(62,325 posts)join the corporate world AFTER the election, he would have lost. But he didn't, did he, so how does the fact that AFTER the election he is showing small warning signs, change anything I said? It doesn't.
We will be watching him and letting him know that he won because he promised Progressive policies.
It will take time for the people to clear out the deceivers, they've gotten away with it for a long time and may still be under the impression they can continue to do so.
But these are different times and we KNOW we have to WATCH WHAT THEY DO, we have to trust what they say before the election and look at their background, which in his case WE DID. But if, once they are elected they change course, they will lose their next election. After a while they WILL learn, 'don't lie to the voters'.
I don't get attached to politicians on a personal level and neither do most people at this point. We have serious problems to worry about and politicians are going to have to deliver or lose no matter how charismatic, or thoroughly 'liberal' they claimed to be BEFORE the election, if they want to keep their jobs.
DeBlasio will be a good test considering what he ran on and how governs.
