Is anyone actually surprised?

He might be travelling the same path a significant amount of the time, but he isn't a Democrat at heart. He also went back on his promise to employ / pay his campaign staff through november no matter what.

He has no editorial control over Bloomberg News, if that's what you're referring to.



I wish, to be fair, you'd just post the article(s) that are angering you so we can all see what we're talking about.

Did you listen to them during the Primaries? They were even critical of Mike Bloomberg. He doesn't control what they publish.

I figured Bloomberg News was a vanity project of his.
My ignorance.

I suppose it's admirable that he allows them editorial freedom, but I'm disappointed in their messaging.

In that respect, he would be a true centrist democrat. Then again here's hoping he unleashes all hell after Labor Day?

There are still months of campaigning yet. Don't write Mr. Bloomberg off yet.

I don't know what his plans are, but he is way smarter than me when it comes to strategy....like where and when he spends his money.
