The real reason Giuliani's son is running for Governor of NY

[garybeck]

I beg your PARDON, but could it be any more obvious why Rudy's son is running for Governor?

[Tommy Carcetti]

1. First he would have to actually be elected.

And maybe in 2001 or 2002 he could have managed to do that on the strength of name alone.

But I'm guessing the Giuliani name is mud to most New Yorkers these days.

2. Not a chance in hell he'll be succeed IMO, but that is probably what he

and the elder moron are thinking... Probably being coerced by Trump as well.

3. Yes ..that's exactly why. Run your weasel son, get me off and I will help you financially..which is

The Newest big lie

5. What could he do for anyone being mayor?

4. Wouldn't Work....

Even in the INCREDIBLY unlikely event this buffoon won, a pardon from the Governor of New York would only apply to State crimes…. If the Federal Department of Justice brings the case against Crazy Rudy and gets a conviction in Federal court, the Governor can’t pardon that.

[garybeck]

11. currently he is in hot water in the state of NY

you are correct that the gov of NY can't pardon him for federal crimes, but that's the point. he is in trouble right now for state crimes in NY. so he needs someone there who can pardon him.

6. Puhleeze... he'd do it just for the fundraising cash. nt.

7. He's UN-hireable anyplace else.

He’s never held a real job anywhere and has been a lifetime recipient of wingnut welfare. You’d think if he had something to offer an employer, he’d have a gig of some sort with someone.

This is all he’s got.

And yes—he thinks that if he somehow got lucky and was elected, he could maybe bail daddy out via a pardon.

This kid is a terminal f*ckoff.

8. I am sure you are correct.

The Trump's, the Giulianis, the Cheney's, I am sure the DiSantis' in the future, and I forgot.. the Paul's etc... are all crime families. They try to get elected to get power, use the power corruptly, and then cover their tracks using more power.

The thing is that Giuliani, at one point in his life, seemed to be a competent lawyer, and while his mayorship of NYC is super overrated, he wasn't a complete ass his entire career. Jr. seems like a failson, a complete waste of oxygen, who got handed everything but the sense god gave a mule and his daddy's love. He is basically Donald Trump to Fred Trump. Fred was an evil, but smart son of a bitch, who turned over his empire to the stupidest but most corrupt and willing son. All Jr. Giuliani has going for him is the name, but daddy is running that shit into the ground too.

9. Maybe to make any other nut case Republican seem sane

By comparison, anyway.

10. Shit-for-brains couldn't get elected dog catcher

let alone governor of New York.
