It's not just that he purports that 80% of what he says is true- something that's hard to discern because all he does is toss babble word salad- but he claims that 80% of the American people agree with him on his "positions". Something else that's virtually impossible to discern because who the hell knows what he believes beyond that middle of the road dems are always right and Mayor Bloomberg is peachy.
