WATCH: Former NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s Full Speech At The 2016 Democratic National Convention

  1. Mike Bloomberg is a billionaire who is worth about 4 times as much as the Donald pretends to be worth, and Bloomberg started from scratch, not by inheriting a $40 million business from his father when he was 20-something.

    I did not like everything Mike did as mayor – the soda size-limit thing may be a good idea, but not one to force on the determinedly obese. And I certainly could not understand why he thought a football stadium on the West Side was a good investment for city taxpayers. And I certainly did not like his grabbing a third term, even if (i) he paid for it fair and square, and (ii) I think term limits are a bad idea.

    But he was smart and sensible on most issues and had the intelligence and know-how to learn the mayor’s job and do it respectably.

  2. I’m not going to listen to him, but for those outside the NYC area, you should know that this guy , with shenanigans from the City Council and supported by a federal judge, thumbed his nose and mocked the people as he ran and won a third term in office. A 2-term limit was voted by the people in a referendum TWICE and OVERWHELMINGLY several years earlier.
    This is petty dictator who wanted to ban large soda drinks in restaurants, bully citizens about calorie intake of foods, ordered impossible parking and driving regulations and wanted to shove climate change down our shmendrik throats.
    But Trump is the problem.

  3. Commenter no. 3: Could you be more specific about what Bloomberg got wrong, other than somehow beating the term-limits rule and the silly soda thing. I don’t recall any climate things being shoved anywhere near me.
