Three Candidates seeking New York State Reform Party nomination debate --- event streamed on ABC’s Facebook page

Reform Party Thinks It's  >>>  “the first gubernatorial debate of the 2018 election cycle featuring candidates of different parties”  <<< According to a Reform Party press release,   a lively debate covering issues ranging from the SAFE Act and guns to marijuana reform and public corruption  was held between these three candidates for Governor: former Erie County Executive Joel Giambra;  business consultant,  Larry Sharpe;   and former state Housing Commissioner,  Joe Holland.   The spirited debate was moderated by WABC political editor Rita Cosby and the New York State Reform Party Chairman Curtis Sliwa.   The entire debate was streamed live on the WABC Facebook page,  where it can now be viewed. Prior to the actual debate between the candidates,  former New York State Governor David Paterson gave some advice to the candidates,  along with an overall history lesson on the reform movement in the State of New York. DEBATE LOOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS HELD ONLY AMONG “FRINGE” CANDIDATES Just take a look at the following items that the Reform Party release characterized as “debate highlights”: -All three candidates indicated the parole board decision should stand on the Herman Bell case and they would not second guess that decision (releasing the cop-killer on parole).   Larry Sharpe, who is also seeking the Libertarian nomination particularly noted that “…   a cop’s life is worth no more or less than anyone else’s”;  and he also said that he would pardon all non-violent drug offenders currently in New York State prisons. -All of the candidates indicated that they would support >>> SANCTUARY CITIES <<< including the possible GOP candidate Joe Holland.  -Two of the candidates,  Holland and Giambra,  said they would consider raising the age to purchase rifles from 18 to 21 in light of the Parkland FL high school shootings. -Two of the debaters said they would push to legalize recreational use of marijuana;  whereas  Holland opposes any moves towards legalization.   Giambra said such legalization would be a great source of additional taxation.  However, , Larry Sharpe said marijuana should be taxed  >>> “…like onions or any other vegetable…” <<<. -All of the debating candidates gave Trump, Cuomo and DeBlasio  bad marks for their performances in their respective offices. The last item on the Reform Party release was that the Reform Party achieved ballot access in 2014 as the "Stop Common Core Party";  and that was before it changed its name in 2014;  and that Curtis Sliwa was elected party chairman in September, 2016…..
