are affecting no one not firmly in the Biden camp.

Bloomberg can't beat Trump. Bloomberg is Trump in nicer packaging.

No moderate has won the Presidential election this century but you seem intent on trying it again this time.

in the country at large as an important reason to vote for Sanders or not vote for him...hoping for the latter. We need a candidate who can beat Trump...Sanders won't do this.

Stunning to see people selling their souls for Bloomberg so he can "beat trump". Sounds like the same attitude trump supporters had to "stick it" to the "lib-tards".

Bloomberg is a wealthier "smart" version of trump - same elitism, same sexism, same racism, etc.

What a winning strategy: his “first campaign platform” would have been “to defend the banks.”

and Bloomberg are doing it so we can beat Trump as a Hail Mary...I want Biden personally so all the attacks are meaningless to me as I think Sanders loses badly and probably the house as well should he be the nominee. And let me tell you Sanders and Warren's attacks on banks has always worried me...I want banks regulated not destroyed. I have a 401 K that I need for retirement.
