The sad truth of the matter is that if Bloomberg is our party's nominee, not only will POC and progressives stay home in droves on Election Day, but all those WWC voters in the swing states and Heartland that are supposedly up for grabs, the ones that everyone keeps telling us will instantly swoon for Bloomberg like a bunch of 1950's teenyboppers seeing Elvis shake his pelvis for the first time, will be turned off by his elitist, condescending, high-handed manner.
