[Jeb Bush] could, as I describe it, run the railroad.[John] Kasich could run the railroad. Hillary Clinton can run the railroad. Running the railroad is the most important thing. You have got 4 million employees you've got to make the system work, and it doesn't work very well.
Michael Bloomberg
You can bet - a good chance of Hillary [Clinton], a good chance of [Donald] Trump - but not 100% in either case.
Michael Bloomberg

The problem is, that nobody wants to take the loans. Once the banks are willing to give it, that's only half the problem.
Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg
