Michael Bloomberg was no different. He started out as a Republican running for Mayor then switched to Democrat by his third term.

Bloomberg had a very interesting platform. He was quite the conservative, fiscally speaking and he managed NYCs budget to perfection. His famous line to residents was, " I'd love to provide all the services you want, but we just don't have the money to do so."

Michael Bloomberg was a great budget manager.

Socially speaking, he was a liberal.

And interestingly enough, he wanted to take all the guns off the streets of NYC and throughout the whole country.

The Republican Party did not like him for that.

I never voted for Bloomberg, but he was a very pragmatic Northeastern Republican who was not caught up in ideology whatsoever.

He disliked Donald Trump immensely and used vast resources of his money to campaign against him.

I know a little bit about Michael since I tutored his daughters and had extensive dealings with his divorced wife.
