Congrats on your reelection, Mayor de Blasio.

If he wins a second term, do you see him running for president or being the VP candidate?

He may run, but he won't win. And he won't be VP.

Massey has not voted in years according to NY records. He recently moved to NYC. I don't think he understands NYC politics.

Well, for one thing he's a Republican in NYC.

Scott Stringer endorsed Bill de Blasio today, shutting down any rumors of a run.

[The Other Castro]

I told you that De Blasio faces trouble in the white ethnic outerborough areas of NYC....keep underestimating them. They still exist.
