New York City's Hard-Left-Wing, Incompetent Mayor is Plotting a Presidential Bid Against Hillary Clinton

From JWF, another country heard from.

Fred Dicker reports:

Despite repeated claims to the contrary, Mayor Bill de Blasio is positioning himself to be the leftist "progressive" alternative to Wall Street-friendly Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic candidate for president, a national party operative told The Post.

De Blasio’s hope, the operative said, is a "Draft de Blasio" movement will develop among progressive activists over the next several months that will lead to the mayor being able to defeat Clinton in the primary elections next year in much the same way leftist Sen. George McGovern successfully challenged the initially front-running establishment Democratic candidate, Sen. Edmund Muskie, more than 40 years ago.

Sadly, I'm not sure if he's crazy to think America is now prepared to throw in the towel and embrace socialism, and the politics of decadence and decay.

I don't think he'll be the parties chosen socialist.

More likely they'll pick that squaw from Massachusetts by way of Oklahoma.

Maybe he figures nobody will notice the difference? McGovern was kind of out there for a democrat, but that was then. Other than skin tone, how is de Blasio different from that other middle of the road candidate, Obama?

14 So, the former mayor of NYC, who cleaned up the crime and helped with the healing after the tragedy of 9/11, is unelectable as declared by the GOPe. But this idiot (and that's being kind), is considering a presidential run on the grounds that he's left of Hillary?

SMOD/Yellowstone Caldera 2016 is the only choice here.

25 If the Left had any intellectual honesty beyond just acquiring power, Hillary should be the bottom of Progressive's list.

She would be the Republican equivalent to Charlie Crist.

DeBlasio is definitely the real deal as far as Left-wing bonafides.

For that to happen, Hillary would have to break down and cry on national TV (as Muskie did in 1972, dashing his campaign's hopes).

But that can't happen this time around, since the current release of Hillbot doesn't have tear ducts!

Get out of NYC before you're thrown out Bill.

36 Thats insane. Not only is deBlasio merely a mayor, but he hasnt been mayor for much longer than a year and has no accomplishments to his name. It was one thing for Giuliani to assume that he had a chance, since he had served his terms as mayor, pulled NYC out of the crime morass of the 70s and 80s and was admired because he handled himself well in the agftermath of 9/11. But still Giuliani wasnt even nominated.

What on earth makes deBlasio think that hes got a snowballs chance???

48 The only upside to this is that the Clinton machine can sling mud like nobody else. And if Hillary has a shot she will try to take down anyone who tries to get in her way. The knives may be out for her, but she can probably make everyone else on the list unelectable in the process (for the next 4-8 years at least, then oops! down the memory hole).

73 If someone like de Blasio or Sanders or Warrendoes manage to do an end-run around Hillary and take the Democratic nomination and the GOP base does somehow manage to beat the big money donors backing Jeb Bush and nominate a conservative, then at least the choice will be clear: a binary, freedom or no-freedomproposition.

I'd like to think my countrymen will choose freedom, but admit it will be difficult to defeat the Democratic Party's Free Shit Forever campaign messaging.

Yeah, DeBlasio is his mothers maiden name, I believe. He had a real German sounding name before he (ahem) went in to politics and started courting the Italian and Hispanic votes and wanted a more... culturally diverse sounding name.

Well, actually, he claims (I think) he didnt want his dads last name cuz his dad was a dick. So, fair enough I guess.

85 Here's what the left is (I think only now) realizing:

The ideology of whoever they run doesn't matter.

The media will cover for them, their voters are dumb, politics is (thanks to the media) now very "tribal" and the LIVs who swing elections don't know shit about anything.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they run a loud and proud socialist / communist like de Blasio.

At all.

Because it would never be mentioned, and would not dissuade a single D vote.

They see their revolution as upon us. They think (maybe they're right) that 51% of the country is now openly happily waiting for our socialist utopia to come about.

88 These people live in a such an urban liberal bubble that they think the whole country votes as people do in cities.

Outside of major urban areas populated by poor ethnic minorities and hypocritical trustafarian honkeys, no one would vote for De Blasio.

Unlike Warren and Obama, he's not even a stealth communist, but simply an out-and-and self-admitted communist.

Yeah, but the D party doesn't give a shit about the hinterlands.

Look at the electoral map by precinct for 2012 (or 2008 or whatever year you want other than the Reagan landslides).

Urban areas and the close in suburbs are where Dems win elections. They don't give a shit about rural areas, they wont win them anyways.

Like Grayson, and Plouffe, and even Rush Limbaugh are now saying -- THERE IS NO "MIDDLE" in american politics anymore (if there ever was). Elections are slugging matches to see who can turn out their base the best.

Time for the DA, some judges and even cops to face civil penalties as well as lengthy jail time. Act like fascist thugs, get treated like fascist thugs (at least until the US is completely a fascist thug state anyway.)
But of course they won't because that isn't how the system treats its own. We live in a version of hell of our own making. Might as well just abandon the pretext that we don't and go full socialist so at least -everyone- knows what the game is.

