Donald your fellow business leaders need you
Run for Mayor it is a great job and the platform is the biggest in the world.
Run Donald Run.
With that said the very last person who should be mayor is Quinn who sold Thompson down the river in 2009 and the voters who voted twice for two terms only,
She made a DEAL to allow for third term and she does not deserve to be Mayor she should be send packing to NJ full time.
She claims "I KNOW NOTHING" about Vito Lopez's house being moved into the district.
Does anyone really buy that ?
She could be the next Sargent Quinn who says "I NO NOTHING"
