I'll never forget that redstateblues Feb 2020 #27
He lost all respect from me that night. BigmanPigman Feb 2020 #40
YUP, Van Jones is up to his usual no-good theatrics onetexan Feb 2020 #48

Bloomberg is only a VERY recent BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #59
LOL get your facts straight. He was a Dem before. One has a right to switch parties last i checked. onetexan Feb 2020 #60
He left the party in 2001 BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #62
So the fact he changed parties is a pain point for you. I also recall he spent $80M in 2018 for Dems onetexan Feb 2020 #63
Yes, it is a "pain point" BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #64
