Eric Adams, the moderate Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, said Sunday that members of his party should see from his victory that "we can't be so idealistic that we're not realistic."

"Cities are hurting all across America and New York personifies that pain -- the inequalities, the gun violence, the lack of really looking after everyday blue-collar workers, I like to say," Adams told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos. "And we have failed for so many years. And we've allowed the fallout of the Trump administration to have an overreach in philosophy and not on-the-ground, real issues that are facing everyday New Yorkers."

"So is it -- is it fair to call you an anti-woke Democrat?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"No, I -- I've -- some of us never went to sleep. That's the problem," Adams responded.

3. He strikes me as a triangulator. There's a lot happening that reminds me of the early

1990s right now, and we are still paying for it. Triangulation was the favored political path of democrats for two decades.

Adams is an ex-cop who will be in charge of New York. But I don't live there, so what do I know?

4. I Hope Dems Don't Emulate Him

Everyone around the 'This Week' panel was touting his win, until the anti-Donnie Repub strategist pointed out he only garnered 30% of the vote, swamped by the total progressive votes.
