31. Bloomberg's using the Democratic Party to ingratiate himself.

Feb 2020

In 2001 he ran as a Republican to become mayor of NYC. Trump has been in and out of the Republican Party as well. Funny how Bloomberg and other Democratic candidate supporters will cry out that Sanders is not a real Democrat. It's all laughable.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
