It may be Trump's hometown, but it's de Blasio's city and will be for the next four years

He is the anti-Trump, a self-styled progressive who is mayor of the president’s hometown and a prominent voice in the Democratic resistance to the White House.

Despite misgivings by many New Yorkers who complain the mayor can be out of touch with their daily concerns, Bill de Blasio on Tuesday handily won a second term in office leading the nation’s largest city, a perch from which he can remain a thorn in the side of the city’s most prominent native son, President Trump.

There is even talk that de Blasio, along with his fellow big-city mayor, Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles, might be a prospective presidential candidate himself.

“I think he wants to go national,” said George Arzt, a former aide to New York Mayor Ed Koch and a longtime political consultant.

This is really going to burn the RW hate radio community, who hate de Blasio almost as much as they hate Hillary.
