Bloomberg told Politico Snyder is “an extremely competent guy who took on the unions to get Detroit and Michigan going in the right direction. And he was re-elected despite being attacked by the unions.”

Snyder signed “Right to Work” legislation in December 2012 following an unsuccessful bid by unions to enshrine collective bargaining rights in the state constitution. Unions also worked aggressively to try to defeat Snyder in his re-election bid.

Last month, Bloomberg’s Independence USA political action committee launched a major TV ad buy worth at least $2.3 million on behalf of Snyder. A male narrator in Independence USA’s ad declared Michigan is “coming back” and that Snyder is “the governor who put partisanship aside, made the hard decisions and delivered results.”

The ad’s narrator also touts “higher graduation rates, more school funding” and more public charter schools under Snyder’s watch.

What do you have against having a president who considers us, common folk, as important as the billionaires on Wall Street?
Bloomberg is a DINO! check up on his background.

But extraordinary times require extraordinary sacrifices and its looking more and more like Bloomberg could be the sacrifice we all need to make.

Keep on with that slinging on the Democratic Party candidates.

I'm behind the one going after Trump.

choices and our uniting behind one eventually, letting the process play out, will make us as strong as the midterms’ blue Tsunami.

Bloomberg is the worst candidate we could possibly choose morally, but he also has a political past and unsavory alliances that will suppress the vote. He will not be embraced in swing states.

Beat Trump, and beat him SOUNDLY.

There is nothing more important this year.

Mike Bloomberg has the resources and skills to do it. All the others are busy sniping at each other.

14. I can't believe there are some democrats that support Republican Bloomberg over Sanders
Thu Feb 13, 2020, 08:56 PM

Bloomberg is the perfect candidate to go against Trump and lose. He's an out of touch billionaire that wouldn't even be an afterthought in the democratic primary if he wasn't wealthy. He's not even a democrat and at least Sanders isn't a Republican. Between him and Bernie Sanders, it's not even a contest. I'd choose Sanders any day of the week over Bloomberg.
