De Blasio to run in 2020?

[Ringo1]

I don't know that anyone can stop DeBlasio from running but he certainly wouldn't be my pick.

Their outrage is the equivalent of self-soothing; akin to a child's blanky. The only consistency seems to be their inability to let go of the blanky and face the reality that their "outrage for votes" scheme is now long dead.

My prediction: the center left has lost all control of their party to the Twitter Left, mostly due to the fact that the center Left utterly relied on outrage politics for decades to win (which is what the Twitter generation provides and excels at), and thus the center Left will be unable to field viable candidates from here on out. Instead, increasingly fringe and otherwise nontraditional candidates will make the ballot. Candidates who can and do win mayoral races but can not win presidential races. The Presidential race is a unique animal, and there are factors in winning it, which I will not discuss, which are going to get increasingly marginalized for ideologically acceptable candidates to the far Left.

Have fun with that. I predict a violent Leftist revolution within twenty years as a result of this increasing inability to win elections combined with doubling down on increasingly ineffective outrage politics. The end result, of them not getting their increasingly radical way, will be a declaration that the system is terminally corrupt and must be violently overthrown.

After Nixon resigned everyone said it would be a generation before another Republican was elected.

After Reagan was elected the death of the Democratic Party was predicted.

After Bill Clinton was elected every one wondered if Republican would win the WH again.

After W. it was said that the republicans would not control the WH again.

So, yeah, believe your utter nonsense of revolution and the inability if Democrats to win elections.

You need to stop listening to Limbaugh, Jones, Bannon and Hannity, otherwise known as the four horsemen of stupidity.

As someone to the right of center I hope the crazy leftists nominate him because, as a New Yorker I am absolutely sure he would lose the general election in a landslide.
He could not get elected dog catcher anywhere outside NYC. He is corrupt, lazy, smug, and arrogant. He believes in communism without using that word. He was very active in support of the Sandinistas and is in love with the Castro regime.
He was nominated four years ago in a very competitive Democratic primary because he was the most extreme leftist of a bunch of leftists.
So how did he get elected and re-elected as mayor in NYC? Very simple. NYC is 87% Democratic, and he pandered to LARGE blocks of one-issue voters to whom corruption does not matter such as union members and rent regulated tenants. They go where the money is. Their votes were bought.

Then there are the "progressives". They would rather vote for a corrupt "progressive" than a Republican, any Republican. It's called liberal hypocrisy.

BTW, he "won" the election by getting the votes of a resounding 16% of total registered voters. The turnout was very low.

Fortunately the US is not NYC. He would lose in a landslide.

is he a good choice for the Dem nom?

deBlasio was elected by the least amount of people voting in back to back elections. He got caught taking multiple bribes and no one cared. These are things I find quite disturbing and will kill his chances in any type of national election.
