A Little Bit on Bloomberg from a New Yorker

I've said before that I will not engage in attacking or promoting any Democratic candidate while there is no nominee. Got no time for that noise. But Mike Bloomberg is the exception to that rule, especially since many on our side have taken to considering his viablity as a POTUS candidate. Yeah, we don't need another stereotypically clueless billionaire* from New York with no idea as to how working class people live and survive.

* [In Trump's case we have to guess how much money he has, of course.]

The problem with Mike Bloomberg is not that he's rich but that he's the liberal Donald Trump. (Although there's that pesky $7m he donated to the Republican party, making him the largest single donor in that party's history.) This is a man who chastised the working class folks here in NYC who complained about not having their streets plowed, after being buried under several feet of snow for several days, with “The world has not come to an end. The city is going fine” all because as he famously stated, Times Square had been plowed and tourists were able to see Broadway shows.

However, that's a minor gripe compared to his 3-term effort to cater to corporate interests and turn NYC into Dubai, where the workforce is imported because working class people can't afford to live in the city. We're not there yet, despite Bloomberg's darndest efforts to do so during his 12 year reign.

What we do need his deep pockets for is to fund an equivalent of the Lincoln Project, a group of prominent Never Trumpers whose mission is to badly skewer Trump and his enabling, lawmaker cronies via a barrage of ads and viral videos NOT his candidacy.

Anyway...
