Nicole Malliotakis obtained just over 70% of the GOP primary vote --- or about 13,000 votes out of 19,000 cast --- whereas Joseph Caldarera garnered almost 30% of that vote with about 5,500 votes
Nicole did substantially better in Brooklyn than she did in Staten Island
People can look at this and see whatever they want.....
People can look at this and say whatever they want.....
What I'm sayin' is I think that if a third of Republican voters on Staten Island would rather vote for an unknown "Anybody but Nicole" candidate in a GOP primary, she needs to mend her fences fast --- or else she'll need to learn "Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Sheep" by heart.

Wow yet another loss for Liam in a race he is involved with. Kepi was destroyed by Tannousis. I lost count on his losses, but include his own big loss to John Q in 2017, then with Ulrich in the Public Advocate Special Election, then with Michael Grimm in the big loss to Donovan in the primary and now with Kepi. Sure I am forgetting some. When do people realize Liam is not cut for politics. And he thinks he is the GOP candidate for City Council in 2021 against Brannan- ahahahahahahaha
IT MEAN BROOKLYN REMOVE KEBAB KEPI
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "FOR SOME IT LOOKS 'TOO CLOSE TO CALL' --- FOR MOST IT LOOKS LIKE TOONCES" EDITION
The huge number of paper ballets yet to be counted in the Marko Kepi-Michael Tannousis primary probably keeps this race formally in the "too close to call" category.
However, the SI GOP has called this one for "Toonces the Driving Cat," because his lead in the votes already counted (about a thousand} seems insurmountable without some kind of outside metaphysical intervention for Mr. Kepi.
More important, the size of Marko Kepi's vote in Staten Island looks like another big "hole in the boat" for Tannousis and Malliotakis going forward, unless some quick patching gets done.
Another loss for Liam...who managed a campaign that spent a quarter of a million dollars on a primary only to get trounced by a candidate who would generously be described as lackluster.
There is much to unpack from last night and what it means for us taking back NY 11 in November but the main thing everyone is talking about today is that Kepi got grilled like a kebab and Liam and John Q are absolutely flushed down the toilet. Marty went all out for Kepi and Kepi got grilled like kebab. The lesson here is - the people who really helped Marty win were not with Kepi but with Michael J. Tannousis
To the 621 AM. Liam did not lose in the Kepi Race. Liam's crooked crew was also involved in Nicole's team and Nicole was supporting Tannousis. Once again Liam and his crew stuck thier noses into both sides of a race and made some $$$.
WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THIS IS A LOSS FOR LIAM??. HE WAS INVOLVED IN BOTH SIDES OF KEPI RACE AND WAS THE MASTERMIND. WHEN WAS THE LAST RACE THAT LIAM AND HIS CREW ONLY HELPED ONE CANDIDATE AND NOT THEIR OPPONENT AS WELL

