What does Bill have against meeting with people?

From Gotham Gazette:

Scott Stringer has led 16 town hall-style events since becoming Comptroller; Letitia James, the Public Advocate, hosted her 28th on Wednesday night in Brooklyn. As has been well-documented, Mayor Bill de Blasio - along with Stringer and James, one of three popularly-elected citywide officials - has not yet held a town hall event himself.

Is it time for the mayor to host one?

As de Blasio and his team wrestle with how to combat sagging public opinion poll numbers, what they see as unfair press coverage, and a perception gap that many agree leaves New Yorkers thinking de Blasio is performing worse than he actually is, it may be time for de Blasio to take his message directly to the people and hold his first town hall.

Der Wilhelm is afraid to let anyone know that he cannot do his job.
His wife and son are his chief advisors.

He is afraid they are smarter and more awake than he is.
Hitler was afraid of his generals.

He's got nothing to fear. No one in the electorate will ask him any intelligent, challenging, questions. They'll want to know why their block can't have a speed bump... Or an all way stop sign...

Simply put... big Bill is afraid that people will see through his incompetence.
It is also a sign of the mental illness that runs in his family.
Change your meds and your shrink, Der Mayor.

Paranoid fear that the people will see right through him.
Can you imagine a fearful quarterback in a football game?
Well, that is who is New York's wimpy figurehead.
No matter.
Der Wilhelm takes his marching orders from REBNY and gets his meds from his psychiatrist.
Time to write some new script for your patient, Dr. Feel Good.
The old stuff ain't working. It somatizes Der Mayor. That's why he's oversleepin and always tardy.

De Blasio is a propped up paper mayor.
Everybody is covering up for his ineptitude.
They want to keep their jobs.

Can you imagine a one to one between De Blasio and Trump?
Der Donald would leave Der Billie trembling!
Even if Der Mayor would snort some cocaine befor facing the people,
he would barely be awake.

How ironic.
This former public advocate is afraid to face the people.
He does not have to.
He now advocates for the NYC real estate industry.
That is where he gets the money to run his political campaigns.
This big six foot doofus is really a REBNY runt!

I'd say it's his fear that they might best him.
He does not strike me as being a confident mayor.
At least Ed Koch could handle a crowd,
like an accomplished stand up comic
could handle a heckler.

For a big blond superman , Der Blasio comes off as a scared rabbit.
