Bill de Blasio holds out hope he'll pick up 2020 momentum any time now
The Week ^ | 9/12/19

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio after failing to qualify for Thursday's Democratic debate is crossing his fingers his campaign's turning point is just around the corner.

Ahead of the third 2020 debate, NBC News spoke with some of the Democratic candidates who weren't invited because they didn't reach two percent support in four qualifying polls and reach 130,000 unique donors, including de Blasio, who has generally been polling at between zero and one percent nationally.

So what compels someone like de Blasio to even stay in the race, NBC wondered? At a recent event, the New York City mayor discussed the "tantalizing" notion of hitting two percent in the polls, noting that he's "been at 1 percent, like, 10 times," and suggesting he's essentially sticking it out because there's always the chance he'll suddenly pick up steam.

"An hour from now, one of those special moments could happen,” de Blasio said. “I'm not meaning that to be like believing in magic. I'm just saying, we just don't know. So the way you maximize the chance for that is to keep staying out there and saying what you believe."

One of the problems the Left has is the fact that they live inside an echo chamber, which makes their voices seem louder (to them) but also prevents them from understanding that not everyone is like them.

Some people here live inside the FR Bubble as well.

It’s human nature to be more comfortable with people who believe as you do.

The difference is, truth leads us here, not bias represented as fact.

Shotgun Joe “dementia” Biden the Groping Pedo said it best, “we believe in facts, not truth”.

If they ever are allowed to make Dr.FuManchu remakes again, and if they could again allow a caucasian in the role , he’s got the job down.

No offense to the great Christopher Lee and the great Boris Karloff both of blessed memory.

He's the last one in the bar at closing time. If no date by that time there isn't going to be one.

Time to go home...alone.

NYC Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio is going nowhere other then to “Hell” when he passes at the wishes of our savior, Lord, God Almighty. But he should take confident comfort that the rest of his nutcase, baby killer, 2020 Democrat candidates will be following his footstep in the same fashion. Case Closed!!!
