    Every reporter covering 2020 knows that if they write a story seriously scrutinizing Mike Bloomberg, they risk enraging a person who owns a sizable segment of the media job market. It’s a very tough situation for journalists, and probably not a great dynamic for democracy.

    The most awesome moment of the week was when the headlines were all about Trump appointing a $1 million donor to an ambassadorship, and then Chris Matthews yelling at Bernie Sanders for having the temerity to dare call the political system "corrupt."

    The most Orwellian language of the entire 2020 campaign is the rhetoric that somehow portrays an expansion of the long-tested, wildly successful, half-century-old Medicare program as some radical attempt to tear anything down or blow anything up.

    If a candidate reverses a position after getting massive campaign donations from donors who wanted the position changed, thats exactly how that candidate would govern once in office. Don’t say you weren’t warned — you were. So cast your Democratic primary vote accordingly.

    Michael Bloomberg could singlehandedly eliminate half of all medical debt in America and still remain a billionaire — and instead he’s spending money on ads glorifying himself and his campaign to prevent billionaires from having to pay slightly higher taxes. Think about that.
    This is just the beginning. Well placed person told me the expectation in donor crowd was Bloomberg was prepared to spend $500m to $1B

    I support because he’s for Medicare for All and free public college. Medicare for All is about giving people health care with no copay, no deductibles, and no premiums. There are a lot of things you can call it, but you can’t call it elitist!

    If a candidate said they support Medicare for All, and then the candidate got cash from billionaires & healthcare industry donors, and then the candidate suddenly started opposing Medicare for All — then we should believe this is exactly how the candidate will behave in office.

    Michael Bloomberg could personally eliminate half the medical debt in the United States – and still have $14 billion left over. Instead he's spending his money on a vanity presidential run.
