And You Thought You Were Sad Now. Get Ready for President de Blasio.
National Review ^ | April 6, 2016 | Matthew Hennessey

Conservatives don’t want to read about Bill de Blasio. This I have learned the hard way. Publish an article about New York’s lefty mayor in a conservative outlet and the reader reaction will be as predictable as a Mets loss on opening day. “Why should I care about this?” goes the typical comment. “New Yorkers voted for this crazy guy. Let them suffer the consequences.”

Fair. And true enough. If you live in the Midwest or Texas or Florida — or anywhere, really, outside the self-obsessed media market of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut — the constant barrage of Gotham-focused news surely strikes you as irksome in the extreme. I wouldn’t like it, either. But I’ll tell you why you should care: Bill de Blasio is going to haunt your politics for the next two decades, no matter where you live and regardless of whether you like it. There will be no tuning him and his progressive crusade out.

Translation of “Hohenzollern” is, appropriately, “high official”.

In NYC, he's also known as the Dope from Park Slope. Park Slope is a toney urban Brooklyn neighborhood of brownstones. He still owns a brownstone there which he rents out for $5000/month.

By 2020 de Blasio will be as relevant as 8 track tapes.
