More data about Bloomberg from Huffington post

Bloombergs wealth didn't just build a political network it also bought silence.

1. This is very disturbing

It represents all the reasons why we need to get money out of politics.

This is so much worse than I'd imagined and the possibilities of how he could use his wealth as president is extremely unsettling.

4. And most people don't know diddly about Bloomberg at this point. That'll change.

Disturbing doesn't even begin to describe all there is to be known. Trump would win in a landslide in November. Millions of POC, youth and white suburban women would be alienated and disgusted.

5. Like with Trump,

people in New York know a lot about Bloomberg that people in other parts of the country don't. Hopefully, enough of this information gets out there quickly before people get a chance to vote for him.

I wonder how much more there is to learn about him.

2. Anyone who says

that Bloomie is not trying to buy the nomination needs to read that.

3. 'Look, we agree with you, we're on your side. But he's a critical donor. We can't afford to lose...

...that kind of money."

Why would anyone think he isn't still using that tactic today?

6. That's exactly how he got the endorsements of the black politicians after the stop and frisk video

emerged. He has donated to them and will continue to do so. This is no hidden secret.

7. Its highly unlikely that he suddenly

changed overnight. Apparently he's been using his money for many years to accomplish whatever he wants, even to get a third term as mayor. Unlike Trump, he wouldn't have to bully people to get what he wants, he could his money and influence.
