Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he’ll pack his bags and flee to Florida if he loses the NYC mayoral race to socialist Zohran Mamdani.

“It’s all or nothing. We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” Cuomo told business leaders and other honchos at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis.

    Florida is the closest thing we have to hell in the U.S. and it is where he belongs.

    I did not expect him to give Mamdani an endorsement at all, much less this soon after losing the primary.

    Someone should put in a law that if a politician is going to threaten to move somewhere if X happens,
    and X happens, then by law s/he is exiled to that place.

    “I would rather a conservative hellhole like Florida than a state that gives mild concessions to the people”…I’m sure that resonates with new Yorkers.

    The equivalent…“If I don’t win then fuck all of you! I’m taking my toys and going elsewhere!!”

      I hereby sign the executive order that the US shall have a “Good times threat act”
      whereby any politician threatening it’s majority voters with a good time if their candidate gets elected,
      will face criminal charges if the politician in question does not follow through his or her threat.

        If you are going to prosecute politicians for not following through on promises, you are going to have an awful lot of work ahead of you…

    I’m just going to pack my weird nipples and go to Florida. Maybe, I’ll kill some elderly ladies using my skills at sexual harassment.

    Not my vote to make, but I’d almost hope to see Zoran becomes mayor, just to see if he’s true to his word. But too many examples of how electing someone/something for the wrong reason back fires.

    So instead Let’s just hope they make te right choice.
