Liberal billionaire Warren Buffett, who’s been fairly quiet this election cycle, took to CNBC to weigh in on the Democratic primary races. Buffett said during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box that “I’m very much in sympathy with the fact that Senator Sanders believes that a lot of people are getting left behind and through no fault of their own.” Buffett continued: “[T]here’s all kinds of aspects of capitalism that need, in some ways, to be regulated. But I don’t believe in giving up the capitalist system.” [Emphasis added.] However, Buffett stated that he would have “no trouble” voting for fellow liberal billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

For the full Monty, Bernie would want 60 Senators. But I think the Senate filibuster rules can be changed... after all Harry Reid and Mitch both changed the 60 vote requirement for judges to a simple majority.
And a President can do a lot of damage on his own—ban fracking, offshore drilling, and logging on Federal lands; shift funds around; completely wreck border security, etc., all by executive order.
Filthy rich cheapskate liberal prick.
EO’s only pertain to legislation and are restricted. The influx of Trump’s judicial appointments (Attempts of stuff like DACA would be CACA) plus a friendly Supreme Court will render anything Sanders’ attempts as futile.
Keep in mind the USSC are fixing to rule on ACA, Roberts most likely will not be as friendly to the legislation as last time (Since they favored a Trump delay on the ruling).
“in ‘Sympathy’ with Sanders”
“Commie sympathizer” used to be considered a terrible indictment. Times have changed.
It’s one of those Hitler or Stalin propositions.
I would vote for someone not listed even if that meant a write in guaranteed to lose and vigorously oppose both.
As for killing the populace...why do you suppose Bloomberg has spent billions trying to ram through disarmament legislation?
Are you supposing that he wants to give everybody a hug?
Obviously it will be Trump in the general.
I will have to see about the primaries, as we have open primaries. I want to see Bloomberg trailing the whole pack and Bernie leading but only in the lower forty percentile.
If one is a “billionaire” one can afford to elect a Socialist.
Ironic about bernie and his gun voting record.
Maybe he would have lost in that state without that view, whether it was heartfelt or not?
LOL
Damn...those billionaires sure do stick together...
looking forward to democrats saying how great RICH people are now...
