I can’t help but think that sliwa is a mud slinging, angry man who used to have a very clear purpose in life for himself. He had a gang of self styled crime fighters and he felt he was a hero – he has done good things for the community, but has also made hateful tirades against our way of life. He has the trump-esque appeal of the common man, except he does not have the experience in high society and business acumen that the former possessed. He is likewise headstrong, obnoxious… I don’t see any reason at all to entrust him with the stewardship of the city.
Adams has been in public life and is not a known radical leftist; I was very relieved when he won the nomination. Dinkins was a weak leader who was in the pocket of the African American community; I’ve seen no indication that Adams is too….he did once associate with Louis Farrakhan, which is very disturbing, but has since distanced himself.
