^^^Couple of things here. The Democratic Party has not nominated Mr. Bloomberg, so why do you misrepresent him as their candidate?
And if ever there was an individual who should be nominated for the title of Eastern Dandy it would be Donald J. Trump of New York City.
Didn't realize it was DJT that sold NYC waterfront property for 1 dollar to Stephen Ross illegally and then made billions off of it...
Didn't realize it was DJT who sold the city that "affordable housing" is 4-5,000/month - and then made billions off that "housing" he magically owned....
oh wait - it wasn't! : smack:
Maybe those citizens can just get a 28% interest rate loan from the bank of Tom Steyer….yea! That's the ticket!

??? your response to my post
^^^What's that got to do with the price of rice in China?
Bloomberg has a long history of being a snobbish elitist, often belittling people in the Midwest, workers, farmers etc. The one minute clip reflects his attitude perfectly.
I was in NYC regularly during his mayoral terms, and you are correct.
He did a good job, riding the Rudy progress, but he is as elitist as any contender for either party in my lifetime.
If you watch that clip, and misunderstand to the point that you come away thinking Bloomberg is saying you're stupid...
...maybe you are.
Anyone talking about millions of people's "grey matter" is making a value judgement on people they no nothing about. The man's a contemptuous ass.
I'm not sure how you could draw any other conclusion. There was a time when the Democrats were on the side of the American worker. Now they are worshiping a media mogul.
We're not supposed to eat meat, dairy or wheat. Just soy and rice. Blech.
Yes, but he, and the rest of the Democrats HATE farmers because they are in 'flyover country". Well, meat products are raised there, but don't tell the Libs that Soy, grains, vegetables and everything else comes from there as well.

More like worshipping his wallet. The “news” media are all parts of larger companies that make bank by spending the billions of dollars thrown around in political campaigns. Their news side is supposed to be independent from all that money-grubbing, but does anyone believe that? Party apparatchiks (D or R) like to live large as well. Candidates with money to spend move to the top of the heap, and if one of them just happens to own a media company — doubleplusgood!
I’m so glad that the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act cleaned up the mess and took the money out of politics.
