I agree Quinn would have been a better mayor. De Blasio was elected because he is not Bloomberg and he has good-looking children.

Not only is the city as unaffordable as ever, but now the parks are getting icky and there are skivvy people all over the sidewalks wherever you look. Rag on Quinn all you want, but she is loud, and wouldn't put up with all this nonsense. She would also have a much better relationship with the state government which would benefit the city.

Hopefully they'll continue to decline before his first term is up.

Good looking children? What are you blind? Have you seen what his goofy looking son looks like? If he wasn't the son of the Mayor he'd have a tough time getting laid. Unless its a chick that's as aloof looking as he is. The daughter is not too bad looking though. She could hold her own.

But as far as De Blasio, I really can't stand the man. I don't think I've ever had as much resentment in a mayor as I have for him. He is by far the worst Mayor we've had in my lifetime. I'd gladly take back Dinkins for him. At least with Dinkins, NYC was already $hitty and he just kept it going. With De Blasio NYC was not too bad and he managed to make it worse for everyone. Not one group has benefited from De Blasio's reign except for criminals and thugs.

My Way News - New York City's mayor fighting bad ol' days perception

I wonder if Christine Quinn will jump back in the primary next time around and attempt a come back. She always stuck me as being more suited for the job, like a female Laguardia or even a Giuliani. Doubt she would have thrown temper tantrums against the governor if she didn't get her way.
I don't like Quinn at all. She'd be much worse than De Blasio. Real talk. In any case if De Blasio loses it's going to be to someone in republican party.

Nobody in the political world really likes Cuomo. He is a bully.

So I am reading two distinct tirade from the anti-DeBlasio crowd:

1. He is a socialist moving a socialist agenda.
2. He is getting nothing done.

Can those two things actually co-exist?

He has a socialist agenda but in reality is getting nothing done.

There, paradox fixed
