Someone who avoids a significant amount of the vetting process and then tries to use his billions to buy ads and influence offers me nothing I can trust.

And then there is Bloomberg's stop-and-frisk and anti-illegalization of weed policies that are deplorable.

To support both of these policies you really have to hate young people but especially poor and/or brown young people because these laws are applied differentially to them.

You can keep your NYC billionaires.
