    Oh how the Democrats bragged how they were going to treat their workers right and even unionized them and big promises. Well seems Bloomberg made one and is now backing out and screwing them.

    "Former campaign workers for Michael R. Bloomberg’s presidential bid reacted angrily on Monday to news that they would not work through the November election, as expected.

    When the multibillionaire Michael R. Bloomberg hired an army of staff members for his presidential campaign, he lavished them with salaries that were nearly double what other candidates were paying. His campaign also promised something rivals could not match: job security through the general election, even if he dropped out of the race.

    But now, less than a week after Mr. Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, left the Democratic presidential race — endorsing former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and pledging to put his vast resources behind him — hundreds of Mr. Bloomberg’s field organizers and regional organizing directors around the country are suddenly without jobs, having received emails on Monday that encouraged them to keep their campaign-issued electronics as a sort of severance payment.

    HA thanks for the commitment and you can keep the phone!

    They knew Bloomberg was a farmer when they signed up, and farmers shut down all the money when there's a dead crop in the field. No surprise here.

    No, really, Bloomberg is an engineer by education and profession, and engineers are just like farmers -- when it don't work they shut the money down quickly.

    No, really, Bloomberg is a human being and no human being in their right mind throws good money after bad.

    Unless maybe a few of the top dogs have a contract with guarantees and severance pay rights, they're all SOL.

    Several weeks ago I made this prediction:

    The odds of me being right about the communist are looking rather slim, but I nailed the bit about Dems being pissed when Bloomberg pulled his funding.

    I didn't see much post Trump's election. Didn't vote for him. But I have to admit I have respected most of his policies and support them and see that clear difference based on what Bloomberg has been saying. I just wish Trump would keep his mouth more shut and stop with narcissism he can show and stop having to compare himself to Obama or others. But then when the opposition and that included the FBI and CIA and DOJ and Obama administration and 90% of the MSM and everyone in Hollywood are constantly and fallaciously attacking you....................................
