New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and is challenging Bernie Sanders in the 2020 presidential race, now says he believes Sanders would have beaten Donald Trump.
"In my heart, yeah," the mayor said, when asked during a wide-ranging interview at POLITICO’s headquarters Monday if Sanders would have won the general election three years ago. "You know, hindsight’s 20/20, but I think when we look at it now, that was a moment where there was such desire for change," he added.
De Blasio's embrace of Sanders comes as the Vermont senator is one of the front-runners in a presidential race where de Blasio is struggling to gain traction. He is polling at zero to 1 percent and had about 6,700 individual donors as of the latest filing — far short of the 130,000 needed to qualify for the next Democratic debate. He declined to answer a question about whether he would remain in the race if he doesn't get into next month's debate.
Told that de Blasio now thinks Sanders would have won, Clinton campaign staffers’ reactions ranged from eye rolls to anger.

Oooo, deBlahsio speaks. Ooooo...
Hey, Bill! Trump is our President!!
Hey Bill!
Maybe you can have The NYPD move some furniture for Bernie into his lakefront socialist house.
Every time someone quotes DeBlasio they should have the snot beat out of them and make them pay for a round of drinks for everyone else.
What an incredible loser in SO many ways. Did his wife tell him where she blew the $859,000,000 last year on one of her”projects”?
Truly delusional.
Political reason to say this: Clearly, Canky is not going to be the nominee. Blazio thinking he’d like to be the burn’s running mate, should the bern get it.
He can say what he pleases.
Maybe but it’s a moot point because he didn’t. The DNC screwed Bernie in 2016 and they will screw him again in 2020. This time he’ll be too old to come around for another screwing.
He’s old, white, and male and not even a Democrat, what the hell does he expect?
Hmmm. I thought we had just gone through eight years of the fundamental transformation of America. What, was de Blasio hoping for something more Sandinista?

That’s in an offshore account.
fox said Monday it’s over billion now
Who on earth cares whether this bum speaks or burps? Same level of intelligence shown by both.
Oh how I wish I had started back in 2015 collecting a list of every nutty, goofy, BS nonsense celebrity pronouncement about PDJT.
Bernie might have won...
Then again Hillary would have certainly won had she picked Bernie as her Veep instead of chuckles the creepy clown Kaine.
Hillary could have schmoozed the donors while Bernie brought the crowds...
But Hillary was too petty and thank God she was!
I always love to rub this fact in the face of ally my democrat family members.
What I remember about Bernie is he was almighty tired of hearing about hillary’s email.
Who cares what that panty wearing communist thinks about anything anyway?
Bernie just wasted time and money ,LOL
