Paraphrasing, that was the line that caught my attention during last night’s Democratic melee.
Mayor Pete tried to sting Bernie with “The 40 new congressional reps who were elected, weren’t running on your platform, Bernie … and now, they’re already running away from it.”
Mayor Mike stepped into school him on the point:
“No, it was the $100 million that I personally threw into those campaigns.”
Did he really say that?
The guy who is who is literally trying to buy the 2020 presidential election, crowed that he successfully bought the 2018 Congressional races.
Yipes.
The guy who is supposed to be the Democratic champion for capitalism offered up one of the strongest talking points against it.
When jabrones like Bloomberg grow their wealth to a point that they can buy control of the government, and try to do it, that’s a problem.
Chilling, isn’t it?

Come on, Ken. What should be chilling is the fact that elections can be bought at all. Corporate money, special interests and Super PACs have been doing this for years thanks to election finance laws. Mike B is a drop in the bucket vs the 6.5 B in cost of 2016 elections.
