    He’s disavowed his best claim of success ... lowering crime with stop and frisk. He’s apologizing for most of what he did as mayor.

    Ironically, Bloomberg has said what the left really means.

    Bloomberg is getting eviscerated on debate stage, made out to be a racist who rounded up minorities and persecuted them with stop and frisk. Welcome to democratic party mr. Bloomberg!

    my two cents? He should just OWN it and stop apologizing. He reduced crime by 50% and so why doesn’t he say ‘i saved thousands of lives!’

    mr bloomberg is melting..

    When Trump decided that he wanted the GOP he simply took it by ramming the heads of opposition GOPers through brick walls. Bloomberg figured that he wouldn't have to have at least as much as Trump by way of grit and smarts? I bet some of his high price advisers just got fired.

    No. Like the last election, I’ll write in a candidate. I vote for candidates, not political parties. I know that’s difficult to understand for binary thinkers who can only see black or white and not the thousand shades in between.

    As someone who has voted third party most of their adult life, it isn't difficult for me to understand at all. However what I eventually came to accept is that although there are many shades of thinking, elections in the US are binary choices. If you can't distill your multi-shaded thinking into deciding which of two candidates are either the best for you or least damaging, than please, waste your vote on a comedic write in candidate.

    It’s not about wasting votes, it’s about sticking to a moral code. Either you are true to yourself or you’re not.
