    I pointed out he can't win with blacks after making those statements because they will be construed as racist. My opinion is irrelevant in that context.

    Oooooo . . . Hillary will be so angry after already going through the trouble of concocting Bloomberg's suicide note.

    Exactly, LM. Well said.

    I don't really see Trump doing much better than the 8% that he got in '16.

    As far as the VP?

    I like Amy for Bloomberg.

    Ok, fair point. Maybe Bloomberg isn't SJW enough to take the democratic nomination. He had to manage the largest city in the nation and sometimes that means making decisions that work in real life, rather than pandering to far-left activists. I would have voiced my support of his decision if I agreed with it.

    Mike Bloomberg is an idiot. Congress passed regulations that required banks to give mortgages to people who didn't qualify.
    It also had nothing to do with race.

    So Mike blames black people for the financial crisis that largely resulted from the securitization of mortgage loans by investment banks. One could say Mike's people caused the problem.

    I support your freedom of speech, even if it is a lie.

    Gary Johnson most likely caused Hillary to lose in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. If she had gotten all of his votes she would have wine the election and been President. The margin was too great in Ohio so it is doubtful that additional black votes would have given her a victory. While it is important to get every vote 3rd party candidates can cost victory in close elections. So if there are any in this election they will cost the Dem candidate victory in several States.

    No democrat can win without the black vote.
