Mike Bloomberg would probably be a pretty good prospect for The Democratic Party as the nominee if it weren’t for two things: The first and biggest problem is that he thinks that the system is so corrupt that he can just buy the nomination. The second and pretty ugly truth is that through all his corrupt actions in the past, as mayor of New York City, he drags a ton of baggage with him.
Does anyone remember that as mayor, Mike Bloomberg changed the law that stood for at least a century, that instead of serving the standard two terms as mayor; he decided that he was deserving of three terms, and he changed the law to make it so. Needless to say, at the time, this infuriated both Democrats and Republicans.
There were some candidates that were looking forward before that happened, to run for mayor, and unseat him. So, the policies like “stop and frisk” and the targeting of predominantly poor black neighborhoods are really small potatoes in comparison to this dictatorship move.
The other problem is that Bloomberg is apologizing for what successfully reduced violent crime in the city by seventy percent. All just to appease those voters on the left that if not for anything would find some identity political thing wrong no matter what someone does, less so with Democrats, but there’s no getting away from that. His flip flopping is so obvious.
Trump may be a lot of things, but at least he, if nothing else, is principled. Bloomberg also boasts of creating five hundred thousand jobs, but in a city of twenty million, that isn’t a very high percentage. I’m sure if someone was to do some research about Donald Trump, as a businessman created far more, and comparatively many more of those jobs went to minorities in construction not in the financial sector of Wall Street, like Bloomberg.
