His politics aside, he just comes off like a goof to me when I see him on TV. Gidney N Cloyd Nov 2017 #3
He could never raise enough money and he is scandal prone Sen. Walter Sobchak Nov 2017 #4
The only thing De Blasio has going for him is: he's a Democrat brooklynite Nov 2017 #5
You're right, he would have minimal national appeal, we can do better in 2020. FreeStateDemocrat Nov 2017 #6
I don't agree. We need someone to draw in millennials ecstatic Nov 2017 #7

I like him. I'd prefer to see who else is running. I would certainly support him or any other DEMOCRATIC nominee! So, "I'm not sure".

Just to see that big guy shaking hands with Trump on a debate stage. Just imagine how much bigger his hands would be.

Being from Chicago rather than NY, I of course don't see him very often.

and there is a higher standard for behavior than merely not being indicted.

De Blasio has been cutting deals with every developer in town to give them extra floors in their megatall apartment towers (many going to Russian and Chinese oligarchs looking for a place to park their assets) in exchange for building "affordable housing" units...somewhere else. Add to which, the City isn't investing in any public resources (schools, sewers, etc) to support the growth in population.

And I think he could, even if only based on his family.
