He's an amazing philanthropist. I am most worried about the policies he enacted that had a negative impact on people's lives. Will he govern as president the way he governed as mayor? Its not just stop and frisk. His policies often had a negative impact on the poor and working class. I have heard people say, oh, he will be checked by democrats if he tries to enact undemocratic policies. Well, the republicans thought they could control Trump too.....

Oh and then there was the push to get rid of term limits so he could stay on as mayor for a 3rd term. Those things leave a bad taste in my mouth.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