IS LIAM MC CABE REALLY THAT BIG A PART OF THIS STORY ?
CAN'T WE GO MORE THAN A DAY AFTER THE 2020 GOP PRIMARY WITHOUT MUCKING UP THE FEUDS OF THE 2017 PRIMARY ???
I get it..... There are a few factions in what's left of the Brooklyn GOP --- one of those is with Liam McCabe --- and the other factions just love giving Liam a few kidney punches on the "breaks" while the refs are distracted with other things.....
However, Republicans in 2020 have much bigger problems with emergent urgency than getting a few licks in on Liam.
If anybody cares about holding Nicole's bi-county assembly seat, or squeezing Nicole through into a seat in congress, all the internecene nit-picking in the Brooklyn GOP needs to be put away for another day.
Maybe "Q" - Liam - and Bob need to take a long lingering hot shower together with lots of foamy soap and both gentle and rough back rubs --- then, maybe they'll be able to see things a little differently.
Well, Liam certainly helped his opponents in the 2017 Council race. :-)
It's been said before, and bears repeating: you hire Liam and the Manhattan people to do lit drops and put up lawn signs. That's it. That's their expertise threshold.
As usual Liam played both sides and got caught doing it. Didja ever hear the story about that dog with 2 bones? No man can serve 2 masters. Liam has been exposed. Game over. Advantage: Malliotakis.
I agree with the others on here. The dedicated group who helped Marty stay in office all those years << and even helped prop him up when he had overstayed his welcome towards the end >> were all helping Tannousis camp. The sycophants and the grifters were in Marko camp and now the lines are drawn
Get out of here with the playing both sides stories. At Marko’s big Staten Island rally Liam was announced as the campaign manager. As for the Tannousis likely win, I’m hearing it was all Nicole’s Campaign that hustled for him and the Greeks in Bay Ridge who are still laughing at Ghorra and his fat friend for trying to act like they was in charge of anything.
GM you neee to understand that Nicole is a goner. Max Rose is no Joe Caldarera. Max has five times as much money on hand as Nicole and it’s only going to get worse. We might be able to keep the 64th because it has enough of the South Shore that would probably keep it in Republican hands.
1251 is correct..both liam and q lost..the only winner was Capano who was clearly with Nicole, none of this playing both sides BS...
RESPONSE: THE "BETWEEN THE LINES --- BUT OUTSIDE THE LINES" EDITION
TO: THE FEW COMMENTERS ABOVE THAT SUGGESTED THERE IS STILL A BAY RIDGE GREEK CONNECTION THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS
TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE --- IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE AS MANY "BAY RIDGE GREEKS" DOWN HERE IN DAYTONA AND ORMOND BEACHES IN FLORIDA AS THERE ARE STILL LEFT IN BAY RIDGE IN BROOKLYN
Whatever Greek contingent might still be in the old 'hood, isn't it likely that it would inure to the benefit of Andrew as much as to Nicole.
And remember this: IT'S OKAY TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES, BUT DON'T COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES.....
The new Max Rose video on Nicole is damning.
BAY RIDGE GREEK LIKE GYRO NO KEBAB
Nicole won by a landslide.
Liam definitely got caught trying to play both sides against each other because I heard it from several people. Let's just say I expect Liam will be making not-so-socially distanced visit to the Irish Haven shortly. Nicole is a goner. We all must rally around Assemblymember Tannousis and hang unto that state seat in the 64 th for as long as we can. We need to maintain a foot-hold here!
The results show Nicoles strength in Brooklyn. Roses back yard. Cruising to another victory for Nicole.
caldarera sounds like bagdad bob. telling people how great he did. he was beat 3 to 1.
907, their was no 'cruising' for Nicole yesterday and there will be even less cruising this fall. And 929, come November Nicole will be bloodier in Brooklyn than a raw steak or Megyn Kelly at a Trump debate.
Nicoles race is 2 campaigns. Brooklyn and Staten Island. The results show her Brooklyn operation is 100%.
2:21 YES Nicole helped Tannousis win but Morgan's GF, has a big role on Nicoles Team. That my friends is Collusion and interference. Much more clear evidence than Trump and Ukraine. Steeplechase strategies racking up cash and sticking noses every where
Kepi got slaughtered in Marty's backyard
I thought Liam's lispy voice overs on the Kepi YouTube commercials would've helped more
Looks like Kepi lost Marty's own ED. Poor red-faced bastard can't even get votes on his own block for his favorite staffer (not John Q)
Rose is raising about $100,000 a day at this point
Nicole is about to get run over by a MAX truck
did anybody see that commercial? ouch that smarts!
Somebody above mentioned a hole in Nicole's boat, but here is the real hole in the boat.
In the 2020 primary in Brooklyn, Nicole Malliotakis got 2358 votes out of 3045 Republican votes cast. In the 2017 primary in a similar Brooklyn area, John Quaglione got 1789 out of 3848 Republican votes cast.
In the three years between 2017 and 2020, the GOP primary vote dropped over 800 votes.
1:52 forgets one detail. Nicole always wins.
Give it up Marko.
Kepi lost brooklyn. Got crushed. He lost marty's home ed 27 to 72. I think that about sums it up. Its over
Nicole is going to get crushed in Brooklyn. Her primary numbers were awful considering she’s been in office ten years and ran for Mayor. She had a lot of momentum and goodwill after Mayoral race and ruined it by becoming a total Gerry puppet. Most of her district is on Staten Island but her boss is in Brooklyn.

