I think people are going to be impressed by Mamdani's

[applegrove]

team and how decent and competent they are. They will actually help people. What a foil to the Trump WH.

(Edited to add)

Thrilled by choice of Kamar Samuels for Schools Chancellor. Got to know him when he was Supt for D13 in BK (before D3 in Manh). An elem-school teacher & middle-school principal in the BX before that.

Smart, principled, effective.
Knows & loves what schools can do.

1. I'm willing to give him a chance

[griloco]

2. I expect Trump to take credit

for everything Mamdani accomplishes

3. Choosing a smart, competent person with teaching and administration experience

is certainly one way to go. Or, you could choose someone from pro wrestling who has donated tons of money to your campaign and gives you fawning flattery.

Both approaches are equally valid, right???
