1) I don't particularly like Bloomberg but I would take him as a mayor over Rahm Emanuel (even though technically Rahm isn't my mayor, either).

2) Bloomberg totally eviscerated Donald Trump last night even though he isn't the greatest speaker...Bloomberg's speech was a beauty to hear, though

the words "deeply repulsive" are a pretty strong indicator Chitown Kev Jul 2016 #17

"repulsive" would actually be closer to "disgusting" (which has a sociological context as well) Chitown Kev Jul 2016 #24

i'm fine with them being criticized, but not with them being disrespected by their own party La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 #18
