An Independent Bloomberg Would Be A Democrat On Policy

Hundreds of miles from the hustings of New Hampshire lurks a possible presidential candidate who supports gay marriage, abortion rights and stricter regulation of handguns. Who doesn't mind taxing the rich on their income or big companies on their carbon emissions. Who says that deporting illegal immigrants would destroy the nation's economy. And who is not necessarily averse to adding more bureaucrats to the government payroll.
