You will like Bloomberg's work, if not the candidate himself. He did very well in New York city.

Te only thing he is known for in NYC is racial profiling, (stop and frisk) higher rent prices, and more homelessness.
@RoboGraham Do you know the general public in New York had known about Stop and Frisk for a long time and still Bloomberg was re-elected? It is an issue in presidential elections in the Democratic presidential elections, especially in primaries because no Democrat can win nomination without black votes.
While mentioning other things, you are completely ignoring his successes as a mayor.
Exactly. We can't win without the black vote. So why would we put up a candidate who has a major liability with black people and any other people who have morality?
Black people support Biden and Bernie more than Bloomberg. He won't even win the nomination. Unless there is some serious foul play.
I am unaware of his success. I made a comment about what he is known for in NYC. If you want to bring up his successes, let hear it.
@RoboGraham
If Bernie is nominated, the Democratic Party is dead.
If Bernie is nominated, the democratic party as we know it is dead.
@RoboGraham with No Future i should add
No neoliberal future.
@RoboGraham That is who Bernie is
Exactly, Bernie is the guy who will take the party back from the neoliberals.
Three words... stop and frisk.

I seem to remember hearing the original phrase was 'stop, ask and frisk'. I could be wrong though.. The outcome was the same.
I bet, if you say no, you'd be more likely to be frisked.
Only criminals with something to hide say no to a cop ready to feel em up.
@RoboGraham Agreed. My first thought though was they were asking what they were doing.... where were they going.... not 'can I search you'.. But again, I could be wrong. Outcome still the same. 
That would make sense.
Oh? Like what he said to an employee having difficulty finding a nanny: "It's just a BABY. All it does is eat and shit. It doesn't know you [the mother] from anyone else. All you need is a black person who doesn't even speak English to save it from a burning building."
And there are pages and pages more where that came from. I took the trouble to read a 25 page legal brief on some of the toxicity in Bloomberg LP, including committed by Michael himself.
So no ... I don't have to like some of the things he has said over the years.
