Credit where it's due - Mike Bloomberg


I have made it clear that I hated Mike Bloomberg's candidacy and his attempt to buy his way to the Presidency. Proof is here and here.

But I have to give him credit. When he lost Super Tuesday, he quickly withdrew from the race and confirmed that he will continue to do something good for America.
Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg has decided to form an independent expenditure campaign that will absorb hundreds of his presidential campaign staffers in six swing states to work to elect the Democratic nominee this fall.
The group, with a name that is still undisclosed because its trademark application is in process, would also be a vehicle for Bloomberg to spend money on advertising to attack President Trump and support the Democratic nominee, according to a person familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal deliberations.

I'm not going to give Bloomberg the Hunger Games salute, but I will give him props for not being bitter and taking his ball and going home. His dedication to beating Trump was obviously sincere and his support for doing the right thing is greatly appreciated.
