Bloomberg backs the NRA candidate, Scott Brown against Elizabeth Warren

It doesn't much matter because in spite of Bloomberg's Fundraiser for Scott Brown.. the Big Money didn't help a damn bit. Massachusetts was and is smarter than that. 2010 was an abberation.

Why is he only focusing on the 4 Democrats? What of the GOP who voted that way? Wazzup?

Thanks. We never hear anything good about him, but he's so anti-NRA. He should get props for that.

I suspect you were wrong. He did that because at the time, Brown said he was FOR major gun control

he had already backed Brown, long before Warren gave an answer on guns, or even entered the race.

100% wrong reading. Better the democratic candidates get rid of guns. Wellness rules. Guns don't.

Better that than threatening to support Greens, Pubbies, and independents...
