"Biden’s frustrated Bloomberg, who wasn’t that close w/ @BarackObama, has created impression thru clever, ubiquitous ads that 44 has endorsed him, which he has not."

Bloomberg's ads are very deceptive in that regard.

But hey, if Biden and his supporters don't set the record straight soon, it will be too late for Joe's campaign.

1. Joe needs to get HIS message across

Joe needs to get HIS message across
and not join in on the mud throwing at Bloomberg.

Hey Joe, tell us why you're the one to Beat Trump.

13. He can't cause he doesn't have Bloomberg's money

2. Funny, I never got the impression Obama approved of Bloomberg or his ads

But I don't really care either so there's that.

3. Bloomberg's ad is no more "deceptive". than Biden's ad

Obama says positive things about both. Obama endorses neither.

4. David Axelrod seems to disagree with you on that.

Biden’s frustrated Bloomberg, who wasn’t that close w/ @BarackObama, has created impression thru clever, ubiquitous ads that 44 has endorsed him, which he has not.

Creating an impression that is not actually true is pretty much the definition of being "deceptive".

5. I find it hard to believe

that Bloomberg would have made an ad featuring a beloved former Dem president without at least telling the Obama camp first. He knows damn well that Obama could torpedo it at any moment by publicly distancing himself from the ads.

So far there's nothing but crickets from Obama.

I'll stick with the candidate that is taking the fight to Trump instead of the ones pre-occupied with flinging poo at their fellow primary candidates.

6. Clever/deceptive ads can be persuasive but then so is the TRUTH. Now if there were only some

strict guidelines controlling election spending...oh, that's right. If I were Joe I wouldn't worry too much.

7. Well, we could just not vote for the candidate who is being deceptive.

The hard work is getting the facts out to voters.

Even though I am a Warren supporter, if it comes down to it I will vote for Biden over Bloomberg in a heartbeat.

10. Now why didn't I think of that? (sarcasm) Of course we can make sure our votes count the way

we want them to...

11. ;) And Joe had better start worrying about Bloomberg's deceptive ads

in regards to how close Bloomberg was to President Obama (according to David Axelrod, not very close at all).

Those ads are siphoning Biden's supporters away.

[question everything]

8. Same Axelrod who declared that Harris had the best campaign?

I admit, I don't trust him. But that's my nose..

9. WHOA !!! If Bloomberg is seen slamming Obama that's it for him ... he's done. Just damn, why ?!

Other than to consilidate the moderates in the party against someone?

12. Bloomberg has managed to make Biden seem great by comparison.

Sure, there's Anita Hill, the bankruptcy law, the touchy-feely stuff, all the gaffes and so on, but he's a saint compared to Bloomberg.