I think they figured it out in 2012. But yeah, exactly what you said. Who the candidate is and what they believe, how able they are what their background is like etc, they are confident they can get a win out of because of media and popular culture control. And the machine is in place to get that fraud to give them the final bump.

Even though DeBlasio and Obama have the same ideology, DeBlasio would lose in a Dukakis-style fashion if he were the nominee.

If 2-3% of this country flips, Democrats lose. That's a jump ball in my opinion.

If Obama won by the same margin he did in 2008, than yea, I would say we're in a period where the Democrat Party is the default party in the US.

But 2010 and 2014, the country really snapped back. The GOP holds more political office than just about anytime in the last 100 years.

Promising a million times to do something and then actively stating you're not going to do it once elected is a super super good way to get people to vote for you.

188 Then shouldn't have Obama won the Election by like 20 points? With all that going for Obama, he beat Mitt by like 3 points.

Miserable economy, campaign that was deliberately insulting and demeaning to the bulk of voters, Benghazi news leaking out, huge scandals looming in the memory of voters, and Romney seemed really presidential. And you're surprised he didn't win by more? President Obama would have lost big without all those advantages.

Posted by: prescient11 at April 20, 2015 01:31 PM (q5APL)

I consider myself a Republican's Republican. I vote in the primaries. I vote straight ticket in national elections. I voted for McCain in 2008 and then four years later I voted for Romney, both Establishment favorites.

No way I'm voting for Jeb Bush. No way. The big money men with the fat cigars buy the nomination for a pudgy cipher with no discernible leadership, politicalor rhetorical skills but whose last name is Bush (a name that doesn't exactly shout electability), a shlub who looks like the local manager of a small town hardware store, and I'm done with the GOP. Enough is enough.

To paraphrase e.e. cummings, 'there is some shit I will not eat.'

205 Good news on my LIV fam: none of them like Hillary and plan to vote on her. And they will set themselves on fire before they vote for Jeb. So proud.

Bad news on my LIV fam: all of them have bought the MSM line on the conservative nominees that none of the candidates are electable. All of them said when I mentioned that I liked Ted Cruz, "Isn't he the crazy one?" And of course his being crazy ties back to the guvmint shutdown, because govmint shutdowns are bad, mmmmkay? *rolls eyes*

They are not paying attention so I am going back in my archives and compiling good articles on the GOP candidates, like the one comparing Cruz to William Tell. Most have no clue who Walker is, so I have a chance to influence them before the media utterly poisons him. But they already think Rubio and Cruz are on crazy train. A few of my younger friends like Paul a lot, though whether or not he is actually on the crazy train, I can't confirm or deny as of yet, lol.

In short: No one in LIV land in my neck of the woods seems thrilled to vote for either side. Maybe everyone stays home in 2016?

Posted by: LizLem at April 20, 2015 01:50 PM (yRwC8)

206 188.

I think a 3 point election means the White House is a jump ball.

Democrats had a MASSIVE voter advantage during the times when Republicans like Nixon and Reagan won 49 states. That advantage has actually dwindled considerably.

The idea that a Republican can never win the White House again seems premature in my opinion.

All the stops were pulled out for Obama, the MSM didn't even play the game of appearing unbiased, and I honestly believe the only reason he held on was the turnout operation going on in the background saved his bacon.

Posted by: McAdams at April 20, 2015 01:52 PM (D5chc)

207 It's cute that you think a member of the media would ask her this question at a debate.

The Republican MIGHT (but probably not because Republicans are totally okay with high-paying jobs [as they should be]), but even then, a moderator will step in with something about 'personal, private info not being relevant to the issue at hand.'

213 There will be at least one progressive challenger to Hillary. I expect one to be backed by Obama & Co (at least covertly). DeBlasio has strong ties to the Inner Party, so this piece rings true. Note that DeBlasio may be the blackest white man in America. The reporter on this, Fred Dicker of the NY Post, is quite good, especially on NYS and NYC politics. Hillary is vulnerable to being pinched on one side by the Progressives and on the other by an Angry White Man (Webb / O'malley). Even more if there's a minority candidate in the mix.

215 Time to divide and move. We cannot coexist in the same nation - it is time to cut the irredeemable leftist counties out of our States and reform our two nations. One for the superleftists, free shit army reserves, and Social Justice Freakazoids, - under as they wish a socialist dictatorship in all but name with no rights but that given to them by their owners/masters in the government.

The other a liberty based constitutional representative republic with one addition - Socialism and all attendant philosophical organizations are banned. And after a suitable period to reorganize, no one from the Soviet Enclaves will be allowed in Free America.

And the Soviet Enclaves will necessarily not be allowed their own arms or armed forces. We bore the burden of being targets and supporting our nation's nuclear forces - we keep them. All.

No immigration allowed from the soviet areas that are loyal to FSA or that kind of "entitlement" mentality.

Then let them select their emperorkingdictator and we can sit by and make the fences that keep them out. And laugh.

Because fuck the left.
