Bloomberg is a media creation, nothing real

He is trying win a nomination by being a false creation of a group of slick propagandists. If he were to buy the nomination it would be a disaster for our party. When he actually to "dirty himself" by actually having to campaign with other people outside of some slickster ads he just seems small, petty, not terribly likeable.

... at all knowing his record which he had to lie about to keep from totally being dusted by Warren.

Trump will never debate Warren

Mike is a caricature created by bought and paid for media "experts", the opposite of what a candidate should be.

I get it: You don't like Mike Bloomberg. Fair enough.

However, the man is not a "media creation." He's a self-made billionaire whose businesses are far-reaching and employ thousands of people. He's a three-term mayor of a major American city.

You don't think that those are significant accomplishments?

There are no "false creations" with Bloomberg because we know exactly who he is.

He was indeed a republican when it was convenient for him. Anyone who tries to buy my vote is a low creature indeed. I dont like Biden at all but he is out campaigning with the people and if he beat Sanders fair and sqaure he would have my support.

If he were all that great then why is he trying to buy the nomination instead of work for it? So far all we see of him is in slickster ads and if you think thats real you are far mistaken. We have candidates who put themselves out in front of voters. If one of them fairly beats Sanders i would support them. Mike didnt have his paid for slicksters to help him last night.
