2019-08-11 | De Blasio campaign event in Iowa draws roughly 15 attendees
'Mayor Bill de Blasio pitched his presidential dreams to a crowd of about 15 likely Democratic voters at an event Sunday morning in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. '
'Rob Hogg, the event organizer.“If we as Democrats are talking about that, we’re winning,” said de Blasio, before reiterating his campaign slogan, “Working people first.“Here’s the bottom line: We have a country that’s favored the 1 percent now for literally 40 years,” said de Blasio. “The rich have gotten richer. '
' Wisdom also counts.”'
'At the event — where protesters have followed him with gripes from back home — de Blasio said he’s looking forward to a battle of carnival games with son Dante.“There’s gonna be a father-son competition,” he told the Cedar Rapids attendees. “Yes, Dante may be younger, he may be stronger, he may be better-looking, but that’s not going to stop me. '
'With more than enough empty space to accommodate his 6-foot-5 frame, the quixotic candidate took the floor at Parlor City Pub to a smattering of applause from the sleepy brunch set.“Everything should be about our families, our lives, what everyday people are going through, what working people are going through,” de Blasio told the crowd, which numbered around 15 — not counting the press corps, campaign staff and Iowa State Sen.
