De Blasio campaign event in Iowa draws roughly 15 attendees
|
| Why would the nice folks in Iowa be interested in what a city slicker has to say, especially given how poorly his city is doing on his watch? |
[NYPOST] Mayor Bill de Blasio
 ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly...
pitched his presidential dreams to a crowd of about 15 likely Democratic voters at an event Sunday morning in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
With more than enough empty space to accommodate his 6-foot-5 frame, the quixotic candidate took the floor at Parlor City Pub to a smattering of applause from the sleepy brunch set.
"Everything should be about our families, our lives, what everyday people are going through, what working people are going through," de Blasio told the crowd, which numbered around 15 ‐ not counting the press corps, campaign staff and Iowa State Sen. Rob Hogg, the event organizer.
"If we as Democrats are talking about that, we’re winning," said de Blasio, before reiterating his campaign slogan, "Working people first.
"Here’s the bottom line: We have a country that’s favored the 1 percent now for literally 40 years," said de Blasio. "The rich have gotten richer. Everybody else has been pretty much treading water."
The pitch was met with a mixed reception by the few there to hear it.
"I liked a lot of what he said," offered Carol Wickey, a 78-year-old retiree. "[But] I thought in his prepared comments he focused too much on working people."
Wickey said that she feared the divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled ...
tone would drive a wedge between Democratic voters and ultimately wasn’t sold.
