Does his place of origin matter?
Does the size of his bank account, and how it got to be that way, matter?

Even your rants about eliminating the U.S. Senate wouldn’t be met with so much negativity if you didn’t infuse every single post with your annoying goth-kid-esque “I’m more jaded and savvy than you” snottiness.
Mayor of New York, beat the local term-limits law so he could run for a third term, last time I looked he’s Jush, doesn’t matter to me, place of origin – his Mommy’s tummy?? – I don’t get this one, Bank acct is big made a ton of $$$ on Bloomberg News (which spawned Dylan Rattigan).
