New York City mayoral election, 2017 thread

Other Democrats that could run include former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn

Isn't she too busy being Bloomberg's butler these days? Its because of her he got a third term in 2009 which he didn't deserve. She ain't going nowhere this time either.

City Comptroller Scott Stringer

Uh, if he's the best we've got, I'm sticking with di Blasio. I'm still mad he defeated Eliot Spitzer last time.

Come on Dov Hikind, this is your chance!

Dov Hikind is the worst the Jewish-American community has to offer.  The man is an absolute disgrace.

Somehow I doubt that.

I was being semi-sarcastic when I said he should run but calling him the Jewish Al Sharpton is harsh.

I mean ignoring his general bigotry, endorsement of Trump, support for people who commit hate crimes against Muslims, the fact that he dressed up in blackface for a party, has said gay marriage will lead to "incest and beastality," his corruption (pretty sure he was actually indicted at one point), and his support for racial profiling, there's also the fact that hid evidence of over 1,000 cases of sexual abuse at orthodox Yeshivas in NYC.

Wow. That is shocking to say the least.

He must be the only Democrat in the country to have endorsed Trump.

Lol, Bo Dietl is running.

It appears Darren Dione Aquino is running as well. (both Republicans). Anyone know who that is?

Bo Dietl is a gross D list celebrity. Di Blasio will win again if this is the best the opposition can do. And he should, cause I think he's a great Mayor. Not as great as Guiliani, but still great enough.

No I've never heard of Aquino. Oddly enough I just learned what Lumpia was this week, and with the events in Davao City tonight, the Philippines has never been more relevant.
