Cillizza: de Blasio Wants To Be an Elizabeth Warren-Like Figure, ‘Clearly Has Other Intentions’ (RealClearPolitics)

"I would say this is more about Bill de Blasio than it is about Hillary Clinton," Cillizza said on Wednesday'sAndrea Mitchell Reports. "What Bill de Blasio wants his future to look like which is not just the mayor of New York City, but sort of a voice for progressives around the country. I think he viewed his election in many ways that he embraced a very progressive agenda in a Democratic primary and won extremely convincingly."

"I think he wants to be sort of an Elizabeth Warren-like figure," Cillizza also said. "Sort of holding Hillary Clinton accountable for the left, being sort of a spokesman and representative for the left. Who knows what he would like to parlay that into beyond being the mayor of New York City. But, quite clearly, he has other intentions."
