"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

As for being in the debate... Bloomberg has a Obama/Trump-sized ego and probably thought he'd do fine. And he likely felt he would be savaged even if not there (certainly true) and figured it'd be better if he could defend himself.

Originally posted by JimL View PostSanders is an Independent, but he has always caucused with the democrats, is supported by democrats, and was even supported by the DNC in his Senate run against a democrat.
