Sanders doesn't think Bloomberg should be in next debates
CBS 'News' via MSN ^ | 2/14/20 | Nicole Brown

Posted on 02/15/2020 10:06:21 AM PST by Libloather

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said it's "very unfortunate" a rule change could allow his fellow presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg into the next Democratic debates. The qualifications no longer include a unique-donor threshold.

"That is what being a multi-billionaire is about. Some very good friends of mine who were competing in the Democratic nomination - people like Cory Booker of New Jersey, Julián Castro - work really, really hard. Nobody changed the rules to get them in the debate," he said on "CBS This Morning" Friday.

"But I guess if you're worth $60 billion, you can change the rules. I think that is very, very unfortunate," he added.

Sanders has been critical of Bloomberg using his wealth to run for president since he entered the race.

When asked to respond to a recent Quinnipiac University poll with black voters that put Bloomberg and former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of him, Sanders expressed confidence in his support from minority communities.

Bernie needs to either get used to DNC abuse or go third party.

During an interview with CBS 12 on Friday, Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer, the author of the book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, stated that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) family has “become quite wealthy through his public service.”

Schweizer said, “I found that, really, over the course of 30 years, beginning when he was mayor of Burlington, VT, when he was in Congress, later, when he was in the U.S. Senate, he has steered lots of money to his family. Sometimes taxpayer money, sometimes campaign money. So, his family’s become quite wealthy through his public service.”

Washington is no longer about lawmaking, it’s about moneymaking for the elites!

The Democrats have understood this for decades.

Look how rich Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Obama, Feinstein and Sanders became while in congress.

That's right Bernie! You don't have to take this political abuse. Stand UP man, free yourself from the shackles of the Democrat party. Show them what you're made of! 🍿🍿🍿

“Still waiting for Bernie to share some of his millions with the workers.”

bernie’s net worth is only about $2,000,000 ... he’s not that wealthy ...

“maybe it would look a bit fairer if the DNC just put its nomination up for Ebay auction”

it’d certainly be more lucrative since the candidates could quit wasting money on campaigns and stuff and just turn all of their money over directly to the DNC ...

“I think Bernie is wrong and here’s why. Bloomberg, in my opinion, got into the race late, and dropped millions on ads precisely because he’s awful in person. His ads do the campaigning for him. Once he starts speaking, his delivery is smug, nasal, sanctimonious. Like Mrs Clinton, he’ll do better the less people see of him. So get him out there, and let him go.”

those are excellent points ... plus see how mr super-rich snob control-freak handles being grilled by lowly reporters ... how does he react if he gets questions he doesn’t like? ... can mini-mike take the heat? ... does he get a box? ...
