If there was ever a walk-over victory it was last night when Bill De Blasio easily won a second term defeating Nicole Malliotakis by an overwhelming margin of 66% to 28%. It's not that surprising being that NYC is a traditional liberal powerhouse although the one place the republicans have always done well is with the mayor race.
But what is more odd is that throughout the campaign, the person we heard more about than anybody was Bo Dietl. Dietl is a contributor to FoxNews and the Imus in the Morning program, so he has some name recognition. So much recognition that there was a debate a week ago and he was on the stage with De Blasio and Malliotakis
How the hell did the election commission give him that platform? This guy got 1% of the vote which is about the equivalent of getting a 400 on the SAT's. The only person who got less votes than him is a guy who literally tried to hijack a plane (http://nypost.com/2017/10/25/this-mayoral-candidate-once-tried-to-hijack-an-airplane/). The guy who finished above him is a movie producer who was doing this as a shtick.
De Blasio got more votes in a combo of three or four buildings than Diedl got in total
Let's just hope Bo just goes away for good now
