Except now he may, I emphasize may, spend a few minutes in NYC "doing his job," something he is loathe to do and not very capable of doing.
He violates daily one of the cardinal rules for electeds.
He believes his own press.

New York City needs a full-time mayor. de Blasio's quixotic campaign was silly from the start.

As far as I could tell no one was interested in him and many saw it as a kind of bad joke.
