Why would a US senator need to endorse a mayoral candidate I like him and and don't much care for Chuckles but they're not really in the same sphere

    Mayor of New York City is probably the most powerful mayoral office in the world.

    So, he's still just a city mayor

    If NYC were an independent country, it'd still rank among the top 10 GDPs in the world.

    If NYC were a state, it'd hold about the 12th highest population, about equal with Virginia.

    It's population is larger than Hong Kong, larger than Laos...almost as large as Switzerland, Austria, Greece.

    To say he is "just the mayor of a city" is like saying Eric Clapton is still "just a guitar player".

    They're all spineless geriatric leeches. I just wish one of them had an original mandate that they would stand behind, even if I disagree with it. But unfortunately, the voting system doesn't afford it
