He defended that shit, that stopped thousands of black and latino men, who were subsequently found 90% of the time to have been doing nothing wrong.

I just heard on CNN that he's going to skip the early states ……. All of this media attention will probably lead to a fairly big bounce in the national polls that will quickly fade ……..He won't be able to compete with the top 2 candidates that emerge from the early states …… Bloomberg will be lucky to get more than 10% - 15% of the vote if he waits until Super Tuesday to jumpstart his campaign ……..He will just make it easier for the progressive candidate to sweep the primaries ……..

as long as possible, so they can get him to piss away money on advertising. Eventually Steyer is going to drop out, and they need a new billionaire to milk.
