Just in case Hillary and Donald haven’t soured America on ever again making a New Yorker President, Mayor Bill de Blasio threw his (Red Sox) hat into the crowded ring on Thursday. That makes 23 Democratic candidates so far.
“There’s plenty of money in this world! There’s plenty of money in this country! It’s just in the wrong hands.” And with that, de Blasio launched his campaign.
Touting his accomplishments – $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave, free pre-K for all – the Mayor added, “I’m a New Yorker. I’ve known Trump’s a bully for a long time. This is not news to me, or to anyone else here. And I know how to take him on.” Trump, of course, is also technically a New Yorker although he almost never comes here anymore.
“Bill de Blasio of NYC, considered the worst mayor in the U.S., will supposedly be making an announcement for president today. He is a JOKE, but if you like high taxes & crime, he’s your man. NYC HATES HIM!” ~President Trump
“NYC has record low crime & record high jobs. We’re investing in working families with free Pre-K & guaranteed health care. #ConDon taking advantage of working families is no joke.”~Mayor de Blasio
