Charles M. Blow: You Must Never Vote for Bloomberg

[Sunsky]

48. I couldn't have said it better

A Bloomberg nomination would be a gut punch for many AAs. Democrats can't do this to us. It would be a huge mistake, that would cost us votes for years.
I believe Bloomberg today is the same stop and frisk Bloomberg. He stated that he believed too many white people were being stopped, because white people didn't fit the profile. This is who Bloomberg is. IMO he only apologized because he was going to announce his candidacy.
A few days ago, I was like many of my fellow AAs. I was warming up to Bloomberg because- his ads are powerful, he's saying the right things and he has the money to go head to head with the Trump machine. However, after I listened to his words about racial profiling and did some digging of my own, I now believe if Bloomberg is our nominee, it will suppress our base. Money won't undo his past.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I would prefer Sanders as our nominee to Bloomberg.
