I’m guessing he’d hoped to come off a little better, but I assume Bloomberg knew going in that this would be about how it would go in the debate.

My first choice is a strong consumer agency. My second choice is no agency at all and plenty of blood and teeth left on the floor.

A word of advice to the “sober curious” or people who are just hipster-ey enough to want to flirt with the idea of being sober in a booze soaked social circle.

Far better.

Except that’s not his actual track record.  His actual track record is a weirdly inconsistent series of policies he pushed while he was the mayor of New York city that don’t put him in clean alignment with either party.  You can accept that this is true or not, I don’t really care, but that won’t change the fact that…
