i’m not sure what the point of changing the name was, because was never any way he was going to get our vote.

we vote conservative, not based on where our parents and grandparents came from.

that’s just good for a free place to stay in Sicily :)

His mother was of Italian descent. Apparently his abusive dad left the scene early so he changed his last name to her maiden name which was Deblasio.

And besides, a travel ban during the blizzard is not martial law.

The point of the name change? To make him more electable.

He got somebody's vote. Lots of low information voters out there.

“i�€™m not sure what the point of changing the name was, because was never any way he was going to get our vote.”

It was a cynical calculated political move to assume an Italian identity on the premise that being Italian was better for more votes than Dutch-German. If he could have sold his soul he probably would have weighed that option as well IMHO
