Bill de Blasio Wants To Battle!

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is in the running.

Another contender in an already crowded field. This one is the mayor of the largest city in the United States. He's vilified by the far-white and the police unions. He is married to a Black woman and have two biracial children. He is considered a progressive on most issues. However, he is a strong supporter of the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

He is a thorn in the hair of Donald J. Trump, NYPD Union President Patrick Lynch, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The New York Post and Fox News. He is a mayor who happens to be very outspoken.

His name is Bill de Blasio.

The mayor of a city of 9.3 million residents, de Blasio wants to get his chance to shine.

In a race where Trump does have a strong chance of winning reelection, could de Blasio make a difference?

Trump has 65% chance of winning reelection.

Do you believe Bill de Blasio ready to be President of the United States? (Expect far-right trolls to pick the dumbest answers)

Yes. Bill de Blasio is a true progressive who has the capability to take on President Donald Trump. He can take on the status quo and build a coalition of progressives. He isn't afraid to face off against police unions, conservative critics and Trump.

No. Bill de Blasio can't bring people together. He constantly puts his foot in his mouth. He is regarded as a terrible mayor who can't win appeal from the NYPD, his local constituents and voters. He is too polarizing and if he becomes the nominee for the Democrats, he could lose to President Donald Trump.

Yes. Bill de Blasio is capable of leading this nation. He isn't perfect but he's not an establishment candidate who wants to work with Republicans. His goals are to help the middle class and he's willing to take on Republicans.

No. Bill de Blasio is an incompetent leader. He can't fix the problems in New York City. Why would Americans vote for him when he can't bring Yorkers together.

I have no opinion of Bill de Blasio. I have to learn a little more about him before I support his bid.

Born Warren Wilhelm Jr., the mayor of New York City wants to hold Trump accountable for his antics.

So far, the junk food media is mocking his chances at winning. Obviously, the New York Post and Fox News were attacking his bid. The mayor and Rupert Murdoch's tabloid and far-white cable network are not friends.

Comedians are roasting his chances.

De Blasio announced his candidacy through an online video Thursday morning, followed by an anticipated live appearance on Good Morning America in Times Square alongside his wife, Chirlane McCray. The couple has two children.

“Working Americans deserve better and I know we can do it because I’ve done it here in the largest, toughest city in this country,” de Blasio said during the interview. “We have to put working people first.”

In the appearance, he coined President Donald Trump “Con Don,” using the president’s tactic of assigning his opponents pejorative nicknames as he works to position himself as the best candidate to best the president.

De Blasio, who for months publicly weighed whether to enter the race, is the 23rd Democrat to join the race and faces an uphill battle: He is late to enter the field, while other candidates have pulled in millions of dollars, gotten reams of national air time and defined their places in the race.

De Blasio's bid got off to a rough start in his home city.

As he spoke, protesters opposing his bid gathered outside the studio. “We’re trying to help the nation because if you can’t run this city, there’s no way you can run this country,” said Joe Rao, a Long Islander with the police officers’ rank-and-file union that has long been at odds with de Blasio.

And as the mayor touted an emissions reduction bill inside Trump Tower on Monday, he was silenced by opponents who rode the escalator with signs reading “Worst Mayor Ever.”

Later de Blasio is heading to key voting states — first Iowa, where he will address the Truman Club in Sioux City on Friday, then South Carolina for the weekend.

Though he‘s won every election he’s entered, recent polls have shown New Yorkers do not support his bid for the White House.

But de Blasio sees his job as an asset in that it has given him a unique experience that no one else in the race can claim and provided a platform for him to implement his progressive ideas.
