Report: Bill de Blasio Secretly Preparing To Challenge Hillary Clinton In 2016

[MADem]

7. A bit late for April Fool's Day....? This seems very odd to me.

DiBlasio owes his political CAREER to the Clintons--he would not have been elected were it not for them. They helped with his fundraising ENORMOUSLY.

New York City’s de Blasio for President in 2016? Not Likely

According to an unidentified "national party operative" who spoke to the New York Post, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is eyeing a 2016 presidential run, hoping to mount a progressive challenge to Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But the mayor insists he isn't interested in any office but the one he currently occupies. Asked for comment, his office directed Newsweek to an April 18 interview with WHO-TV's Dave Price. When asked if he was eyeing the White House in 2016, de Blasio responded, "No, I'm eyeing my own office. The only thing I'm doing is running for re-election as mayor of New York City 2017. That's what I'm eyeing."

Speculation about a possible presidential bid arose earlier this month, when the mayor's office announced de Blasio would travel to Nebraska and Iowa to promote awareness of income equality, a key issue in his bid for mayor in 2014. De Blasio's camp said the trip had nothing to do with the 2016 election, but for some, the timing was too perfect—the mayor missed Clinton, who was campaigning in Iowa, by mere days....

This makes me wonder if there's a leaker somewhere, and this story was fed to that person so they could figure out who was shooting off their mouth? Wouldn't be the first time a trap of this nature was laid.... Either that, or this "national party operative" is pulling someone's chain for shits-n-giggles.
