发帖数: 29846 | 1 Clown de Blasio in Secret Bid to be Dems’ 2016 Nominee
Please, please, please make this happen.
Despite repeated claims to the contrary, Mayor de Blasio is positioning
himself to be the leftist “progressive” alternative to Wall Street-
friendly Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic candidate for president, a
national party operative told The Post.
The progressive alternative to the far left Granny Clinton? How can you go
any further left? Are they telling us she’s moderate or something? Well,
how would anyone know when we don’t know her positions, she’s avoiding
interviews like the plague and now on Day 8 of her campaign she hasn’t
taken a question from the media.
De Blasio’s hope, the operative said, is a “draft de Blasio’’
movement will develop among progressive activists over the next several
months that will lead to the mayor being able to defeat Clinton in the
primary elections next year in much the same way leftist Sen. George
McGovern successfully challenged the initially front-running establishment
Democratic candidate, Sen. Edmund Muskie, more than 40 years ago.
And that worked out swimmingly, with McGovern winning one state.
Standing ready to back de Blasio against Clinton, said the operative, is
the state’s small but influential Working Families Party, which has strong
ties to de Blasio and is funded by some of the nation’s most powerful
labor unions.
Earlier this year, the New York-based WFP urged Massachusetts senator
and Wall Street-bashing “progressive’’ favorite Elizabeth Warren to
challenge Clinton and run for president — but she has repeatedly said she
won’t do so.
“With Warren saying she’s not running, de Blasio and his advisers are
trying to position the mayor as the ‘draft’ candidate for the left in 2016
. That’s why he refused to endorse Hillary last week,’’ contended the
operative, who is involved in presidential politics.
Dude really needs to put down the bong. Well, we’ll give him this: He’d
probably be willing to sit down for an interview instead of running from the
media. |