[GALEWYN MASSEY --- BROADCASTING FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, WALKING DISTANCE FROM THE BEACH BUCKET RESTAURANT IN ORMOND BEACH, FLORIDA] TO ALL CLEAR THINKING REPUBLICANS --- AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS SILLY ENOUGH TO STILL BE IN BROOKLYN
Any GOTV effort in Bay Ridge, Dyker and Bath Beach-Bensonhurst will only help Gounardes and Rose. So only the Dems should be working on that (and OH BOY !!! There'll be lots of voting by mail this year all around).....
A big vote from Brooklyn is bad for Nicole, and a big vote from the Bay Ridge part of the 64th AD is bad for "Toonces the Driving Cat" and "Vito of the Night".....
So >>> NOW <<< how much would you pay for the GOP chances for Donovan's old seat in the US Congress, and Marty Golden's old seat in the NY State Senate, and Nicole's still warm seat in the NYS Assembly >>> AND THE GINSU KNIVES ?????
8:26 assumes 2017 doesn't count. Nicole was a pitiful, horrible candidate for Mayor.
Running against one of the most incompetent and disliked elected officials in decades, and she barely broke 20%.
The problem for GOP candidates is that Craig Eaton is gone there is no ground game. Ted and his round assistant can’t be taken seriously. Matter of fact they provided much comic relief to the Staten Island GOP boasting about all of their efforts for Nicole and Mike with the “dozens” of volunteers door knocking lit drops and tens of thousands of calls. Folks if you look at Nicole and Mike’s paltry disappointing numbers in Brooklyn you know those claims are ridiculous and the guys at the party nearly split their pants laughing.

Let's pretend that Armand Starace, or even better Ed Seergy, were to rise up and put together a real street operation in Brooklyn for Trump, Nicole and the rest of the GOP hopefuls in Southwest Brooklyn --- where would they put the headquarters; and explain how any of it would make any sense at all.....
I heard there was a snafu at the BOE and Ted's wig was somehow elected a Tom Steyer delegate
72% is pitiful?
How would you classify 1% ?
Ted has built up a solid team of winners. Got rid of the worthless consultants. As for Eaton just what exactly did he accomplish.
OMG Nicole won with over 70% of the vote. How will she survive this.
I'm glad this blog supports defunding the police.

That is absolutely analogous to what happened to the Nicole Malliotakis campaign for Congress on Tuesday in Brooklyn. Almost thirty percent of the most motivated Republicans voted against Nicole and the overall vote total of Republicans, for or against Nicole, was way short of what it needed to be for her and her supporters to be in any way confident.

Here is what I actually said:
"RESPONSE: THE 'WE ALREADY ARE "DE-FUNDING" THE POLICE' EDITION
TO ALL THE SO-CALLED 'CONSERVATIVES' OUT THERE >>> ANY SYSTEM THAT SPENDS AS MUCH OR MORE ON RETIRED COPS THAN COPS ON THE JOB HAS ALREADY LARGELY 'DE-FUNDED' THE POLICE

NYC needs about 32,000 police >>> NOT <<< 41,000 police --- right off the top >>> 25% cuts <<< across the board --- only then do the fine tuning to make it work.....
The best police force in the world, the London Met, has 32,000 police officers..... Also, it did most of its racial reforms almost thirty years ago."
That is far from a call for "defunding" the NYPD --- it is a necessary and proper reallocation of resources based on fiscal responsibility, reflecting a tremendous drop in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NYC only needs 20,000 cops. If that.
I would hope the NYPD could keep New York safe for 6 BILLION DOLLARS
347 I guess you haven’t been involved for too long or you are stuck in Teds wig. But when Eaton was Chair the Brooklyn GOP had an office with phones, they had several meetings a month, they had a Lincoln dinner every year, they raised money and they elected candidates like Fossella, Grim, Turner, Donovan to Congress, Golden and Storobin to NYS debate, Malliotakis to Assemby. Ghorra comes in and Golden and Donovan lose. Those are undisputed facts.
When was the last elected who won under Ghorra and when was the last Dinner. Hearing crickets.
Nobody not even Marty takes Ted seriously. He could have taken credit for Nicole and Mike’s win as very chairman could and left it at that. But he and his sidekicks over the top exaggerating about the role they played confirms they’re not to be taken seriously. Nicole and Mike know this by the way.
Does anyone know did Bob get the axe from The Brooklyn Paper? I have not seen his column in weeks and was looking forward to his take on the recent Occupy City Hall situation.
I never noticed bobs column but brooklyn paper headline states "Malliotakis sweeps primary". Someone should explain to brooklyn paper that Nicole getting over 72% was horrible.

Don't forget Marty Golden didn't carry a single election district in Bay Ridge in the 2018 general election.
How many do you think Nicole will carry this November ???

