Reporters peppered Mayor Bill de Blasio with plenty of questions Thursday morning about the June 2 Democratic mayoral primary debate, and Hizzoner offered a frank assessment: He wasn’t inspired by what he saw.

In de Blasio’s eyes, the slate of eight candidates vying to succeed him did little during the two-hour discourse on Wednesday to prove themselves worthy of becoming the 110th mayor of New York City. He charged that many of the candidates seemed misinformed about his administration’s record, or about how the city functions.
