New York City Mayor and very tall person Bill de Blasio spent his speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention reminding everyone just how "little" Donald Trump is. Trump, de Blasio said on Wednesday evening, "has degraded women to make himself feel big while showing us the truly little man that he is." He called Trump "one of the least generous billionaires our country has ever seen" and wondered how Trump can "pretend to be for American workers when he didn't even pay his own workers."
As much as Trump is "reckless, risky, wrong, and scary," de Blasio said, Hillary Clinton is "smart," "steady," "right," and "ready."
