Go away rich guy. You don’t think there are enough Dems running or more you don’t see one that can beat Trump and you’re sure you can. I hate these f’ing egomaniac men and they are men.

As a Warren/Sanders supporter, I think this ain’t all bad. It amplifies concerns about Biden’s weak candidacy and campaign, gives the non-plutophile wing of the party something to clarify their values, and there is no way in hell Bloomberg comes close to getting the Dem nom. It would be bad news if he runs 3rd party, which he might, or if he funds a bunch of negative ads against the progressives–but all that shit is coming anyway from the GOP.
