Bloomberg has spent millions of dollars just on rehabilitating his image with black voters (aka pandering), then all of this comes out. He might as well have lit that money on fire.
Maybe he can invent a fake gangster to puff up his street cred like Joe. He can call him “Soda Pop”!

He does need to be perceived as not being a racist by white Democrats. And they agree with him. Think it’s an accident that white liberals cluster in non-black enclaves? They drone on about good schools, but they’re mainly interested in not having their kids assaulted by Shawntavious or LaTrine.
Democratic libertines making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and up aren’t worried that Sanders will lose to Trump. They’re afraid he’ll win. It’s one thing to virtue signal on taxes, pro-criminal laws and open borders, and quite another to end up paying tens of thousands of dollars (and up to billions) more in taxes, every single year onwards. Here are some details of Sanders’s $1T a year Federal tax increase, from the Tax Foundation:
Changes
Adds four new income tax brackets for high-income households, with rates of 37 percent, 43 percent, 48 percent, and 52 percent.
Taxes capital gains and dividends at ordinary income rates for households with income over $250,000.
Creates a new 2.2 percent “income-based [health care] premium paid by households.” This is equivalent to increasing all tax bracket rates by 2.2 percentage points, and would raise the top marginal income tax rate to 54.2 percent.]
