I suspect his world view is warped in other areas. He has no idea what it is like to be 99.999% of America. In one way or another, he lives in a different world from the rest of us.

That common touch is part of what made president Obama so successful, and one of the big draws of Mayor Pete. And as much as I like Joe, I worry he has lost some of that over the years in Washington

out of the WH"

He is right, we need to stop eating our own, it only serves the criminal-in-chief. All this negativity against our own candidates only serves republicans, it doesn't work to convince anyone to change their support.

How about Bloomberg saying that is committed to beating trump whether he is in the ballot or not? That is Newsworthy!

And by the way, in his latest interview Bloomberg is apologetic about the "stop & frisk", where he wishes he had stopped it sooner than he did, but he did stop it. He said at the time he didn't realize how much it hurt the people who were being stopped...Newsworthy as well!

He only stopped it because it was about to be declared unconstitutional.

I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

Mike should fly to visit Gillum, talk to him, get converted, confess his sins saying Gillum helped him understand, then pick Gillum as vp.

He has apologized for the stop-and-frisk program.

At least he apologized for it.
