Ordinarily, the doctored videos (from the last debate, suggesting Biden and Obama have endorsed him, etc.) alone would be a major scandal.

But the racism, the grotesque misogyny/sexual harassment and the history of literally buying support makes the doctoring of campaign videos seem like absolutely nothing.

People should be deeply, deeply embarrassed.

And the idea that Bloomberg would actually get elected is lunacy.

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