  1.  @GenaGilder  Ignore him, he is a hateful little pisher, probably an incel.

  2. Trump was never a billionaire, and Bloomberg was not an heir. Unlike Trump, Bloomberg started with little and became rich through intelligence and hard work.

  3. He is data driven. When he thought there was a strong candidate, who could beat Trump, he stayed out. But, when Joe Biden began to stumble he became worried. It is not that he fears someone like Warren would take all his money. (He gives away much more than her taxes would take.) He does not think someone so far to the left could win the battleground states. And polls show he has a good reason for his concern. He got in because, like so many sane people, he does not think the country can survive the damage Trump would continue to inflict, if he got a second term.

  4. Trump isn't a billionaire, he's a con man.

  5. Considering all the work Bloomberg has done, and money he has spent, to halt and reverse climate change, he is not one of those idiots. He clearly cares, no pretense.

  6. Google the word before you use it. Your clearly have heard oligarch without understanding what it means.

  7. And yet you bitch about people who take money from rich donors, which he isn't doing.

  8. Oh yes, I remember the Occupy movement. They moved into the public parks, so nobody else could enjoy them. They left trash and feces all over. They raped some high school girls walking to school. You want to know what I resent, it's the Occupy assholes.

  9. Do you even know what oligarch means? What formerly government owned resource was he given?

  10. Who?

  11. Why is everything you write the opposite of the truth?
    1
  12. He thought Biden would do OK. He hasn't, and Bloomberg fears a Warren candidacy would lead to a Trump reelection.

  13. You mean the conman who only claims to be a millionaire?
    1
  14. True, it is much, much easier to find corrupt Republicans, than corrupt Democrats.

  15. CNN is part of Turner Broadcasting. Bloomberg does not own Turner. Thus, your assertion is a lie.

  16.  @sarraceniacrazy6128  But it doesn't fit.

  17. There will be bickering no matter who wins. Do you remember how McConnell wouldn't confirm any Obama judges?

  18. FDR was wealthy, yet was such a popular president he was reelect, not once but twice, Just like Bloomberg in NYC.

  19. We can, and should, address climate change but without engaging in the green new deal boondoggle. I find it really hypocritical that left wingers call anyone who take money for their campaign corporate, but you also apply that label to a guy who taking no money for anyone. And, when voters realize that M4A means they lose the insurance the currently have, it becomes super unpopular. I want Trump to lose, and a candidate you like just can't win.

  20. No, he's running to protect the country from Trump.

  21. Citation needed.

  22. What line is that? The process is be US born and over 35, win the primary, then win the general. There are no other rules.Ever hear of Ross Perot? He even formed his own party and almost won.

  23. No. They hate Trump, and don't want him to continue in the White House.
    1
  24. He doesn't want four more years of Trump. That sounds like the right reason to me.
    1
  25. That's what the said when he ran for mayor.
    1
  26. Clearly you haven't looked at his web page. He is for getting money out of politics. Read his policies before you claim he isn't for what he is.
    1
  27. He is not the current mayor of New York.
    1
  28. We have a president who never was in government right now. Do you think he is doing a good job? I don't.
    1
  29. First off, the word is reproach, not approach. Secondly, he wants to institute campaign finance reform, and get money out of politics. That is not something a plutocrat would favor. In his mission statement, there is nothing about taxation. As to the newspaper with his name, do you think he writes every article? He isn't the editor, that is Landman. Here are some of the problems he wants to solve: gun violence, homelessness, poverty, criminal justice, climate change, campaign finance reform, and housing. Hardly a regressive program.

  30. Do your remember FDR or JFK?
    1
  31. No, you did some conman from Jersey who inherited wealth and lost most of it.
    1
  32.  @Dean4511  Wrong, he terrified we'll suffer four more years of Trump.
    1
  33. What genuine billionaire has ever run for president?
    1
  34. Unlike Trump, Bloomberg does pay taxes.
    1
  35. It is Jewish land. The Arabs are the ones who stole it. What Obama did was terrible, and went against years of US policy. Sort of like what Trump does.
    1
  36. How is he a racist? He instituted a policy that the policy performed in a racist manner. But, Bloomberg never said go after minorities. He is from a minority himself. Maybe you're the racist, deflecting.

  37.  @LastBref  That is the exact opposite of every poll I've seen.
    1
  38. No, he knows he'd have to take money from others to get to the debate stage, and he doesn't want to be beholden. I'm sure he'd gladly donate a bunch of money to the DNC or a charity to get on the stage. But, those aren't the rules, and if they were, you'd just scream he bought his way on stage. I bet you were one of the people complaining Steyer spent twice as much money as he brought in, so he could join the debates.

  39. He would demolish Trump. Everything Trump claims to be, he really is.
    1
  40. He is for creating jobs, especially of the type you mention. He's really strong on trade school. His attitude on drugs is not so good. He doesn't even think cannabis should be legal, as he thinks it lowers IQ. This despite using in college.
    1
  41. They are taking money though.
    1
  42. Which workers do you claim he exploits? I've only met a couple of people who worked for him, and they thought he was great.

  43. Trump's not a billionaire. And ever my Trump loving boyfriend thinks we need national background checks and a limit of magazine size. Even gun owners want better gun control.
    1
  44. He pays more in a year than you'll pay in your life. He is not a tax avoider like Trump.
    1
  45.  @zacks.4378  He's being facetious. He writes oddly, but what he is saying is progressives don't understand they have to compromise. Every time Democrats have run a super liberal candidate, they lost. He's making fun of the 'my way or the highway' super progressives. He puts it poorly, but I agree with him. We need to pick a moderate if we want to beat Trump.

  46. Do you think Bloomberg is still mayor?
    1
  47. For one thing he doesn't suck up to genocidal maniacs.
    1
  48. What billionaire have we ever had telling us what to do?
    1
  49. What billionaire has ever been president? Not Trump, he's more of a debtor.
    1
  50. @Dearly Diane Do you think Trump is his own little race? Stop drinking the Kool-ade.
    1
  51. Well, Trump's not a billionaire. He's a con man. He has a history of defaulting on loans, using his charity as a slush fund, not paying those he employs, and generally being a born-rich jerk. While, in contrast, Bloomberg is a genuine self-made billionaire with a history of generous giving and governmental experience.
