Gloria Pazmino, politics reporter at Politico New York, and Fred Mogul, WNYC government and state politics reporter, offer analysis of the August 29 debate of gubernatorial candidates.
How real is Nixon's charge that Cuomo has used the MTA as his ATM? "Very real," says @GloriaPazmino, "we know that the governor has used MTA funds for other pet projects."

Governor Cuomo "seemed to be going off on this rant about" Cynthia Nixon being a corporation. Cuomo noted Nixon's personal requests to BdB, which @GloriaPazmino says is "fair point to raise" but he got lost in "name-calling and suggesting she's not a person."

Cuomo says the only thing to keep him from serving a full term was if God strikes him dead. But @GloriaPazmino notes people can change their minds, and if he does, "no one will care."

"Nothing matters," says Brian.
