Buttigieg says he'd accept money from Bloomberg if he becomes nominee

[RandySF]

ete Buttigieg said Tuesday he would accept donations from Michael Bloomberg for his White House campaign if he becomes the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

“Sure,” Buttigieg said during a CNN town hall Tuesday night when asked if he’d take funds from Bloomberg, a billionaire businessman and rival presidential contender.

“This is the moment to bring everybody that we can into this effort, and I promise exactly one thing in return for any contribution, which is, we're going to take that contribution and use it to go beat Donald Trump,” Buttigieg said.

uttigieg's remarks came after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) declined to answer a question during an earlier CNN town hall when asked whether he would accept money from Bloomberg if he became the party's nominee.

2. We must defeat Trump.

I have no problem with a rich person wanting to help do that. It is just dumb to cut your nose off to spite your face. Self- righteousness looks bad on everyone.

5. Given the stakes, I don't see the problem.

We have to beat Trump. Period. This is a case of the ends absolutely justifying the means.
