He bought all of his mayoral re-elections by ensuring his opponents were patsies. He hates talking to regular people, not to mention the poor and the brown, and from the outside would appear to be operating primarily in terms of ego. He's certainly not inclined to justify any of his positions, all of which are why he hides out in TV commercials. When he deigns to appear in public we see him get a critical beatdown like we did in last week's debates, effortlessly.
Frankly I see him as a stalking horse for Trump, a research project to see how Dems are strategizing against rich, ego-bound, New York jackasses. Rich people are bound to each other before they are bound to politics, choosing a party is just a matter of personal quirks. They got theirs, the rest is just scorekeeping and princely follies. You can bet Mark Zuckerberg is paying attention, though. He's definitely going to be bored enough to stick a plank out in 5-10 years or so.
