I don’t see Bloomberg’s act as much different from RFK swooping into the primaries in 1968 and taking the nomination away from the original antiwar liberal candidate at the time, Eugene McCarthy, albeit losing it all when he was assassinated the night of the CA primary.

(Full disclosure: I was a 14yo McCarthybot, despised what RFK was doing; I see my young and naively stupid self in the Berniebots of today. At least I grew up, though it took almost two decades.)

I was 21 years old that summer.

I remember that very well. However I remember Eugene McCarthy as a vastly more cerebral man, of greater worth that Bernie Sanders. (jmo)

By the way, Eugene McCarthy was a pretty good baseball player in his time.