100am is more fake news as usual. Capano's column have been changed from bi weekly to weekly, and moved from just the Brooklyn courier life editions to the owners Queens papers and the city wide AM New York because of the high readership of it as shown by online views, etc. This week in the print edition I just got of the Bay News Bob callas for Brannan to fire his chief of staff Chris McCreight for calling all Trump supporters indecent people and white supremacists. Now when was the last time you heard something like that, or something like that in the press from Liam or Q!! And Bob know is on WABC radio regularly which is now owned by John Catsimatidis. So Gale is correct, Capano is the only winner in the 2020 primaries but also moving ahead in the GOP. After all with Cats or Sliwa as Mayor does anyone doubt who will be at City Hall - Capano, or Liam/Q.
Hahaha
Gale, let's stop messing around and get down to Brass Taxes..... Marty Golden was our flag-bearer. Our flag-bearer endorsed Marko Kepi. He campaigned with Kepi. He did endorsement videos with Kepi and Kepi still got grilled like a Pork shish kabob at Plaka. Kepi lost Brooklyn! Got crushed. Kepi lost Marty's home ED 27 to 72 !!!!! I think that about sums it up. It's over. Do not forget Marty didn't carry a single ED in Bay Ridge in the 2018 General Election. We need a new flag-bearer not a new shish kabob.
Gale you raise such great issues. So clever.
Please explain if Nicole gets 72% in November does she get to go to congress?

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 19:13 AM"
YOUR COMMENT WAS IN TWO PARTS --- SO READ MY ANSWER IN TWO PARTS --- SINCE YOUR SECOND HALF WAS JUST SILLY --- MY SECOND HALF RESPONSE WAS JUST AS SILLY
With things the way they are today, I think that Nicole Malliotakis has about a 72% percent chance of losing in November. She might even lose within the borders of her current assembly district, but I predict that she edges Max out there but by no more than a gimlet eye, but not on the Brooklyn side, where he'll beat her like she's his Greek and Cuban omelet with nova and scallions.
When will people understand Nicole lost to Caldarearass. I read it on a fake republican blog.
72% spells bad times for nicole. When the paper is counted she will have 82% which spells disaster.
Ted has finally managed to unify the entire Brooklyn Republican party. It actually happened. All the factions are coming together on one unifying point--Ted is a total embarrassment to the party the likes of which have not been seen before. He needs to go. Everyone is fed up with him.
Max Rose anti police rhetoric will spell "more bad news" for Nicole.
I am looking at social media now and I see Bob Capano's hard hitting column calling on Brannan to fire his chief of staff for calling Trump supporters white supremacists and indecent people and see the Sliwa and Vito Bruno event with Sliwa endorsing Vito. Obviously Bob was involved in that. Again of the 2017 GOP candidates who seems the most viable in 2021 or even still relevant.
Ted needs to go...let’s start a petition to get him out
Wow the NY State Senate GOP official spokespersons just tweeted about the Sliwa endorsement of Bruno..
All roads do seem to lead right back to Bob Capano, the true shadow Chair of the Brooklyn Republican Party and defacto Deputy Press Secretary for DeSales Media Corp
Marty Golden needs to do the right thing and step in here in this situation with Ted. The guy has become a laughingstock claiming that “dozens” of volunteers campaigned for Mike Tannousis and made “tens of thousands” of phone calls. Pretty massive effort for just 300 votes no? With the exception of one Congressional race that includes only a small part of Brooklyn, we are not contesting even one seat in Brooklyn population of three million.
There is more division in the Brooklyn GOP than a third grade math class but one thing almost everybody agrees with is Ghorra gotta go. Total embarrassment.

It's very simple --- NO: checkout counters; cash registers; cleanups; aisles (regardless of numbers); coffee orders; donut orders; breakfast or lunch orders; bodily effluents on rugs, carpets or shoes(regardless from which bodily opening, also regardless of whether elimination or evacuation, or level of digestion, or the presence or absence of blood in the sample); and futons in mother-in-laws' basements or anybody else's basement; and any references to Christine's being anybody's "girlfriend".....
I think it's time Ted Ghorra be removed by an administrator of some sort
It seems people are getting tired of Ted Ghorra's and his small inner Circle attacking Sliwa and Capano, even Liam's wife Christine sent a jab to Capano & Sliwa on Twitter.
Now We have Vito Bruno himself embracing them, Colleen and Marty Golden saying all is cool on Facebook with them, and now Andrea Catsimatidis says publicly on Twitter it is time for Republicans to stop the BS grudges and infighting. Are Ted and Christine Sisto listening??? They are now officially alone.
