1. I don't want to restrict democracy, and I have no real animus towards Bloomberg....

But you know, I'm sick of billionaires running for president. At least B and Steyer are REAL billionaires, unlike Trump, but I think that it's just too much power. Being that rich is power in itself.

But oh, well, better a Democrat billionaire than a Republican faux-billionaire.

2. It'll work for now until we get some much needed laws passed.

Right now we need to focus on getting the shit stain out.

5. You almost have to be a billionaire to run for president any more.

Most people can't quit their jobs for a couple of years to campaign unless they have some other source of support. Senators can do it because they still get paid, but you can't even get to be a senator unless you are pretty affluent. I don't like it that Bloomberg can buy his way to a nomination, but if he wants to use his money to kick Trump's ass I guess I can't complain.

4. Trump pardoned seal convicted of war crimes.

6. Long thought there would be resonant resistance in some cases, [like Gold Star families].
