Does Rudy Giuliani really believe his former deputy Joe Lhota can be elected mayor?
Well, according to Lhota’s Republican rival, John Catsimatidis, Giuliani well knows Lhota can't win. Speaking to DNAinfo, Catsimatidis said he was at lunch last month with Giuliani when Giuliani admitted he doesn't think Lhota really has a chance.
“Rudy sat there… and says, ‘Lhota can’t win.’ Eyeball to eyeball,” Catsimatidis told DNAinfo.com. “Because a pure Republican in this city can’t win," Giuliani allegedly said.
