Maybe it's because of other things she's said or done. Because I think her assessment of Bloomberg in this video is exactly right. He's attempting to buy his way the presidency.

Why is this OK? Just because he's not MF45??? Really?

Bloomberg may well be a better choice than MF45, but that doesn't mean he's putting working people first. And that's who a Democratic presidential candidate should be prioritizing: Working people, poor people, people who need health care .
