    I like how donut Twitter is non-ironically trying to scandalize Bernie’s grandpa cabin in the woods that is the size of the guest room walk-in closet at Mike Bloomberg’s Bermuda palace

    Like Keith Ellison, I read David Sirota every day. All I see is someone who compares and contrasts candidates positions on the issues. That’s fair game.
    Sanders hired David Sirota - knowing exactly what he was getting. Nuff said...

    Michael Bloomberg's candidacy is the $400 million temper tantrum of a billionaire who is offended and enraged that he's been able to buy everything in the world, but may not be able to buy the Democratic presidential primary.

    If we choose a candidate who appeals to a small base – like Senator Sanders – it will be a fatal error and we will end up with four more years of Donald Trump.

    Maybe it's time for the working class to have a little bit of power instead of Pete Buttigieg's billionaire donors.

    You can't change a corrupt system by taking its money. I am proud to be the only non-billionaire in this race without a super PAC spending millions of dollars to support me.

    I have never seen supporters being unusually mean or rude. Can someone send me an example of a “Bernie Bro” being bad. Also, are we holding all candidates responsible for the behavior of some of their supporters? Waiting to hear.

    Not good enough. Bloomberg himself needs to disavow his past positions and pledge never to cut one penny of current or future Social Security benefits. Then, voters can decide if they trust him to keep that promise in light of his long-held support for cuts.
    Mike Bloomberg's senior adviser tells me he would oppose any cuts to Social Security or Medicare if elected president, a reversal of his past position. …

    I like NY, but I think geographic diversity is a good idea. The "national" media is actually not very "national" - it is essentially a NY/DC-based media thats broadcast to the rest of the country, but that does not necessarily do a good job of reflecting the rest of the country.
