Mayor de Blasio’s endless drive to win respect as a national progressive leader hit another banana peel Saturday with the defeat of his candidate to chair the Democratic National Committee.
The mayor had dramatically flown to Atlanta on Friday afternoon, after his 4½-hour grilling by federal prosecutors probing the possible sale of City Hall favors, to rally support for Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison.
The change-the-subject stunt annoyed some in the Ellison camp. As Mary Kay Linge and Aaron Short reported in Sunday’s Post, one Democratic source said Ellison allies had asked de Blasio not to come: “The buzz is, what the f–k was he doing here?”
After all, the mayor has built a rep not so much as a progressive leader but as a progressive opportunist. During the long Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton contest for the 2016 presidential nomination, he first tried (and failed) to play power broker, as with his unsuccessful efforts to make both candidates attend his own issues forum.
Behind the scenes, he was trying to get the Clinton camp to make him its point man with progressives as a condition of his support. In the end, he got nothing for holding out months after virtually every other New York elected Democrat had endorsed Clinton. . .

He’s ugly, he’s corrupt, he’s a commie, he has a lesbian wife and a drug-addicted kid and he’s incompetent. You’d think this was enough to get him the Democrat presidential nomination...what went wrong?
How can you possibly have any respect for some one like this rat...
This is the same problem with Hillary Rat...John Podesta Rat...Paul Ryan Rat...John McCain Rat...Linda Graham Rat...Nancy Pelosi Rat...Chuck Schumer Rat...and the list keeps going on and on, feel free to add to it, I’m sure we could include most senators, representatives and government department heads...former POTUS...former V.POTUS...

He’s loathsome, but just not enough yet. Once he gets indicted, then he’ll be in with the in crowd.
Good point!
I think being grilled by the Feds in his corruption case may be a bit of s banana peel all by itself.
They don’t own the DOJ anymore.
“The buzz is, what the f–k was he doing here?”
These hardened leftists always impress by their wide and varied vocabulary. (IOW, showing their dearth of intelligence by their gutter language.)
On the contrary, he is one of the last of the great lovers. He got a confirmed lesbian to flip... and marry him.
If DeBlahblah was North Korean, he would have already been subject to artillery fire.
Poster Boy for the dysfunctional left.
Your description of his characteristics make him a model for a Democratic leader....he,he,he,he,he
How so, if he were formerly known as Ludwig De Fellatio, wouldn't that be a marriage of mutual beardly convenience?
He’s always seemed a little gay to me.
