole doesn't have a husband or a significant other of any kind, so instead of 17 cats, she has an orbit, or at least an eccentric and not clearly defined something called an 'orbit'.

Even Liam would be better than Jerry.

No one can trust Liam with messaging, communications, targeting, strategy, or anything else of consequence. He has no experience in those areas.

1156 and/or 908 is Nicky, Bobby, or Craig upset they are persona non grata in Nicole's campaign and the hottest congressional race in America..

Let's wait for one of them to say craig has all these plans to take over NYC in 2028 because it's always about unnamed people he is talking about for some future thing...he didnt even have the balls to publicly say anything against Golden last year when everyone knows how he feels about Golden..Cats told him to keep his mouth shut and he did.....how embarrassing for a former "chairman"

Anonymous said...

Nicole Malliotakis doesn't have an orbit or an inner circle left, for several years now she has found herself isolated more and more each year. People who were most loyal to her and not her campaign bank accounts, were run off by Gerry or simply couldn't take it any more and abandoned her. RNC going to have a huge problem soon, as her questionable judgment will cause big problems. They're either going to have to step in and literally appoint her a campaign staff, or their investment in her campaign is going to give them nothing but a big loss and a bigger headache.

Anonymous said...

Ghorra & Maresca your team for the 60s...

No, wait a minute, that was either Nixon & Lodge or Kennedy & Johnson.

Speaking of the 60s, why did Ernest Borgnine take the gig in McHale's Navy after winning an Academy Award only a few years before. His movie work was always top notch; his performance as Det. Lt. Mike Rogo in the movie version of Paul Gallico's "Poseidon Adventure" was perhaps his best work. The scene after his wife, played by Stella Stevens, died was pitch perfect, and probably contributed to that epic film's winning of two Oscars, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.

Unlike Ben Gazzara, Ernie Borgnine had many great roles in many great movies. In that regard, even though John Cassavetes and Telly Savalas were both in "The Dirty Dozen"; Ernie Borgnine got one of the honorific parts in that movie, but Ben Gazzara got nothing, losing out to such Hollywood legends as Colin Maitland, Stuart Cooper and Al Mancini.

9:58 Hottest race in the country? If that was the case, Sara her chief of staff wouldn’t have resigned suddenly and in disgust. The hangers on can’t stand Craig’s friendship with Cats, as they were seen hanging out together again last week at different events. Who hangs out with a billionaire more than once a week if they’re not good friends?

Maybe you also didn’t know that not only did Sara run far and fast from the “hottest race in the country” her original long time chief of staff reportedly was begged and offered a handsome sum to run the campaign but instead ran in the opposite direction. Mighty strange she didn’t offer her groupies anything but resorted to years back in the Rolodex to try and find somebody.

Anonymous said...

Cats told Golden on the phone not too long ago that Eaton calls his office begging to get invited with Cats to events...speaking of "groupies" Eaton is known as a Cats groupie to those around him.
I guess Eaton does this so he can post here and on facebook how supposedly close he is with cats... except cats doesn't listen to Eaton on the real stuff (see Golden endorsement last year)

RESPONSE: THE "ONLY REASON FOR THE ABOVE..." EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 6:16 AM"

THE ONLY REASON THAT I DIDN'T BLOCK THE ABOVE ITEM OF 100% "FAKE NEWS" IS THAT I WANTED TO USE IT AS A DEMONSTRATION COMMENT --- AND TO STATE CLEARLY THAT NOTHING AS PATENTLY FALSE AS WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOVE WILL BE PERMITTED IF I RECOGNIZE IT AS SUCH AND IF I SEE NO USEFUL PURPOSE IN ITS PUBLICATION

Whatever it might have been that Marty Golden told you, if he spoke to you at all (which I doubt), your comment only indicates that Marty might continue to be obsessed with Craig Eaton, and Craig's potential to openly re-enter the fray against Golden or any Golden surrogate or ally at any moment. That could be openly, or like in 2018 with stealth, cunning and telling effect.

Anonymous said...

So more threats of an Eaton anonymous, under the radar, potential, maybe getting involved in something in the future...time to put big boys pants on and if going to do something do it publicly with your name and face attached to it!! Otherwise it's all hat and no cattle while the real players in GOP/Consevative politics in NYC continue to do their work..

Anonymous said...

