Not so sure its such a great idea for Hillary to have these billionaire cheerleaders in her corner. Its one thing for them to give her money, but they should definitely not be doing any talking.

Default Hillary....billionaire cheerleaders

Bloomberg's speech was outstanding. Factual and hard hitting. I would love to see it run (or clips from it) as part of Hillary's campaign.

BTW Trump should provide his tax returns. Every other candidate does.

wow if Bloomberg won....you could have congestion pricing (the price of a movie ticket to cross you local city bridges) under the guise of protecting the air...and you could pay for the bags for the products you buy at the store......and remember Bloomberg doesn't want you drinking soda.. Maybe you could just let him send you a life itinerary of what to do each day.

I support Trump because he is the only one to shine a light on the immigration issue. This is America and you have someone who is not from this country employed, while at the same time you have Americans who can't find a job.

Does that seem right? Imagine you go for an interview and the person that you are interviewing with is an illegal Alien...do you think you will get the job...Hell no...they have a cousin to fill it.

The problems seems easy to fix. Enforce the law. Federal mandatory e-verify. We have legal immigration...why do we have millions of illegal people in our country. If you killed someone in your country and the authorities were after you, wouldn't you just come to America? and this is the case we get the worlds' fugitives, rapist, foreign gangs ending up here in America.

Then you have the Democrats (Clinton) stating that having millions of illegal workers helps the economy. That tells you that the job situation for Americans in our country will not improve under the Democrats. Americans first in their own country seems to be a given...like in every other country.

Doesn't matter what you'd want to see because she already owns your vote. Its those that don't vote the same every time that she is looking to win over, and many are very skeptical of billionaire cheerleaders.

I think the point of having Bloomberg and Warren Buffett speak is to challenge Donald's claim that he's a smart businessman.

Petty, narcissistic, delusional NY billionaire who thinks he's a business genius, when it was all inherited and built on family connections... Trump is basically James Dolan with a tan.

Are you high?

Buffett? Bloomberg? Cuban?

They are actually popular billionaires in the US. Bloomberg is the least popular /well known (at least how he made his fortune) among them.

The US loves Buffett. Most people like and know Cuban as a result of his ownership of the Mavericks.

If anything, this shows you what kind of scumbag Trump is that even Buffett publicly shamed him.

To fools, Bloomberg's proposals while NYC mayor was " telling people what to do" when in actuality he simply tried to solve complex problems.

Soda ban?
-A third of the NYC budget is spent on health care
-the poor tend to disproportionately have health issues
- What are the 2 leading causes of ailments amongst the poor? Diabetes and heart disease.
-Who drinks the most soda? The poor.



Congestion pricing? Is traffic not terrible in NYC? There's only one way to solve it. Make it unattractive by raising the cost.

If you dig a little deeper, you actually see why Bloomberg proposed the things that he did. He's not a dummy nor an ideologue and I doubt he really cares about what the average person does with their life.

The only problem is that Trump's words are merely lip service. This is a guy who whores himself out at every opportunity.

This is like Osama Bin Laden running a campaign on an anti-terrorism platform. In Trump's style, he would claim to know how to battle terrorism because he has experience with it. lol

Don't you consider yourself a Libertarian?

As for the soda, I think it's overstated as a cause of obesity, it seems that most people get obese as the result of overeating and lack of exercise.
