Michael Bloomberg is (probably) running for president as a Democrat. Apparently, he has decided to take the Hillary Clinton approach — that is, hold your finger in the air and flip-flop your previously deeply-held positions whichever way the political winds are blowing.
At issue is the former New York City mayor’s weekend apology for his decades-long support for “stop and frisk” policing policy. On Sunday, Bloomberg decided to blatantly pander to black voters and declare that he was “wrong” and “sorry” for ever supporting the policy that has formed an enormous part of his mayoral legacy.
