Opinion | Bill de Blasio’s race to nowhere — maybe

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. By Jonathan Capehart Jonathan Capehart Opinion writer focusing on the intersection of social and cultural issues and politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 16 at 6:43 PM Look, I know I’ve been saying for months that anyone who wants to run to try to defeat President Trump should run. And now New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is the 23rd Democrat to join the race for the presidential nomination. But hizzoner really shouldn’t.

Still, there are other reasons de Blasio is doomed — chief among them being how much his fellow New Yorkers don’t want him to run. In a Quinnipiac University poll last month, 76 percent of New York City voters said the mayor shouldn’t run for president. His job approval rating in that same poll sat at just 42 percent. So laughable is the idea of a de Blasio run for the Oval Office that the New York Post published an instant-classic front page to welcome him to the race.

O’Malley was the former hard-charging governor of Maryland who threw his hat in the ring for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination against former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders . While those two espoused support for issues close to the hearts of the Democratic base, O’Malley could actually talk about how he made them happen in Maryland.As I noted at the time, national Democrats favored helping undocumented young people go to college with in-state tuition.

Espero que los newyorquino noboten por el estos nunca se a ocupado de los pueblos y de la pobreza. Ellos viven bien y con eso les basta. Nono as a salir ni de Camionero

Journalism is dying

YOU HAVE A RACE IN YOUR FACE

It's definitely a race to nowhere

As a moderate & not a fan of Trump I do try to fairly question a lot of what’s written and said by all sides. Not easy sometimes,but I don’t see the point of so many candidates. Similar messages, similar themes, but no-one stand outs. The field is getting wider but not deeper IMO

De Blasio will be parading his son out on the stage in no time.

He destroyed N.Y. He'll never get the chance to destroy America.

Is he wearing George Washington’s dentures?

we’re on the road the nowhere come on inside taking that ride to nowhere we’ll take that ride i’m feeling okay this morning and you know we’re on the road to maga here we go, here we go

Dude killed a groundhog ffs

realDonaldTrump beat a tough field of some of the brightest and most recognized GOP candidates. The TheDemocrats are throwing so much crap at the wall hoping something sticks. P.S. BuildTheWall P.S.S. TrumpTheVote2020

No one wants a communist, but hard core communists. So, there is no maybe, you weak reporter. He won't be winning, but making a small fortune as a contribution recipient. That's all he's running for.

Can you get much worse than Trump ? I do doubt that Bill can !

Oh it's all but guaranteed, no one likes the guy, not even the citizens of NYC.
