    Maybe. It is a fair question to ask.

    Where do we draw that line?

    How many resources do we put into it?

    It is up for debate.

    Sylvester has been paid. Also cultivated throughout the years. Bloomberg has a thing where he puts up all recently elected mayors in fancy NYC hotels and invites famous experts to school them on how to be a mayor for a week. He keeps up with them.

    Google: for those who only consume mainstream media.

    Mike is an elitist who has belittled millions of working class folks and minimum wage folks. Only traditional moderates and milk toast liberals cannot see this.

    I actually feel like Bloomberg's attempt to snuff out Bernie is backfiring big time. Maybe he can dig up enough clips of Bernie from the 70's to hurt him only in the general election (which actually helps Trump), but right now Bloomberg seems to have picked the wrong fellow Democrat (yes Bernie is a Democrat no matter what his title is) to go after.

    Bloomberg needs to stick to Trump commercials hitting him on Healthcare, climate, guns, etc. His likelihood of winning was so low to begin with that I think he initially got in the race to soften Trump & act as a superpac for whoever the candidate is, but I fear that he saw his poll numbers go up and now its in his head that he actually can really win the nomination.

    To you? Bernie only officially joins the party when he wants to use its infrastructure to run for President. No two ways about it. I have always wished he would stay in the party and help move it, but no, he does not do that. Why?

    I don't care if Bloomberg is a racist or not, he isn't a threat to the country the way Trump is. Trump is actually a threat to minorities.

    Getting rid of Trump is all that matters at this point. I'd vote for Pence over Trump

    Point is the right-wing media blows up small stories like this to try to portray themselves as a victim.

    Do you have a point? You support a white nationalist in office

    It’s hilarious that you keep parroting that propaganda thinking if you say it enough people will believe you as you have convinced yourself.

    I let the facts stand for themselves. You should try it.

    not only do they see it, they're also being pragmatic about it

    while Bloomberg has many flaws, but he is not a threat to our democracy. Trump is.
    they see Bloomberg as having the best chance to beat Trump

    Trump is a danger to this country. His actions are weakening us at every level. Trade, diplomacy, security, national identity, economically, and as a society. History may declare Putin the winner of the cold war.

    Biggest mistake HRC made wasn't her stupid email server, it was interfering in Russian elections and pissing Putin off enough that he actually return the favor and succeeded

    actually, it was her complacency,

    so much so that she never bother to run in the 2008 Iowa caucus. W Hillary not in the contest, the little know Senator from Il won, generated momentum and never look back​
