...Democrats considering this sales pitch should be very clear on what a Bloomberg presidency would mean. Bloomberg does not have Trump’s flagrant vices (though some of his alleged behavior with women is pretty bad) or his bald disdain for norms and rules and legal niceties, and so a Bloomberg presidency will feel less institutionally threatening, less constitutionally perilous, than the ongoing wildness of the Trump era — in addition to delivering at least some of the policy changes that liberals and Democrats desire.
However, feelings can be deceiving. Trump’s authoritarian tendencies are naked on his Twitter feed, but Bloomberg’s imperial instincts, his indifference to limits on his power, are a conspicuous feature of his career. Trump jokes about running for a third term; Bloomberg actually managed it, bulldozing through the necessary legal changes. Trump tries to bully the F.B.I. and undermine civil liberties; Bloomberg ran New York as a miniature surveillance state. Trump has cowed the Republican Party with celebrity and bombast; Bloomberg has spent his political career buying organizations and politicians that might otherwise impede him. Trump blusters and bullies the press; Bloomberg literally owns a major media organization. Trump has Putin envy; Bloomberg hearts Xi Jinping.
You partisan hypocrites better be real careful about what you ask for.
He's really racking them up and hasn't won a single delegate yet. But some Democrats including many Black mayors & politicians it seems, love him for his Billions.
And don't forget he supported the Iraq War, endorsed GW Bush in 2004, was a Republican (2001-2007) and an independent (2007-2019).

Bloomberg is the bizarro Trump.
Where Trump is a Democrat who ran and won as a Republican, Bloomberg is a Republican who is running and trying to win a s Democrat. Besides twitter bombast and verbal diarrhea, whatever Trump does, Bloomberg does more and turns it up to 11, which is one more than 10 (Nigel Tufnel shout out!).

Trump can make a convincing argument that the Democratic Party changed so much, and in the wrong way, that he had to leave.
A lot of other Americans could make the same argument.
Please - I won't vote for him but you have a 19 sec excerpt taken out of context. That's something the Democrats do. Bloomberg was talking about the amt of money he has donated to employment programs for those less fortunate who are the individuals he was describing and he's right on the money.
Let's not start making things up like the liberals and taking things out of context.
So when Bloomberg told the truth like this "Elsewhere, in the interview he asserted that 'blacks and Latinos score terribly in school testing compared to whites and Asians' and that minorities make up a majority of those incarcerated in the city's jails.
He went on to add: 'If you look at where crime takes place, it's in minority neighborhoods. If you look at who the victims and the perpetrators are, it's virtually all minorities. This is something that has gone on for a long time'. "
why should people be upset? He should be applauded if he brought up the high percentage of single parenthood in those groups as the cause and how their children are much worse off.
