for a major political office in America, defends his socialist leanings? Bill de Blasio speaks, at least to some extent, openly about his democratic socialist past. How will NY voters respond?
Can't remember the last time I heard an American politician say, in no uncertain terms, that the Cuban embargo is wrong. Is he crazy? I guess all the Cuban-Americans live in Florida.
If him really bad suh, lets see if he'll say something nice about Palestinians! That's when NY will get used to the idea of a Mayor Lhota.
Of course, the US has a Muslim president so de Blasio is not that radical!

Bill de Blasio squared off with his mayoral rivals Monday as he defended his support of Nicaragua's former Sandinista government and his 1994 Cuban honeymoon.
Republican Joe Lhota and Independence Party candidate Adolfo Carrion Jr. drew distinctions between their political philosophies and de Blasio's, and questioned how the front-runner's leftist activism more than two decades ago would influence him if he were elected mayor on Nov. 5.
"In his own words, he called himself a Democratic socialist," Lhota said. "It's really unfortunate that that's the level that we've come to in this city.