Gale thank you for pointing out that the Golden Cats stuff is fake news. Cats endorsed Golden last year with less than a week to go after consulting with Craig. John didn’t know there would be a blowout in the Senate and didn’t want to be blamed if Golden loss caused GOP to lose majority. John and Craig remain close he even went to Craig Eaton’s son’s wedding last week.
All this fake news because Nicole has been sternly warned not to bring Craig to the campaign, but she’s running out of options and hasn’t been given anything she’s been promised. The last thing they gave her was the disastrous deal to get rid of Sara and bring on an alleged Colombo associate as her new chief of staff. Imagine how hard it’s gonna be to recruit staff who wants to work for a lady who’s judgment is so bad she hires employees who are accused of taking part in vicious beatdowns as a dispute resolution technique.

Anonymous said...

Eaton left in 2016 and they still comment about him which means they fear him......

He left in epic form and embarrassed everyone, and in the very next election Golden and Donovan lost, under the "leadership" of the folicly challenged Gorra.

Gorra is a waste, plain and simple. Cant raise money, has no events and everyone knows he is only a pawn of Kassar.

People associated with Marty, Nicole and Jerry Kassar have a very good reason to fear Craig Eaton, because he can hurt his declared and undeclared >>>enemies<<< merely by letting some of the right people know that he is doing >>>nothing<<< for the aforementioned trio.

Actually accomplishing something by doing nothing --- NOW, THAT'S REAL POWER.....

Malliotakis would love to have Craig helping her campaign but she’s burned too many bridges with too many people. Even Cats is tired of her antics. It’s only a matter of time before RNC dumps her and asks Borelli to jump in. Watch what happens after the Public Advocate race. She can give jobs to each of the heads of the five families, the triads and the yakuza too and that won’t save her. Unless another candidate gets in this race, Max going to win yuge.

Hold your horse, 807, like you've put it in the wrong place completely.

This is a hole and donut kind of thing: ".... Watch what happens after the Public Advocate race...." That'll be like picking up a knuckleball after it rolls still against the backstop.

If you were really sharp, you should have said, "Watch what Borelli does during the Public Advocate race. If his special election campaign for NYCPA is largely pursued inside the boundaries of CD-11, then you already know what will happen AFTER the Public Advocate race."

10:46 Joe has been branching out making appearances in Queens lately but it’s well known RNC holding him back from Congressional race. DC taking another look after recent events like hiring reputed mafia associates, a staff exodus led by a chief of staff who went to work for another congressional campaign instead, and the RNC needing to suddenly step in the help boost what would have been a disappointing filing. All the bragging about how much McCarthy is supporting Nicole etc. and how they’ll invest millions im her is an oxymoron. McCarthy backed her because they were hoping she could keep her share of the bargain and raise substantial amounts of money so that would free up money for other races. If they’re already having to step in to help her raise money doesn’t seem like the same strong candidate anymore. RNC may be revisiting this soon and Joe might get in the race.

YOUR COMMENT DIDN'T PASS THE SMELL TEST --- SO WE'LL CALL MOST OF YOURS "FAKE NEWS" --- BY NOW THE FOLKS SHOULD KNOW WHEN YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT UP OR HAVING A WANK


Only a pair of fools would be laughing at Craig Eaton if they cared one wit about winning anything in 2020 and 2021. Then again, I'll bet that you think that "... Lear" is one of the Bard's comedies.

The best that Golden, Ghorra, and Kassar can hope for is that Craig Eaton becomes a sleeping tiger, instead of a crouching one poised to pounce --- AGAIN. And with people like you always pokin'- pokin'- pokin' at Eaton, you only keep him awake and leaning more and more forward in the starting blocks.

But who knows, maybe all your "fake news" comments about Craig might goad him into going all "Fatal Attraction" on you, and Marty, and Ted, and Jerry, and maybe even Nicole. That could be lots of fun for my good buddy Justin and his band of Sherwood Foresters.

Just because they are in your dreams doesn't make Nicole & Marty a dream team.

The current outlook for the GOP and its candidates in 2020 is not clear. Nicole and Marty are an odd couple at best.

If Nicole doesn't see that Marty, Ted and Jerry are absolute parasites, she doesn't belong in politics or public life, and she would be little more than John Q in a dress, but with better past form.
