    This isn't 1975. If things ever reached to being half that bad - the city in financial collapse, hundreds of cops being laid off, the Bronx going up in flames, Disco returning - sure, De Blasio would be gone. But Koch was the youngish Democratic alternative to Beame. And Dinkins was the leftish alternative to a Koch who had come to be seen as a pol mired in municipal scandal. (And Lindsay was a centrist Republican who became a Dem, Robert Wagner broke with Tammany...) If the mayor gets tossed by his own party, he'd probably be replaced by someone a lot angrier at the cops than him.

    We're not talking about some impossible feat. De Blassio has to be seen as reining in the cops a little bit while keeping the peace. Can he do that? He's an experienced pol. I sure wouldn't put it past him.
