    Apparently the Democrats are now courting someone who's past makes Trump look like a choirboy, but that's okay.

    It's not okay, and the other candidates killed him in today's debate for it.

      They "killed" him in the same way they've been attacking each other. The fact that he's been rising quickly in the polls indicates a willingness to tolerate.

        The stuff that has been coming out makes him sound worse than Trump.

          He stands no real chance. Bernie is basically running away with the national polling. Yay Communism...

            Apparently you didn't watch the debate last night.

              The fact that he's rising in the polls is due to the fact that he isn't well known, hasn't actively campaigned, and his entire campaign has been nothing but a half a billion dollars worth of self promoting tv ads. Bloombergs biggest mistake was in becoming eligible for the debate.

                It's called democratic socialism, Bill. As Sanders pointed out last night, we already have socialism, it's just that much of it is targeted to the wealthy in the form of subsidies and a favorable tax system.

                    If you'd actually like to understand the difference, look at Denmark.

                      This has to be accurate. There's no way that Bloomberg's campaign will actually withstand scrutiny. He seems calculated to alienate nearly everybody in one way or another - anti-gun, pro-nanny state, pro-Iraq war, elitist, pro-racial profiling... who is actually going to be his base?

                        Mostly right leaning moderates. I don't even understand why he is running as a democrat. He only became a democrat in Oct. of 2018. He should be running as a republican against Trump.

                          Big time. Virtually everything that the TDS crowd hates about Trump, both real and imaginary, they're gonna get with Bloomberg.



                          Well, I guess he won't Tweet nearly as much.

                            He was hit hard by his political opponents. Pretty much what everyone expected.

                              I don't know if anything exemplifies our modern age of sound bite politics more than Trump tweeting about how Bloomberg was racist for his stop and frisk policies; despite the fact that he himself campaigned in 2016 to expand stop and frisk beyond New York City. His tweet still remains effective because the factual basis is beside the point.
