Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.....
South Shore Republican Council Member Joseph Borelli did well enough yesterday to catapult all the way to Washington as the next Member of Congress from the New York 11th Congressional District
Just read the Staten Island Advance's recent editorial endorsing Mr. Borelli in his Quixotic Run for Public Advocate --- Like Prego, it's all in there
And as a 'traditional Italian' performer --- he'll be like Jerry Vale, Jimmy Roselli, Vic Damone, Al Martino, Tony Bennett and the three Frankie's, Sinatra, Valli and the "first blue-eyed soul singer" Laine all rolled into one
Don't take my word for it, see what the Advance had to say ("For Public Advocate, the Advance endorses Joe Borelli (editorial)" by S.I. Advance Editorial Board, 11/3/19, SI Advance/News [https://www.silive.com/news/2019/11/for-public-advocate-the-advance-endorses-joe-borelli-editorial.html]).
The most interesting thing in that wonderful and laudatory editorial, is that they clearly appear to suggest that Joe Borelli should run in a primary against fellow Staten Island Republican Nicole Malliotakis.....
The best part is that Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar will have to endorse Joe Borelli outright, possibly give more than one candidate a Wilson-Pakula for the Conservative line, or suffer the absolute humiliation of the biggest opportunity to ballot defeat in the history of New York State politics.
So guess Eaton is privately backing Borelli now? Since he cant publicly since Cats is with Nicole..sad
ReplyDeletechatter is fun but Kassar has endorsed nicole.
ReplyDeleteIf Joe Borelli comes into the race, Nicole will just be somebody that Kassar used to love.
ReplyDeleteNicole take a number, Kassar doesn't really relate to the female form when it comes to "Conservative" style candidates.
And after all is said and done, why should anybody care? We are talking about Nicole Malliotakis here and not Nicole Kidman.
Good scoop Gale. But Joe Borelli is too chicken shit to primary Nicole. His ego is too big to risk losing to Nicole. But people desperately want another option. He’d win easy. Nicole’s team not built for a real primary. They’re taking the bait daily from someone like Joey Salads imagine what would happen if Borelli was in.
ReplyDeleteAs for Gerard he would hit pay dirt with both of them. He’d ream them for huge consulting fees for his cronies then have them both thinking he’s “secretly” with them while officially proclaiming neutrality. Same thing he did to Nicole when Danny first ran.
125
ReplyDeleteFor your last paragraph just replace Gerard with Eaton..same thing
When Kassar gave Nicole the nod it ended any talk of Borelli or any other serious candidate. You may want to consider checking Joey Salads voter registration.
ReplyDelete3:34 one are where Craig can’t compete with Gerry is duplicity. He was Nicole’s staunchest ally and close friend for years until the Mayoral race destroyed their friendship. When she tried running for Congress in 2015 Craig was her only real supporter and was public about it. Gerry told Nicole he was with her of course but then Marty “surprisingly” endorsed Danny, but his chief of staff didn’t see that coming? Then of course after Danny won he cleaned house on Staten Island not keeping any Grimm staffers but kept the entire Brooklyn all members of the Conservative party. Only Nicole is gullible enough to fall for this stuff. Craig always did right by her whether she knows it or not.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "OBVIOUSLY NOT..." EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:56 AM"
NOT ONLY IS YOUR COMMENT "FAKE NEWS" --- IT IS PATENTLY ABSURD: YOU CHECK THE VOTER REGISTRATION OF JOEY "SALADS" --- I COULDN'T CARE LESS
If you aren't Nicole Malliotakis, herself, you might be the only other person on earth who could possibly believe that "When Kassar gave Nicole the nod it ended any talk of Borelli or any other serious candidate...." --- and I seriously doubt that even Nicole believes that.
First, I have talked about Borelli and other serious candidates for Congress in the New York 11th CD many times; second, the "SI Advance" has talked about it, most recently in an editorial; third, several leading Republicans in Brooklyn and on Staten Island have talked about it to me, as well as a NYS Conservative or two. (BTW, excuse me for asking, but when did Jerry Kassar actually endorse anybody for Congress in NY's 11th CD ???)
