NYC is on a pretty solid footing right now thank’s to Guliani and Bloomberg. That may take a while to undo, even if one tries real hard. If NYC is something less than a total disaster in 6 years, look for DeBlasio to run for POTUS. Assuming Hillary loses, of course.

they probably didn’t show up because you know, the other guy was probably just as bad, or maybe he was Mormon, or maybe he wasn’t really hard core conservative or maybe he was a rino...you know all the important reasons NOT to vote......

Thanks for the good chuckle,cherry.

The other 78% DID NOT EVEN SHOW UP.

That's because De Blasio's opponent had all the charm of nail clippings and met with the shakedown artists like Sharpton. Lhota had none of Rudy's charisma.

I understand exactly where you're coming from and in no way am being critical or have the desire to admonish you, but New York City is nevertheless part of the US and would not wish this sort of government on anyone, let alone upon fellow Americans.

It's tragic enough that we are being subjected by this sort insidious left-wing, liberal creep from the Federal Government, and now having it erupt from another highly influential, fundamental vantage point is no time for any American to be getting out the popcorn.

New York City's influence goes far and wide across the nation as a social laboratory of sorts, where many of the programs, services it initiates serves as incubator for other cities to implement, emulate.

Certainly not anything I would consider fun to watch.

He probably kept changing his name to keep one step ahead of the FBI while he was busy supporting the communist Sandinistas and traveling to Nicaraugua.

This guy is as RED as they come, its ludicrous that the CPUSA now has control of the NYC Mayors office.

Well, the consequences of this will be a populace education program of itself.

OTOH, the demise of NY will be harder to sweep under the rug than Detroit.

Kwanzaa is seemingly on a fading trajectory.

They need a new PR firm, some high profile lobbyists, get Congress to pass a law or two, crank up FaceBook and Twitter, maybe hire Malaria and Sharia Obama for some YouTube shoutouts.

This is great! If a Commie Democrat says $500,000 a year, what they mean is $65,000.

Completle meltdown on the way.

Pre k is earlier than usual reprograming. His record is skipping on pre k have not heard anything else except stop and frisk being unfair to young black men and this will change, which means more murder and mayhem for NY

To briefly explain my position...

We're circling the drain, our civil society is a memory that will never be re instituted at the ballot box. I view the Cloward/Priven strategy as a conservatives best hope at this point...and the sooner it comes, the better. It is a good time to be old and I want to go out removing as many of our enemies as I can. But I could be wrong...

I would have thought NYC already would have had universal pre-K. People there will be so happy when they get it though, but they still lack knowledge.

Make the horses stop working because it is hard, and working conditions are cruel.

Next they will need to provide govt. feed and care for them.

New York / Progressivism in a nutshell.

It does seem like the NYC average IQ is on a sharp slope downward and faster than ever.

It shall be very interesting to see what Comrade Bill does to New York City and how the bourgeois respond. Maybe he’ll place them under house arrest so they can’t leave.

Yes, he wants to stop abusing animals but open more abortion facilities in “underserved” areas.
