At a breakfast forum in Manhattan, Bloomberg fielded a range of questions, including some about his political views and whether he is ideologically more in line with the Democratic party. Before his recent switch from Republican to independent, Bloomberg was a Democrat for much of his life. He left that party a few years ago to avoid a crowded primary for his first mayoral run."I don't think that I disagree with what any national party stands for because I don't think that either national party stands for anything," he said.
Mayor Bloomberg is not alone, as many voters continue to leave the two mainstream parties and declare themselves unaffiliated. With approval ratings for Congress and the President going further and further down the drain, and Washington not accomplishing anything of significance, why should we continue to support the status-quo. Bloomberg went on to say that "[the GOP and dems] nominating conventions are a snooze."
While Washington does nothing, Bloomberg is tackling tough issues like taking illegal guns off the streets and education. Bloomberg is a doer, and America needs its leaders to start getting things done.
