It is obvious Bloomberg has a number of people terrified.

Given the number of posts about him.

Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catching

From the old Charley Daniels song Uneasy Rider (yes I know he is a bigot today, this is when he was an outlaw and smoked dope).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Dope smoking outlaws can also be bigots.

That's just an old saying. He didn't make it up.

And yes, I'm terrified that he could be our nominee and lose this election.

Tons of commercials in many states. Aligning himself with President Obama. Reaching out to POCs while securing Whites . .

When they say money talks and walks, it's true, plus it doesn't hurt when the country has a complete asshole with an asshole administration and asshole senate.

but I'm reading a biography of Bloomberg that says he didn't deceive anybody at all. He always said, "I am a liberal."

He's not a Republican in any way, shape or form. Is that correct or not?

Congratulations on working for Bloomberg! Do you have stories to share, not necessarily today, but maybe at some point?

(I'm supporting Warren but very, very open to Bloomberg)
