It your own fault New York ... you elected a Marxist when you could have had this!

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s political vision—and his political travels—have increasingly reached far beyond the borders of New York City. […]
It is commonplace for New York City mayors to become national figures, but some experts believe that de Blasio—not even 18 months into his first term—is risking being perceived as someone who has forgotten about his home. A poll last week showed that fewer than half of New Yorkers believe the city is moving in the right direction.
“He’s entering a path that can be dangerous for big-city mayors,” said Kenneth Sherrill, a retired political science professor at Hunter College. “It’s not unusual for a New York City mayor to be a national speaker for urban issues.

I know of no evidence that running NYC as an inept communist loony-tunes ever hurt any mayor’s reputation there.
Well, there was Dinkins.
Dinkins would have gotten a second term if not for Crown Heights.
This piece is typical AP NY-rules-flyover country myopia.
Very few people, even liberals, want their areas of the nation to emulate New York City in thought or deed. And even if they do they still see DiBlasio and his ilk in the proper light ie outer rings of Saturn fringe.
Yeah.
He would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids and their stupid dogs.
But he didn’t.
Perhaps the AP is not so concerned about de Blasio's leftist incompetence hurting him at home amongst NYC's entrenched parasitical voters, but rather him proving himself embarrassingly unworthy of national office?
Actually, it was his actions/lack thereof on Crown Heights.
Well, that and the lab mistake on Guiliani's cholesterol level.
"Let the crowd vent their rage."
It your own fault New York ... you elected a Marxist when you could have had this!
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
Hmmm, does the "past" mean, say, the past month in Baltimore?
Fake marriage,fake wife,fake pregnancy!
More like a NATIONAL JOKE. NATIONAL JACKASS. Much like THE FOREIGNERS democratic communist regime
Nice try, AP. He’s not a national figure. His gravitas wouldn’t fill a thimble.
Well, with Communists, “the present dominates the past” as the Manifesto clearly says. So “the past” is whatever they say it is, just like in Orwell’s novel.
Hell, being a Marxist simpleton actually increases your chances of being elected in any place that the "needy" reside in abundance. The needy like being needy and rather like living off of the toils of others labor to continue their sorry existence. The concept or even the existence and importance of self respect has been breed out of them.
de blobio is a pathetic commie incapable of governing.... give it time... far as national recognition... is the country that pathetic ...... this guy got put in by the real estate interests that want to develop the west side...
