    The Most Dangerous Answer at Last Night’s Debate0

    First of all, Democrats, thank you. I know we’ve had our differences over the years, but last night you did your nation and indeed all of humanity a service when you ritually humiliated Michael Bloomberg.

    How the Ruling Class Might Elect Bloomberg and Realign American Politics0

    The Democratic Party’s establishment might well succeed in making Michael Bloomberg president of the United States – not on Election Night 2020, however.
