De Blasio has that glow that people only get when their political enemies flounder

We were overdue for a good night. The wait was worth it!!! A big victory for hope and for the beginning of a political revolution in this country. Now we need to make 100 nights like this all across the US. 💪 The political revolution that started in 2016 is back on the agenda.
