    Mike Bloomberg isn't running against his longtime pal Donald Trump -- Bloomberg is running a campaign narrowly focused on trying to destroy Bernie Sanders, now that Bernie is surging in the polls. Pass it on.

    Let's be clear: isn't running because he suddenly doesn't like his longtime pal - Bloomberg is running because he sees the surge in the polls & he's trying to help his fellow billionaires crush our movement.

    Here are the clues that tell us that is not really running against his pal Donald Trump - Bloomberg & the billionaire class are primarily focused on one mission: defeating & the working-class movement behind Bernie's campaign.

    Repeating what I said yesterday: Bloomberg’s candidacy unfortunately puts journalists in a tough spot — they know he doesn’t want bad coverage, and they know he controls a large slice of a shrinking media job market. It’s a bummer for reporters & not a good dynamic for democracy.

    Bezos & his preferred presidential candidate are together worth $163 billion. They could choose to use that wealth to eliminate all $81 billion of medical debt in America & they’d still have $82 billion left over for themselves. But they choose not to do that.
