Didn't he bankrupt Cleveland?

Possibly. I really don't know anything about him. I just saw that he had announced and read a quick rundown of his viewpoints.

OK, apparently he just made the city default on some of its obligations. Still, the story of his stint as mayor of Cleveland does not inspire confidence in his executive abilities.

Well, it depends on what you want.
From his viewpoint, defaulting was the better option, and, some believe, turned out in the long run to be more beneficial to the public than selling a city-owned utility under tremendous pressure from area businesses. Your interpretation will probably depend on what you think is right, but it is fairly clear that there were shenanigans on the part of business.
I don't particularly like Kucinich as a presidential candidate, but in this particular episode, he showed a level of spine not evident in most modern politicians.
