Michael Bloomberg Isn’t Going Anywhere
As badly as Michael Bloomberg performed in his first debate last night — and he was gloriously bad — he’s not going anywhere. Even if he doesn’t get a nomination, his billions will be a massive weapon for Bernie Sanders opponents within and outside the Democratic Party.
If You’re Worried About Misinformation, Focus on For-Profit TV News
