(115,838 posts)so maybe I can hop on the bandwagon, too. We might as well all do it, and then the DNC can just draw a name out of a very large hat.
Seriously, this is getting pretty stupid.
*Update* My advisory committee, consisting of three cats, has just informed me that because I am not popular among my constituency and do not have a strong base of donors, I should just stay home and feed them, so I'm out. Should I send my committee to advise Mayor DiBlasio?

(26,366 posts)Its unclear exactly what the potential Johnny-come-lately candidate expects to find in Iowa, given that every poll out of the state has him at 0 percent (or not even listed), while high-profile progressives like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren already occupy his hypothetical lane. Moreover, its unclear where de Blasio is getting the idea he should enter the crowded race in the first place, considering absolutely no one seems to want him there. Of nearly three-dozen allies and advisers surveyed by Politico in March, only two said he should run, while the rest considered the idea to be, as one adviser put it, fucking insane. A Monmouth poll found that, of every single Democratic candidate, both declared and undeclared, de Blasio was the only one with a net negative favorability rating.
