Mayor Bill De Blasio just explained how Sanders can still win...

[brooklynite]

......drawing on his vast experience as a successful Presidential candidate.

1. I saw parts of that interview

He says no one knows anything about politics, it's unpredictable, and then predicts Bernie will win. DeBlasio is a special kind of crazy.

2. LOL the glare Elise Jordan gave de Blasio could have burned him if looks could kill

and she is a conservative!

de Blah Blah is blowing alot of smoke, as is the rest of Sanders' campaign - revolutionary smoke & mirrors.

5. Where does he get the idea Biden hasn't been tested/vetted/challenged?

[brush]

8. It's so stupid. I'll take vetting Joe over Sanders' socialist oppo any day.

6. I also just have to say, we have had an amazing turnaround. Two weeks ago, Biden supporters

were considering Bloomberg as an alternative should Biden fail (me )...we thought Sanders might win Carolina. The polls indicated an anemic win at best. Super Tuesday was so bleak, it made me want to weep. In the midst of this, Clyburn endorsed and by God the race turn around 180 degrees...I have not considered the power of endorsements since Obama (Kennedy endorsed early). I think the endorsement made all the difference. Having someone who believed in Biden gave others almost permission to vote for Biden. Thank you...Jim Clyburn. And then the other moderates running for president put aside their ego's and did what was best for the country...what integrity! I am amazed at this. This would only happen in the Democratic Party...the same party that sacrificed a house majority to provide health care for millions of Americans which was and still is a BFD. I am proud to be a member of the Democratic Party.

7. Oh, is that who I heard quoting screenwriter William Goldman?

Suddenly a lot of people who want Bernie to prevail are quoting screenwriter William Goldman, who famously wrote "Nobody knows anything." He was talking about a studio executive's inability to assess whether or not a treatment (idea) or screenplay would make a hit movie, a masterpiece or a bomb. That is true (or mostly true) in Hollywood, but it ain't true in presidential politics or many other areas of knowledge.

Ignorant people, or even people of reasonable intelligence who disagree with the prevailing opinions of experts, for some reason, absolutely love that particular William Goldman quote. Anti-vaxxers and climate change deniers probably love that quote too.

9. That's our mayor!

de Blasio swings all over the place. Some good and some not so good.

[nycbos]

15. About 90% of his political wounds have been self inflicted.

[CTyankee]

11. Is this all about Bloomberg? If so, Mayor DeB shouldn't be doing these interviews.

I don't believe him.

[nycbos]

14. It is about Lis Smith.

She worked for de Blasio's successful 2013 campaign. At that time she dated Elliot Spitzer. I believe de Blasi didn't take her into the administration because he was scared of tabloid headlines. She eventually wound up working for Mayor Pete.

De Blasio lost one of the best minds in the party.

[CTyankee]

16. So what you are saying is he wouldn't have done this if he still had Lis advising him?

That sounds reasonable. The guy needs the best minds and skills around him to deal with NYC. That's too bad. I have a son and grandson in NYC so I want the best for them (and I love NY).

[nycbos]

17. Maybe?

His operation lost one of the best minds of the party.

Hindsight shows Mayor Pete was the better career choice her but no one knew that at the time.

[still_one]

12. Mayor De Blasio is such a popular mayor after all

[nycbos]

13. I know his bitter about losing Lis Smith to Mayor Pete do to his own stupidity...

... but damn this take cake even for him.
