Michael Bloomberg
Last I looked - and I'm not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It's most states are winners take all.
Michael Bloomberg
I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.

Michael Bloomberg

The main claim to fame, I think, of Bernie Sanders - who I've never met I'm sure he's a pleasant guy - [is that] he's certainly not stupid.
Michael Bloomberg
Design does matter. And not necessarily in a way that people realize. A lot of what you do, people take for granted - that a park has always been here, that a bicycle lane has always been there, that the street is safe or clean.
Michael Bloomberg
If you think of all the publicity about the terrible tragedy of Virginia Tech, we have a Virginia Tech in this country every day. It's just spread across 50 states.
Michael Bloomberg
