[a little elbow grease]

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.

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.

RFK (who I disagreed with on _every_ issue) had several attributes Bloomberg can’t even imagine:

(1) Real charisma
(2) True public speaking skills
(3) A coherent policy viewpoint
(4) Big time grass roots support
(5) The most popular family in the country at the time
