Bloomberg makes Obama look like Ted Cruz. If Bloomberg is a "right wing nutjob", what is Obama? Well to the right of Hitler?
And every mayor of NYC, regardless of politics will "get in bed with Wall Street". Isn't that kinda a "duh" statement, given that Wall Street is NYC's lifeblood, analogous to Hollywood in LA, Silicon Valley in the Bay Area, and autos in Detroit?
Also, pretty sure that neither Giuliani nor Bloomberg ever supported Bush II, to say nothing of support for "war crimes."

Both served the interests of Wall Street and the 1% instead of the diverse 8+ million people they were elected to serve. Both cut city and social services and were antagonistic towards unions. Both supported Bush's illegal war and genocide in the Middle East. Both supported local police and Bush policies that discriminated against and violated the civil rights of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities and the homeless population. Bloomberg is a bonafide right winger who pretended to act progressive, so he could gain power. Shame on NYC voters for allowing him to do so.