As for some of the other comment makers that said that Borelli has no balls. I can't say one way or the other. However, he doesn't really need any balls, because the people who might want him to run have plenty of balls; and they want to show Kassar that theirs are much bigger than his.

ReplyDeleteNow are you saying Eaton will NOT support nicole? I cant keep up with the gymnastics defending Craig and his Hamlet in Brooklyn acts..
RESPONSE: THE "PERFECT SETTING UP A STRAW MAN" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 2:02 AM"
LET ME BE CLEAR, I AM NOT NOW, NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN THE COMMENTER "... AT 5:32 PM" ABOVE.....
NO MATTER HOW HARD I LOOK AT 5:32 PM'S COMMENT, I DON'T SEE ANY INDICATION THAT "... EATON WILL [>>> NOT <<<] SUPPORT NICOLE..." SO THE ONLY "...GYMNASTICS DEFENDING CRAIG AND HIS HAMLET IN BROOKLYN ACTS...." ARE IN >>> YOUR <<< HEAD
Your confusion seems quite wilful and nefarious.
Eaton has played his cards close to the vest for a very long time --- he is probably the closest thing to an un-Hamlet that you can get.
But if your side wants to make him into something Shakespearean you'd be better off trying Iago or Brutus as your trope....
So is endorsing nicole or not Gale..last year with Golden he publicly stayed out of it..guess same here.
ReplyDeleteSad
Eaton is about as relevant as bob
ReplyDeleteEaton and Capano both are persona non grata
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "IRRELEVANT, PERSONA NON GRATA & SAD IS AS SAD DOES..." EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:27 AM"; "... AT 9:48 AM" & "... AT 11:40 AM"
WHAT IS TRULY "SAD" IS HOW MUCH YOU TALK ABOUT "HIM" --- MEANING CRAIG EATON.....
EATON DOES NEXT TO NOTHING AND YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT, AND TALK ABOUT IT, AND TALK ABOUT IT
AND THEN THERE'S THIS: "EATON IS ABOUT AS RELEVANT AS BOB..." WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY, LET'S UNPACK THAT A LITTLE
LASTLY, "PERSONA NON GRATA" TO WHOM ???
No doubt, when you say "Bob," you are referring to Bob Capano who definitely had a hand in defeating John Quaglione in 2017. Since 2017, Bob Capano has reinvented himself by being the most widely seen, heard and read conservative Republican voice in Brooklyn; in addition to being one of John Catsimatidis' key political operators all around NYC and on the air.
During that same time, Liam McCabe has only partially reinvented himself as some kind of Brooklyn GOP "leader" with strong ties to several consulting operations --- his 2019 foray into the Brooklyn GOP Bi-annual reorganization process did not go well.
Then there is the human Q-ball, John Quaglione. His biggest splash was on the "break" in 2017 --- after that it has been a long series of one scratch after another of substantive failures and PR gaffs. His latest claim to fame is pairing up with Mike Long to jointly cause the Catholic Academies in OLA and St. Anselm's to crash and burn.
But the PR Q-ball did maybe his biggest "break" to date when he announced that the successor Catholic Academy to OLA and St. Anselm's would continue to have declining enrollment, until a few years later when an increase was expected. He only left it up to any sensible person to figure out that what he meant was >>> when Saint Patrick's Catholic Academy, a little ways out the line on Fourth Avenue at 97th Street, has to be shut down in a couple of years <<< .....
Somebody has their "persona non grata" thing breached 180 degrees away from the truth. Everybody in the know in the NYC/NYS GOP wants Craig Eaton to come in out of the cold and clean up the Golden-Ghorra mess in Brooklyn.
Even with the recent Andy Cuomo bailout of the NYS Conservative Party, to the detriment of the NYS GOP, everybody knows that Kassar is the "dead man walking"..... And let's see if all of that holds up in court.....
