    Whenever I feel like that and wonder why the media is doing this and that I can only think of 1 person. The Hag!

    His past statements are cascading back to haunt him. Mike is going to spend millions to lose an election.

    With all these comments like this coming from Bloomberg I think a lot of people will change.. their votes to Trump. The left is turning into a party of racists and commies...

    Bloomberg is like Biden. He likes his blacks to be clean and articulate.

    He said Obama was the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” What's all the other Black people like Joe Bloomberg?

    I didn't find Bloomberg's comments, in the context of the problem he was addressing, racist at all.

    To be sure, that in no way implies that I consider Bloomberg the best candidate among those being offered by either party. The most urgent problem in American politics is the corruption embedded increasingly in all facets of its political institutions under the influence of the pro Israel lobby, comprised of Christian Zionists, AIPAC Jews, and the military industrial complex who each feed propaganda to fuel imperialist, interventionist, and various related crusades (the past couple of decades, Islamophobia). Add another pernicious lobby, namely the NRA, and you have the cast of characters whom any person who wants to do any good in politics, and has the kind of wealth and resources Bloomberg has at his disposal, should not just avoid, but go after. Since Bloomberg isn't doing any of that and even tries to maintain his ties to some of these groups, he isn't going to be the person to save America from its darkest and most vile side.

    If Mike can do it, more power to him.

    Just WIN!

    Uneducated or lesser educated people certainly don’t have the tools to properly handle a corporate environment. I have seen this first hand my entire life. Crap. Just look at how people working at customer service at any store are incapable of doing their jobs.

    Teachers in schools couldn’t handle a day in corporate without getting their ass handed to them with all the whining and complaining.

    New graduates from college are having trouble adapting to professional workplaces. The mere fact corporations are even considering safe spaces now, boggles my ducking mind. Are you kidding me with people entering the workforce not having the coping mechanisms to accept criticism or even dealing with speech they possibly could find uncomfortable? It’s astounding.

    More Democrat party racism on display.

    Bloomberg will sent Jessie Jackson and Stacey Abrahms a few million and the problem will go away.

    The hypocrisy is shamelessly astounding. Now back to Talking about Trump's rental policies from decades ago.

    Unfortunately in Bloomberg's case not enough to stop being at his core just another bland neoliberal hypocrite.

    It's natural for me to not want Bloomberg, but even from your perspective he is a poor choice AJ.

    This is the problem that I see.

    Bernie Supporters MIGHT Vote for Biden (given a Binary Choice vs Trump).

    Bernie Supporters WON'T Vote for Bloomberg (Because he is a "Billionaire who bought his way in").

    So, of the TOP 3, Biden is the only Dem. who even has a prayer of Winning.

    Bernie will be a disaster and the Dems will lose the House.

    If Mike is nominated the Bernie People will sit it out (or vote 3rd Party, Etc.)

    If Biden isn't the answer they are going to have to hope for an open convention (and somebody like Michelle Obama, Etc. to emerge).

    I don't think Bernie or Mike (for the reasons stated above) have a prayer of Winning the General Election.

    In other words, if you are a Dem. who wants to defeat Trump (and you don"t like Biden) you are going to have to hope for someone palatable to emerge from an open convention.

    Sure. Why not.

    Trump changed.

    Look at the "Riff-Raff" he used to hang out with:
