Bill de Blasio's road trip snack? 'I like beef jerky too much.' And he's not proud of it.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke to POLITICO Monday as part of a series of interviews with Democrats seeking to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020.
In addition to discussing Medicare for All, gun control and more, we asked him some lighter questions: If you had to go on a road trip with one of the other 2020 Democrats, who would it be and where would you go?"I definitely have a great affection for Bernie. That's easy. I would say, I'd like to go someplace like West Virginia. I'd like to go someplace where, have a conversation with folks who think Republicans are on their side and help draw out what that's about. To show the alternative. That would be fun."A: "I like beef jerky too much.
"I was expecting a lot more weird food. The fair, I'm super looking forward to the fair. I'm going to eat many fried things. I don't think I've had a really weird food experience so far that I can point to."A: "I've never had a fried Twinkie in my life. I don't like Twinkies as they are, but something tells me they might be appealing fried. I'm going to try.""No...I think I'd want something Roman. Big gladiator fan.
...My son Dante is — for what was, for a long time — obsessed with Roman history. And the first time we went to Rome, we go to the Coliseum, and I'm thinking, 'Wow, he's really into Roman history. This could be a great moment for him.' And I'm like, 'Dante, what are you feeling?' And I'm looking into his eyes, and he looks up with this kind of stern face. And he says, 'I don't like it.
