Bloomy, the crapetbagger from Mass, was a life long DEM, ; however, when he wanted to run for mayor of NYC, the Dem field was GIGANTIC, so he ran as a pretend GOPPER and won that nomination and then, the mayoralty.

Bloomy was NEVER a GOPPER, but he used the GOP and that's bad enough for today's Dems to go ballistic on him. LOL

It’s a tradition in NYC. La Guardia was an FDR supporting New Dealer. John Lindsey was one of the last liberal Republicans and later made an official switch to Democrat.
