As you know, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has entered the large field of Democrats vying for that party’s nomination next year. De Blasio geared up for his first meetings with Iowans this way:
Mayor de Blasio has arrived. In jeans. And they are not “dad” jeans. And he appears to be wearing new shoes. In fact, he looks so put together that I’m wondering if he is working with a stylist. Because this is not the mayor’s usual look. pic.twitter.com/Rt2c6tZkZ1

De Blasio speaks with 10 small family farmers in the living room of a couple in Churdan, Iowa. He’s been in here for about 45 minutes so far. pic.twitter.com/ezKTAalVX9

This is always the “fun” part of the presidential primary season, and it’s just getting started.
He's so authentic. ?

LOL.
Are you suggesting he is putting up a facade that is not actually him? https://t.co/J1GfRloSoA

Skinny jeans the new look in Iowa these days? Somebody’s gotta tell him he ain’t in Park Slope anymore…

Someone please Photoshop him with a beard and a man bun so the look is complete.

And things are just getting started.
