You guys seem to forget that before DeBlasio, there were 20 straight years of Republican rule as mayor in New York City consisting of 5 terms, starting with Giuliani.

Bloomberg doesn't count.

Bloomberg was one of the most efficient, most competent, least corrupt mayors New York City ever had.
He had his quirks like soda bans and what not sure, but he was a very good mayor.
He financed all his campaigns himself, owed no favors to anyone, had no loyalty to the good ole boys of the Dem machine or anyone. He totally did what he thought was best for New York.
Comparing Bloomberg to DeBlasio is like comparing the sun to the moon.