Eaton is irrelevant, Eaton is useless..blah blah blah
ReplyDeleteIf he is then why do you keep talking about him every single day?
Very funny
ok yes. Craig decides who the next congressman is.
ReplyDeleteKassar has created a ballot with 3 parties.
ReplyDeleteDead man walking!
ReplyDeleteAs always Kassar is ten steps ahead of Craig. Kassar always boxes Eaton into a corner. Now if Eaton endorses Nicole like his "buddy" Cats already did everyone knows his nemesis Kassar is running the show. If he stays out of it as with Golden race, more embarrassment for all in the GOP see. We know he wont to against Cats and against nicole in a primary. kassar beats him again.
ReplyDeleteIs Kassar to blame for letting the GOP leadership rollover?
ReplyDeleteEaton was always a wannabe political player, but Kassar shows how it's done. Eaton dilemma about what to do nicole as accurately stated by 1155pm is yet another example..
ReplyDelete1155, did Kassar actually box Golden out in his try to box out Eaton, Arnaldo and Lucretia? It sUre looks like it.
ReplyDelete1208, if another credible GOP candidate emerges for congress, Eaton might be right there to endorse them all the way through a primary and Cats can scratch if he don't like it. Cats needs Eaton not the other way around. There will be plenty of time to endorse Nicole after she gets the GOP nomination. After all based on some of his comments to others inside the GOP, Eaton seems to like Max Rose a lot.
And yes, Kassar is largely to blame for the GOP rollover by using his position as Marty Golden's staff boss to box out non-cooperating GOP leaders and replacing them with people like Quaglione.
Lots of Staten Island Republicans like McMahon as DA and Rose as their Congressman; they didn't like Donovan and they do not like Malliotakis.
ReplyDeleteKassar is an old, fat, sick, paranoid whore, who has never held a job in the private sector.
ReplyDeleteHe has lived off the public dime since birth and then threw his own boss under the bus by letting Golden lose in 2018.
Lets all hope that fusion voting is outlawed so that we can send Kassar to pasture...at least he can eat grain and lose that very large stomach of his
Enough jealousy of Eaton. Under Gerry’s watch, Nicole’s been reduced to having mob wives openly host fundraisers for her. The Democrats are having a field day and Max will win much easier than most people think.
ReplyDeleteEaton endorsing nicole after a primary means nothing. Him endorsing her now means next to nothing..poor sap
ReplyDelete511 shows you why Nicole is having so much trouble getting Craig Eaton to come aboard to help her, that's the Golden-Ghorra-Kassar approach.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Staten Island GOP want the Golden-Ghorra-Kassar approach?
Eaton will come aboard..he has no choice for his own reputation..watch
ReplyDeleteEaton always has a choice, just like in 2018. If he backs Joe Borelli, Eaton's reputation will do just fine, because Borelli would win.
ReplyDeleteEaton doesn't have balls to go against Cats..he will lose his free meals
ReplyDeleteJohn Cats or Curtis Sliwa will be the next mayor
ReplyDeleteIf john cats runs for Mayor he knows he needs conservative line..he has to be a smart guy for being a billionaire. Check financial records he already has given lots of money for Kassar conservatice party dinners (despite Eaton despising him!). Sound similar, Cats went with Golden despite Eaton hating Golden. if Kassar tells Cats to drop Eaton for conservatice line he will. Again when real political decisions like Golden endorsement, Eaton is afterthought to Cats. He may humor Craig with nice words and invite him to some events but when power politica involved Eaton doesn't hold a candle to Kassar to Cats. Look at the financial contributions to NYS Conservatives, plenty of Cats donations.
ReplyDeleteCats ain't so smart as you think and he is wasting his money on Kassar; but it is his money and he can do what he wants. At any rate, Cats knows about as much about politics as his daughter knows about fashion.
ReplyDelete6:54 is either a minion desperate to stay in Jerry’s favor or maybe Jerry himself. Otherwise it’s a troubled person prone to hallucinations so maybe it could be Jerry.
