If this is meant to be humor… it’s not well executed or communicated.
I chuckled.
To me it is just sad this is where politics resides.
Ok, I’m enjoying Bloomberg’s media campaign. Expressing admiration for a dictator should be called out. I was never impressed when I heard Trump express his admiration for dictators either.
Maybe Bloomberg ain’t so bad after all.
With all the experience sanders has, it’s surprising that he is this dumb. With all his comments about Castro, he should know that he’s just giving Foxnews commentators an easy target.

Congrats Bernie, you just handed Florida to the Republicans.

It buggers reality that you can’t acknowledge something that would in any other circumstances be acknowledged as a good if it was the result of some action by a political figure who otherwise generally did awful things. I don’t know why you would want to do this as a politician unless you’re discussing the good thing in some other context.

In fairness, it probably doesn’t matter. I can’t see Bernie beating Trump regardless. Got to figure the majority of Democrats would be at best lukewarm to him, most undecided voters won’t go for him. So it basically comes down to how strong is the “anybody but Trump” sentiment to get the voters out.

I suggest you don’t look up Bloomberg’s comments on China. Or is that a dictator we are ok with, I forget. Really confusing forgetting the dictators we are allowed to praise and which ones we are supposed to not even acknowledge what they have done.

Let me guess, Bloomberg’s got significant financial interests in China?
There are times when I think it would be nice to be able to acknowledge that everyone is a mixed bag, neither purely good nor purely evil.
However, I don’t think we can expect to do that in the context of a television interview. The format doesn’t allow for the development of more complicated ideas. The audience isn’t really primed to hear good things said about someone associated with widespread suffering. For many people, the widespread suffering is a wound and hearing good things said about the dictator is salt in the wound.
So, I say call it out. It’s not like we’re lacking in great people to admire.

Maybe Bloomberg ain’t so bad after all.
He’s not. 12 years as mayor of NYC he pretty much proved that he has his own thoughts on a lot of things and doesn’t follow one party’s rules. He is playing Democrat right now because he hates Trump and the Republican ticket is locked, but he isn’t anymore a Democrat as he is Republican.
Hopefully more people will realize he is a good compromise for both sides.
As far as going up against Trump, if it comes to fruition that will be fun to watch. Trump is no match for Bloomberg in any category.
I think it would be obvious to anyone who’s 1) on Twitter, and 2) following a politician on Twitter, that it was pointed humor, and not actual quotes from Bernie Sanders. Given the audience, and the fact that it plays on what Bernie actually said, I have no problem with it at all.
If it ran as a prime time ad during America’s Got Talent, then yeah, that message directed at that audience might be a bit over the line. It’s like telling a filthy joke to your drinking buddies versus your grandmother in law. Know your audience.
Let me get this straight, Bernie says something positive about Cuba’s literacy program and perhaps its health care system, and that is supposed to end with Sanders NOT getting the nomination and Americans still have no health care (or very expensive) and no improvement to education. Thats politics for ya.

What does “terminals subscriptions†mean? I don’t understand those words together.

Bernie has the ear of a lot of young people who typically sit out the vote. He has a lot of support, and I think, at the end of the day, he is your best shot at a D winning.
Bloomberg and Biden will inspire the same typical apathy towards politics and a lot of voters will just stay home. I do not believe Sanders supporters would vote for either, and right now, that’s looking like a shit ton of people.

So, Bloomberg’s terminal subscriptions (to the tune of $20k/yr) are blocked by Chinese gov’t because of the Bloomberg news story about the millionaire head of people’s party? Why didn’t you just say so!

** She would not comment on whether Bloomberg was in talks with the government over the issue, but said “there is no impact†to the company’s other services, including terminal feeds used by clients to access economic data and news. **
