Bill de Blasio’s finally gets to share the stage with Bernie Sanders. A dream just to be in the national stage but then gets a little laryngitis.
Despite his faltering voice, de Blasio made the trip to Nevada to try to talk up his endorsement of Sanders in advance of the Democratic caucuses. Whether voters in Reno know anything about the current mayor of New York City apparently isn’t the point when a former mayor of New York City is gaining steam in the polls.
De Blasio sounds like he wants to be Sanders’ attack dog when it comes to Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg’s success must be infuriating to de Blasio – whose own presidential campaign evaporated in a flash.
Bloomberg’s rise does provide de Blasio with a new opportunity to get some attention by trying to correct the record. But do you really want to be the guy who’s more than six years into his term and still railing about his predecessor?
Politics is a tough business when you want to give voice to the voiceless – especially when the voice you’re losing is one’s own.
