To those who feel so confident that PAC contributions don't help

1. agree

He has spent a fortune on pro progressive movements. So has Steyer. Both are on the good side. Unfortunately, to some- thier wealth alone is disqualifying

[Me.]

2. Good, That's His Role

Not pres. as I for one don't want another lying, cheating billionaire autocrat for president again

3. I am not for Bloomberg running for president, but can you tell me specifically why you are referring

to Bloomberg as a lying cheating billionaire.

Bloomberg is not even comparable to Trump, and pretty much made his own success.

5. Good points. nt

7. NYers Had Voted Twice For Term Limits

And as he came to the end of his second term as mayor he made a deal with the head of the city council, Christine Quinn, whereby they would overturn that vote and he then got to run for a 3rd term. It was very hush hush and very little said about it until he was running again. He also has/had a tendency towards autocracy. He's not a grifter and as far as I know, he doesn't steal but I don't want to see another billionaire in the WH telling us all what to do.

9. I agree with those sentiments. I just misinterpreted that you were implying he was a crook, and

comparing him to you know who.

Thanks for the clarification

10. No The Guy Isn't A Thief

and has done a lot of good but he has issues and there is a reason he was called a nanny. I think we can do better. If he wants in a cabinet position nmight be a good fit for him, like the EPA.

4. I didn't like Bloomberg as a mayor, but I always respected him as a businessman.

Unlike trump, Bloomberg is a self-made man who made his fortune honestly.

6. I wasn't referring to him as a politician in this context, and well aware of the issues he had when

he was Mayor

My only point was that I don't think he is a "lying cheating billionaire", though we are all aware of those that fit into that category

I just don't think he is one of them

I also don't think he should be President, and he won't be

[Me.]

8. True About The Money

I have no issues with that.
