Former New York City Mayor and Independent Michael Bloomberg appealed to Republicans and centrists to back Hillary Clinton in his speech Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention. "Whatever our disagreements may be, we must put them aside for the good of our country," Bloomberg said, calling Clinton "the candidate who can defeat a dangerous demagogue." While Bloomberg said he, too, knows "what it's like to have neither party represent my views or values" and certainly didn't shy away from acknowledging his disagreements with Clinton, he said what is most important is electing a "sane, competent person." "Join with me not out of party loyalty but out of love of country," Bloomberg said.
