yes, nominate a billionaire elitist liberal control freak.
I can’t recall Friedman being correct about anything in so many years it escapes counting! Why any media outlet would keep such a flake writer on its staff is beyond comprehension
There is no such thing as a Moderate Democrat
There are the honest Democrats who tell you straight up what their agenda is
There are the Democrats who lie about their agenda to get elected.
Moderate progressive ? How do these 2 words go together ?
In perspective, Bloomberg is a NE liberal who’s recent signature move as been harsh gun control and who’s historical footprint was to violate NYC mayoral term limits by fiat.
His disposition, stature and voice will render him annoying and hard to gravitate toward. His policies will not play well in the rust belt, his origins in NY will not play well in the South, his term as NYC mayor will not play well with minorities and his financial data company wealth will not play well with the Socialists.
He’s not getting there.....
Bloomberg = Doomsberg for the Republic
How about adding all those liberal descriptions: Moderate Progressive Centrist Liberal Socialist since they don’t know what they really are.
There is no such animal as a “moderate Progressive”.
It might be slower, or faster, but the objective is always the same - move to left, move the goalposts, and move left again. Repeat until you fall over the cliff.
The Clintons will be or are now on board with this guy.
I get Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman mixed up. Both are economists who get everything wrong and get to use the New York Times for a soapbox.
They gotta get that “moderate” word in there, which he ain’t.
The guy must not read The New York Times carefully.
Black voters simply won’t be able to stomach Mayor Stop and Frisk for reasons given by Charles Blow in a NYT article linked to earlier today.
Bloomberg should just write me a large check and call it quits to get better value for his money.
“Moderate progressive”...that’s like “tallest dwarf”.
Bernie’s supporters will LOVE to vote for a Racist Billionaire after getting screwed out of the nomination for the second straight election.
Tone deaf.
Communism for thee not me Bloomberg is no moderate, he is a totalitarian authoritarian. All of the Democrats running have some anti-American similarities to Bloomberg and they would gladly destroy our nation’s sovereignty just like he would.
To coin a famous saying....”what difference does it make whether Sanders loses big time to Trump or MiniMike loses big time to Trump?
Calm down Krugman.
The democrats are united in their hatred of the billionaire, old white Republican dude in the White House.
So they will nominate Bloomberg to defeat him. You know, the billionaire, old white former Republican dude.
There is nothing moderate in any way about a candidate so totalitarian that they actually try to go so far as to dictate what food you are allowed to buy when you stop to eat.
