Strong endorsements of Bloomberg from Rahm Emanuel at Politico, and Bret Stephens at the NYT.
Both make me feel like they're pitching the same arguments Republicans used (and still use) to justify their support for Donald Trump, only with the Republican scratched out and "Democrat" scribbled in in its place. I think Stephens sums it up best, when he says, The Democratic base will not sit out the election and squander its chances to oust Trump just because Bloomberg’s wealth offends them or because they won’t vote for a candidate who doesn’t embrace the Green New Deal.
I will be proud to reject both old white Republican New York billionaires on any ballot.
I don't know if there is any Democrat whose endorsement is less likely to make me support a candidate than Rahm
