    I don’t think Bloomberg is running for President. He is running to be the one everyone—including a new Democratic president—is beholden to.

        Yes, once he made clear that his campaign expenditures were going to be above and beyond what he'd planned to spend on legislative races, it looked very much to me like a patronage arrangement.

        Bloomberg could have fixed Flint's water problem at least 20 times over with the money he's burned on his campaign. He's a divisive cynic, running to get some advantage at the convention where he thinks he'll be a power broker. People like Bloomberg are THE problem.

        Imagine the impact he or Steyer could make by paying off the fines and fees to reinstate voters in Florida

        He's probably also running to institionalize a neoliberal approach to climate breakdown, e.g. with more carbon offsets projects. Same promised by Liz in her Blue New Deal. Same in his C40 cities. He wants to save capitalism.

        Another strong reason to support the person least likely to feel compelled to repay him.

        Wasn’t that Trump’s plan too? He just wasn’t disciplined enough and got himself elected.
