I enjoyed listening to him.

The second half I thought he let his inner Lord Pushypants get the better of him.

The other thing I noticed is he’s much better on the fly than he is with prepared statements. His closing remarks were wooden compared with the riffs and the rebuttals.

but the problem is, most talking heads hate him. They made some unfair, nasty comments about him right after the debate ended. So unprofessional!

You like people who are like yourself.

De Blasio seems like he’s very anti-war. That is a good thing.
