NYC mayors for prez: No such luck Kew Gardens Hills: Re your Nov. 9 editorial "We like The road from Gracie Mansion to the White House is a dead end for New York City mayors.

John Lindsay was crushed in a 1972 presidential primary and delusional de Blasio dropped out after gaining zero traction this year. But New York City Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt was elected vice president and inaugurated as president in 1901. Why doesn't soon-to-be ex-Police Commissioner Jimmy O'Neill give it a try? Richard Reif Beechhurst: Re "We like Like most Americans, I don't like Mike Bloomberg because of that billionaire's anal-retentive nanny-state tendencies. But given that he's opposed to the load-of-crap economic proposals being dished out by that white-haired Huck Finn of American socialism and that Massachusetts schoolmarm scolder of corporate regulation, his entry into the Democratic presidential sweepstakes would be a welcome event. Sleepy Joe plainly doesn't have what it takes to steer the Democratic Party back to normalcy.

But my bet is that Mr. Monotone would fare no better at saving that party from its suicidal socialist slide. James Hyland out is that our vote was lost. There will be no getting that back. I think there is still a valid argument to bringing back the old "lever" voting machines.

Joe Fioramonti Sr. One more scene Wantagh, L.I.: Re "Churro saga: Arrest of 2nd subway vendor fuels drama" (Nov. 11): "Act 4: You shut up, Jumaane Williams." According to Williams, it's okay to try to run a business without the proper protocol. We all work hard and have to figure out how to have and run a business. We pay taxes and go by the rules.

Why shouldn't your churro sellers? I say let them pick up their big girl panties and do the right thing. If you work hard enough, you can make your dream come true. Do it tlie right way, like the rest of us have to. Pam McFadden Crackdown Cliffside Park, N.J.: Re how hard it is to get permits to sell food in New York City: Oh well! Find another occupation. I can't get a taxi medallion.

Does that mean I can just drive a cab around the city? No! And Jumaane Williams said we should have sympathy for people earning an "honest" living. Breaking the law to make money is not very honest. These illegal food vendors are everywhere now. They should be arrested. Rob Cole Rude rides Manhattan: Twice on Saturday, my mother had conductors who were nasty to her when she asked simple questions.

The No. 2 and 3 trains weren't going to Brooklyn, where she works, so she needed help. My mother is older and never rude or confrontational. What is wrong with these people? It's a miracle that tourists still come here. Samuel Granger Left out Dobbs Ferry, N.Y: Why is it that the Daily News always forgets Korean veterans? On Nov.

9, Bramhall's World omitted Korea yet again, but listed World War II, Vietnam and Iraq. All of our veterans should be remembered and thanked. It may not be possible to list all, but to consistently leave out Korean veterans? My husband proudly served and was injured. He and all our Korean vets are deserving of remembrance. Lynn Jurgensen Todd's turkeys Oak Ridge, N.J.: Hey, Todd Frazier, maybe you need to start a new campaign for the presidents not to pardon any more turkeys.

Maybe that'll cut down on the herd Frazier is escalating his war on the Toms River turkeys," Nov. 11). Jim Heimbuch Happy hunting Ozone Park: Why can't the residents do something about the turkey rebellion in Toms River? Would they be running afowl of the law? Ray Hackinson Big bucks Brooklyn: Re "Builder Must Pay $3M" (Nov. 9): It's bad enough that these developers cheated workers out of wages; more importantly, why are developers getting "big tax breaks" to build "luxury Herman Kolender Radio rec Manhattan: To the Make Believe Ballroom fans: Voicers looking for similar music should go to Sirius Satellite Radio Siriusly Sinatra. They will once again enjoy Frank, Bing, Bennett, Clooney, Ella and Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, along with the great big bands.

No politics, all good music! Bruce Robertson Dark web Greenwood Lake, NY: The one thing Voicer J. Andrew Smith left off the laundry list of things we do online in his letter about having more ways to vote is: have our identity stolen. Yes, doing things online is secure until you get notified you lost everything and find out what you have to do to get it back. The last thing I want is to find across without insulting and demeaning one another? Whatever happened to civility? Kevin O'Reilly Paying homage South Farmingdale, L.I.: What a bad precedent to set for the incoming top cop Dermot Shea to visit the racist, huckster lawbreaker Al Sharpton at his National Action Network to disagree," Nov. 12).

This would not be logical for the future police commissioner to do unless his boss, the loony, left-wing mayor, told him to go and kiss his ring. What a three-ring circus, New York City. Dodge City (circa 1872) is more like it. MikePedano Call a friend Breezy Point: Can someone please tell me what exacdy is Al Sharpton's tide or position, other than "professional agitator" (and he's made millions doing it), and why the hell he would have any influence in choosing a police commissioner? John Carberry Subway etiquette Piscataway, N. Just want to thank Colin Fleming for his op-ed on womanspreading we talk about woman-spreading?" Nov.

12). It was not only insightful, but truthful. And, this, coming from a woman! Lilliian M. Cohen Bernie bro Brooklyn: The political establishment, both Republican and Democrat, doesn't want someone like Bernie Sanders for president. He's been called a socialist, leftist, liberal and a borderline communist.

When Trump gave a huge tax cut for big corporations, even though the federal government spent more money than it brought in last year, that wasn't a handout But Sanders spreading the money around? Helping the little guy, the poor and the homeless by putting more tax money aside for them is a handout? Robert Romeo The establishment Howard Beach: Having listened to Bernie Sanders' speeches, I've come to realize his initials, B.S., represent his campaign. Louise Price Donor Manchester, N. Re Voicer Christine Ierardi's letter: I'm in total agreement If any financial help is needed, I would be most happy to purchase an orange jumpsuit for the thief-in-chief. My extreme pleasure. AlanBerman Partisan angst Wallington, N.J.: After reading Tuesday's Voice of the People, I am truly shocked at the anger and name-calling from both sides of the aisle.

Can anyone get their point.