ReplyDeleteCats is not stupid to think the Conservative line would help him in a run for Mayor in a liberal city. Craig and Cats became close after the Conservatives rewarded Cats generosity by viciously going after him in the Mayor’s race on behalf of pathetic candidate Joe Lhota.
Craig’s team embarrassed the Conservatives by almost winning Brooklyn even though Rudy G and Marty G campaigned for Lhota non stop and BOE employees were threatened if they didn’t fall in line with pathetic Lhota.
Anybody who knows John knows he won’t soon forget what was done against him when he ran for Mayor. The only reason he endorsed Golden a mere week before the election was as a favor to AJ because she’s regional VP for NYCGOP. Anybody who thinks AJ going to bat for Jerry is maybe is smoking some of dat sticky icky.
If your Eaton how do you take the constant humiliation as expressed with 322 and 654 above..now granted only a small number of political insiders are aware of all this (cats Golden endorsement, eaton out of it, cats nicole endorsement, eaton out of it, cats support of conservatives)..the point is these folks know Eaton hates Kassar and Golden and know Eaton holds on to Cats as saying how close they are, and Cats goes with Kassar and golden
ReplyDeleteHey 1013 (craig)
ReplyDeleteYou say "Anybody who knows John knows he won’t soon forget what was done against him by conservatives when he ran for Mayor." If this is true how do you explain his very generous contributions to conservative party events since that election including just a few months ago?? Cant wait for you to come up with some other fake news excuse to explain this away along with why Cats would say Marty Golden "mentoring" his daughter...you never did address that!!!
Robert and Alexandra campaigning in Brooklyn today with nicole...I thought they were not close?? No sign of Chanberas..
ReplyDelete3:22 and 6:54 are delusional. John won’t take Jerry’s calls and Jerry always begging Nicole to put in a good word for him.
ReplyDeleteOn Election night 2018 John and Craig were hanging out together at 21 laughing their heads off at Jerry’s reaction to Marty losing while almost everyone at the Manor knew he was the one to blame for Marty’s loss.
Ya don't win the NYC mayoralty with the Conservative line. You win it by running away from the Conservative line as far and as fast as you can.
ReplyDelete1:42 Yea I spoke with Nick a few days ago and I don’t think he even remembers who they are. Has’t spoken to Nicole in months. He’s clearly not interested in the Congressional race why are they so obsessed with him?
ReplyDelete209
ReplyDeleteSo why does John continue to give generously to Kassar's conservatives as recently as over the past couple of months while Kassar has been state chair????? Today, kassar and Cats laugh their heads off on how Cats throws Eaton a few bones but when it comes to real things (endorsements like Golden or Nicole, contributions to Kassar's conservatives) he shows he is with Kassar..what does it take for Eaton to get it..
By the way John said Golden is "mentoring" his daughter.
If Robert and Alexandra knew about the conversations Malliotakis has with Chambers they’d still be desperate enough and have no choice but to try to stay on board. They can rest easy because nothing Malliotakis promises him will get him to go back.
ReplyDeleteCats said Golden is "mentoring " his daughter Andrea, yet Craig says how close they are when all know Craig hates Golden...if that's not a slap at Craig I dont know what is- other than Cats and Andrea endorsing Golden of course..everyone knows Eaton hates Kassar yet Cats gives big $$ to the conservatives..does anyone else see a pattern?
ReplyDelete438, I don't see any such pattern, just an isolated shoot here and an isolated kernel there, along with a lot of fake news chaff.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Golden mentoring Andrea in now, how to loose an election by leaving Kassar in charge?
Why is Cats donating to this day to Kassars conservatives if he "won't forget 2013" as craig claims above? Still waiting for excuse???
ReplyDeleteHere is the bottom line.
