Mike Bloomberg's mayoral races have become a quadrennial farce in which an outmatched Democratic party hack, whose only virtue is having done enough favors for those above and below is pounded to pieces by a billionaire with virtually the same political views, but a virtually unlimited amount of money and a great deal of cunning and determination. New Yorkers who do not like Bloomberg and have never liked him, are likely to go out once again to vote him in, mainly because the alternative would be worse. And the sad thing is they are right.
