Bloomberg on Democratic candidates: "I bought them."

[Sympthsical]

Literally just came out of his mouth.

Still think this man is benign?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

1. Yeah, I heard that slip of the tongue

[Hoyt]

2. When he was talking about Democrats in mid-terms? If he did, hope he keeps buying.

[delisen]

29. Yes Bloomberg was instrumental in clawing back the House of Representatives.

from Republican Party and he is still helping.

Don't know what the other candidates are doing re building us up.

[melman]

3. Incredible

[George II]

4. He didn't say he bought them. He said he gave $100 million to their campaigns to help them win.

[Sympthsical]

6. Wait for the video

That was a Freudian wonder.

[Amishman]

17. I heard it too, needs to be added to the wikipedia entry for Freudian Slip

The one good thing these debates are doing is pulling the expensive mask away and showing us the real Bloomberg. We can do much better than him.

[Sympthsical]

19. All the agreement n/t

[thesquanderer]

14. He did start saying he bought them, and stopped himself.

Maybe an innocent slip, or a Freudian one, or he started to say what he honestly believed and caught himself from fully saying it out loud ("whoops, that was an inside thought...&quot ... Regardless, played right into the perception that his path to power is buying it.

[Sympthsical]

21. Agree with all you said n/t

[cliffside]

22. nt

[Squinch]

26. That's no way to win elections! You have to send out tweets that equate

Democrats and Repubicans and call both your enemy!

God, Janet, that guy knows nothing!

[David__77]

5. That may be a sort of purchase. Whether or not that's good or bad is another matter.

...

[Nay]

7. "When he tells you who he is, believe him." nt

8. video

10. Thanks for the video

I know I didn’t mishear this mess.

[Docreed2003]

12. Wow...WTF

Says worlds about his mindset...

[BeckyDem]

20. Believe him.

When the time comes, he will expect a return on his investment.

[DanTex]

9. Yeah, that was funny.

[Sympthsical]

11. Like holy hell

How does he dig out from that one? How does anyone defend it? I assume we’ll see.

[NedBraden]

13. He also

He also slipped and almost called liz warren "THAT woman...." But he bit his tongue.

[Sympthsical]

15. Saw that one too n/t

[tulipsandroses]

16. I caught that.

I wish I could say I am surprised, but I am not.

[Raine]

18. I caught that too nt

[mvd]

23. Sorry, I just don't trust him

A gun vote or a vote on social security is is one thing. But can we believe a candidate has done a complete 180?

[Sympthsical]

24. I was ok with all our candidates

Bloomberg gave me someone to work against.

[budkin]

25. He sucks

He should drop out immediately.

[TwilightZone]

27. He was probably going to say he bought them ads.

Context is important, though we pretty much ignore it around here.

[emmaverybo]

28. Never, ever have thought him benign.

[MoonlitKnight]

30. Look again at his response in the last debate

Regarding NDAs. Seems to me he was starting to say the only complaints were for se....then he goes into the bad jokes defense. Seemed like he was going to say sexual as in sexual harassment.

But the “bought” slip tonight was way more obvious.
