NYT reports:
de Blasio, a Democrat who is currently the public advocate, leads his Republican opponent, Joseph J. Lhota, a former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, by 45 points among likely voters, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll. That lead, which has remained remarkably consistent in multiple polls over the last six weeks, suggests that Mr. de Blasio could win the most sweeping victory in a mayor’s race since 1985, when Edward I. Koch was re-elected to a third term with a crushing 68-point margin of victory over his opponents.
They're thinking he's a nice looking guy and tall; therefore, he can take leadership. Most people are driven to be enslaved whether on purpose because they like the idea of being taken care of or because they like the humanistic factor of being led by a strong looking guy. We are a danger unto ourselves. Whatever consequences that deBlasio brings, it's only the end result of people's want of being enslaved.

DeleteThe two parties have their ascribed function in our political system. The Democratic machine creates massive poverty, and the GOP becomes the caretakers of the system once put into place.
DeleteIt'll be interesting to see what NYC gets. I suspect it won't be what they think but it will certainly be what they deserve.
ReplyDeleteYeah, to begin with, they'll get a HELL of a housing crisis, but they'll blame it on us.
