Bloomberg has proven record

I agree completely with Mr. Kaer (“Bloomberg, he’s our man,” Jan. 24). Michael Bloomberg has proven ability in both business and political arenas. His successes are achieved and maintained through legal and ethical means. His wealth ensures he is not financially indebted to outside influence. He readily admits to being human, having made mistakes; and correcting those (stop/frisk). Mr. Bloomberg treats, speaks to and of people with respect. He encourages and lifts up rather than denigrating, demeaning, threatening and belittling others.

Current Democratic candidates are highly experienced, knowledgeable and present excellent goals for policies and programs beneficial to our country. None of which can be implemented under a second Trump administration.

Mr. Bloomberg is well equipped and able to stand up to and counter the myriad false claims made by Donald Trump. He has facts, not fallacies. His is a proven track record of business and political success, not one of failed businesses, bankruptcies and secrecy, to say nothing of lies in the thousands.
