Can you stop interrupting?” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sneered at Cynthia Nixon.

 

“Can you stop lying?” Nixon shot back

 

I think that we know the answer to those questions is............................................................................................No.

Anyone watching the debate? 

I watched the entire debate..it wasn't about state issues,for the most part,it was all NYC.Regardless...Nixon doesn't have a chance in hell of coming close to making the race a competition.

She’s not the best speaker, but she’s hammering him hard on the right subjects. 

Like what...bridge tolls? She sure shut up when he asked her about her "non corporate" political contributions.

What bull ****.

It was a joke, but even if you didn't get the reference I'm curious about why it warranted that strong of a reaction?

But the real losers in any New York State political debate are the New Yorkers outside the City

They all said it was a joke, but didn't tell you why it was funny (and it was!)... the JFK/Nixon debate.  Link
 

In 1950, only 11 percent of American homes had television; by 1960, the number had jumped to 88 percent. An estimated seventy million Americans, about two-thirds of the electorate, watched the first debate on September 26th.
 

Kennedy had met the day before with the producer to discuss the design of the set and the placement of the cameras. Nixon, just out of the hospital after a painful knee injury, did not take advantage of this opportunity. Kennedy wore a blue suit and shirt to cut down on glare and appeared sharply focused against the gray studio background. Nixon wore a gray suit and seemed to blend into the set.
 

Most importantly, JFK spoke directly to the cameras and the national audience. Nixon, in traditional debating style, appeared to be responding to Kennedy. Most Americans watching the debates felt that Kennedy had won. (Most radio listeners seemed to give the edge to Nixon.)

My wife picked up on that. Nixon’s references were mostly NYC, and not the whole state.
