Wasserman Schultz: Unnecessary For Bloomberg to Run Because Democrats Already Are Championing His Issues

KATE SNOW, MSNBC: Mike Bloomberg, this potential that he could get in there, especially if Bernie Sanders is the Democratic nominee. What do you think would happen?

REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D-FL), DNC CHAIRWOMAN: You know, I think if Mike Bloomberg takes a look at the issues that are being focused on by any one of our Democratic candidates for president, he'll take a good, close look and realize that it's not necessary for him to run in order to get the agenda that matters to him because Democrats are fighting for the issues that he's championed.

only one Democratic Party candidate is championing his ideas. OK, could someone please inform DWS that there are currently THREE, count 'em, THREE candidates running for the Democratic Party's nomination.

THREE, Debbie, THREE.

Without his support, we wouldn't stand a shot against the NRA. I give him props for his fight for gun control and safety.

The DNC has NOT done a damn thing about the scam, and crime against democracy, that is Electronic Voting Machines.

Bet ya that DWS goes around saying ; "...it's who counts the votes..."
