And he really is incorruptible. I like that statement. I think it is true about Bloomberg. Unlike trump, he backs up his words with actions. And he spends his own money, not taxpayers. I've always felt that what makes donald trump so corruptible is that he is nowhere near as rich as he claims. This is why he literally guards his taxes with his life. If they get out it will show two big problems. One, he's been lying all these years about being a billionaire. He may come close to billionaire status when you add up his total assets, but in cash, no way and also how did he get all those assets. Which brings us to number two, if his taxes come out it will prove how beholden he is to Russia, which is how he has been able to acquire the bulk of his assets, with Russian money.

I didn't say that. I will vote and work for ANY Democrat who is nominated. But the kids might not. This moment in history is much like 1968 when the DNC and Humphrey stole the nomination from Macarthy. Bloomberg cannot win outright, but if the DNC steals it from Bernie with "establishment" Democrat super delegates appointed by Tom Perez, and or allowing them to vote on the first ballot, that will not only destroy the Democratic party, but enough kids probably won't vote and that will probably result in Trump being reelected. I am just the messenger, so I would ask people , don't kill me for stating what seems obvious. Bernie is now the leading candidate to be nominated and competing against him is fine, but we should not trash our leading candidate and weaken him by giving aid and comfort to the junk yard Republicans. << So, you are saying that you wouldn't vote for Bloomberg if he is the nominee against Trump? Bloomberg was Mayor of NYC. A R in NYC is different from a R in most other places. His decision to register as a R was strictly pragmatic, not ideological. He isn't ideological--end of story. He is a problem solving businessman. He makes mistakes sometimes, sure. But fewer than most. And he really is incorruptible.

I Bloomberg wins the nomination, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. I'd vote for most of the other leading Democrats as well, although I have my doubts about Bernie's ability to get things done, even through a Democratic congress.
