2. Really? That is very interesting.

Is there bad blood between de Blasio and Bloomberg?

3. Yes big time is my understanding

De Blasio ran partly on a platform to end Bloomberg's "stop and frisk" policy

6. NYT: "Trump's Competition for Most Unpopular Politician in New York: de Blasio"

Juli 1019:

Mayor Bill de Blasio has at least one thing in common with President Trump, the man he would like to unseat: Their fellow New Yorkers love to hate them.

In a Siena College Research Institute poll released on Monday, the two men outdid all other New York politicians in receiving a negative net favorability rating.

Among registered voters statewide who responded to the poll, 34 percent had a favorable opinion of Mr. Trump, while 63 percent had an unfavorable opinion — for a net negative of 29 percent.

Mr. de Blasio, who has embarked on a long-shot campaign for president, did almost as badly: 29 percent had a favorable opinion and 53 percent an unfavorable opinion — for a net negative of 24 percent.

No other politician

8. This is huge

I remember when Christi was the first really big name to endorse Trump. Many more soon followed. deBlasio is the Mayor of the largest city in the country.
