"with his formerly gay wife..."
I thought this was IMPOSSIBLE according to leftists.
NOBODY can ever stop being gay, and there are laws against even attempting to talk to someone about "conversion therapy".

They elected Hillary to the Senate twice.
They are capable of anything when it comes to electing communists, socialists, one-worlders and other democrats.

In 2001, Bloomberg was the Republican nominee and defeated Democrat Herman Badillo.
In 2005, Bloomberg was the Republican nominee and defeated Democrat Fernando Ferrer.
In 2009, although changing his party affiliation from Republican to Independent in 2007, Bloomberg decided to run again as a Republican and was uncontested in the Republican primary. Bloomberg defeated Democrat Bill Thompson.

Anybody remember the old 1981 film
Escape From New York?
DeBlasio is just the guy to make it come true.

Mark Green was the Democrat that Bloomberg beat in 2001.

To: Olog-hai
correct and the only reason he changed his party affiliation from democrat to Republican was because he had no chance as democrat after Rudy Giuliani, who was called America’s mayor after the 9/11 2001 terrorist attack at the TWC

They elected Hillary to the Senate twice.Way before that, they elected Bobby Kennedy to the Senate.
The stupidity of New York voters "exceeds expectations".

Im betting NYC becomes uninhabitable in 10 years. Remember Escape from New York? But the genre is still with us: Will Smith did a re-make of Omega Man in New York.
Or how about Goodfellas? What a bunch of guyz!

.... Rudy Giuliani, who was called Americas mayor after the 9/11 2001 terrorist attack at the TWC ... Remember Giuliani talking later about walking downtown (down West Side Highway iirc, but I could be wrong) and getting close enough to Vesey Street that he was starting to be surrounded by blowing paper and dust, and thinking he might be coming down with a heart attack? He was really feeling it, the strain was tremendous that day. He paid for that "America's mayor" rubric.

"Anybody remember the old 1981 film Escape From New York? DeBlasio is just the guy to make it come true. Beat me to it."
Here's a bit of trivia for you. Escape From NY was almost entirely shot in... St.Louis.
That's right, New York wasn't crummy enough in 1981, so they looked for a place even WORSE.
Plus it was much cheaper to film there.

De Blasio's success proves the one eternal rule of the game in politics: Victory is never permanent, nor is failure.Or we are ever one generation away from chaos.
