He is actually 5'7". Not the "mini Mike" of 5'4".

Still, he would be the shortest "recent" President BUT, as such, he is at a very distinct disadvantage in the election at 5'7".

Oh and, still plenty of jokes about how he will need a box to stand up on in any debates, , , , ,! LOL

Forcibly asking American citizens for their papers is unforgivable in my opinion.

I inherited the police practice of stop-and-frisk, and as part of our effort to stop gun violence it was overused. By the time I left office, I cut it back by 95%, but I should've done it faster and sooner. I regret that and I have apologized -- and I have taken responsibility for taking too long to understand the impact it had on Black and Latino communities

Earlier this week, audio surfaced where Bloomberg is heard describing the policy as a way to reduce violence by throwing minority kids "up against the walls and frisk them."

This! and in regards to the whole "Stop and Frisk" thing (which was bullshit) it was started by Gulliani

Any way you look at Bloomberg, he will not have significant support from Berners or POC.

I don't see any scenario where he beats trump.

I agree.... but in reality he is exactly what Trump voters idealized in Trump.... except that Bloomberg is actually a SELF-MADE billionaire (not a trust fund baby) and has civic leadership experience..... without all the false bravado and BS catch phrases. (he is a bit pompous though)

Honestly what they love about trump is his bullying. When he's mocking or insulting someone, they imagine themselves having power instead of sinking in debt and falling behind under late stage capitalism.

In the political revolution, we're trying to get anyone who works for wages to recognize who the real enemy is. It's not trump, he's just a talented con man. It's the system that made those people feel so alienated and exploited that they would elect a shithead like him.

Happy, satisfied and fulfilled people do not vote for trump. The more virulent their support, the darker and emptier they are inside.

Our current President is obese and someone is worried about bloomberg's height?

Things people can't control
Height, skin color, sex

Things people can control
obesity, education level, whether you are a douche

Stop and frisk ended in 02. So if there's an issue about it, take it up with a recent advocate.

All Americans are created equal. We are not a police state.
