Bloomberg vs. Bernie is the match made in hell and one desired by both
by Tiana Lowe
February 18, 2020 02:27 PM In the span of a week, the Democratic presidential primary has morphed into a war for the party's soul. Former front-runner Joe Biden has collapsed, giving way to a contest that essentially boils down to a war between Bernie Sanders and billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The latter has used $400 million of his own money thus far (pocket change to him) to catapult his candidacy to third place nationally and to dominate a number of Super Tuesday states in advance.
The existential struggle to save the republic from Dictator Drumpf has devolved from a melee between some of the party's most promising talents in elected office to a twilight struggle between a septuagenarian socialist who wants to abolish billionaires and a septuagenarian caricature of evil billionaires. Most terrifyingly, the two appear to be welcoming this offensively idiotic war.
Bloomberg's strategy makes perfect sense. With tons of cash to burn on the ground, the businessman can afford to expend his social media efforts on a Very Online offensive designed to bait the dregs of the Bernie Bros.