ReplyDeleteWith Craig its Always about words on how Cats joins Craig's hate of Golden and Kassar. Everyone knows craig hates them
Yet Cats ACTIONS always show differently-
- endorsed Golden
- endorsed Nicole (everyone knows Kassar running the campaign)
- gives generously to Kassar's conservatives
- says Golden is "mentoring" his daughter andrea
These are the FACTS and they are undeniable while Eaton's stuff is just words. All the insiders know and see this which is why they dont take Craig relationship with Cats seriously as much as he preaches.
If Golden's mentoring of the Cleavage Queen as County Chair is what's led to her surrender to the Proud Boys and other extremist right wingers ... it ain't mentoring. It's sabotage.
ReplyDelete1:18 obsessed with Cats and Eaton. Cats is not making any big donations to Conservatives. They’re out of the picture they just don’t know it yet. Latching on to Nicole’s failing campaign and clinging for dear life was huge mistake. Stay tuned.
ReplyDelete10 am
ReplyDeleteLook at financial records!
The names that Republicans need to stay focused on are Justin Brannan, Andrew Gounardes and Max Rose, who are incumbent elected officials. All this Eaton, Ghorra, Golden, Catsimatidis, Quaglione, McCabe, Capano, Kassar, and Malliotakis, Borelli or Saladino for Congress stuff don't mean a thing until somebody is the GOP candidate for City Council, State Senate or Congress.
ReplyDeleteI just checked on BOE website and there are NO donations by Cats for the NYS or Brooklyn Cons party...keep jerking yourself off my friend at 1:18.
ReplyDeleteYou see you cant lie about things that are factual because they can be checked to prove you are lying.
Blah Blah Blah
432 saying nicole talks to chambers is same deal as Eaton..all words..the proof is in the pudding, what actually happens and is provable with facts..just as Cats endorsed Golden and Nicole and donated to conservatives...nicole in photos with Robert and Alexandra and nicole retweets them..nicole actually campaigning in Brooklyn with them...those are the facts and they are undeniable...the hyperbole here of Eaton and Chambers is just that
ReplyDeleteQuaglione will be the City Council candidate not the drunk or bagger who ran against him last time
ReplyDelete3:38 good point but here’s what’s missing. Gerry and Fran became obsessed with Nicole’s run for Congress and in turn tried to make Ted Ghorra obsessed with her run and expect everyone else in the Brooklyn GOP to write off every other race to help Nicole. That’s a bad idea what we should doing is convincing Marty to run again make sure every Democrat Assemblyman in South Brooklyn gets a credible challenger and focus on taking back the City council seat from Justin.
ReplyDeleteMany of us more or less fell for the Nicole hype which was a mistake. Her campaign is falling apart and already having trouble raising money. We should focus less on Staten Island races and more on Brooklyn cause even if Nicole wins she’s just gonna hire whoever Gerry commands her to.
Quaglione is done in elective politics, shilling for a failing institution that enables pedos to bugger kids and then covers it up, and then closes schools an churches all over the district where he wants to run to pay off the claims, gimme a break.
ReplyDeleteIf there were a re-run of the 2017 GOP Primary, Q would come in fourth.
Nicole Malliotakis is a member of the NYS Assembly, who ran for mayor in 2017, ran for re-election to the NYS Assembly in 2018, and is running for the U.S. Congress in the 2020 elections.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there still an overwhelming number of Tweets on Nicole Malliotakis' Twitter page dedicated to attacks on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio or related to issues of NYC governance?
On one of the few congressional matters that she has mentioned, why does she think that Congressman Max Rose's support of impeachment hearings is partisan, but that her opposition to impeachment and other recent support of Trump is not equally partisan?
Eaton, Chambers, Capano = odd men out seeking relevance in their fantasies and stories..
ReplyDelete4;00 pm complaining again about Craig and Nick proves the point. Nicole has to campaign in Brooklyn with only a hated couple from the Upper East Side because no one else wants to campaign with Nicole. It’s not just Craig and Nick who told her to take a hike. A lot of the district leaders are done with her too. We ain’t working for free to make sure the Conservatives can get jobs again.
ReplyDelete
