Sattler: Stop Bloomberg. He's showing billionaires how to buy the presidency and it's dangerous. | Opinion - www.usatoday.com

Excerpts from article:

...Bloomberg declared he'd be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

...Steyer to Bloomberg: Back a wealth tax or drop out of 2020 presidential race.

...While Trump used his star power and shamelessness to execute a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, Bloomberg is purchasing Democrats' affection, a practice he has long used to win over potential critics.

...Unlike Trump, who only put in a fifth of the money his campaign spent in 2016 and seems to be raking in cash at his businesses from his 2020 campaign, Bloomberg is taking no donations.

...Can Democratic voters forgive that or policies like stop-and-frisk, the unconstitutional practice of targeting mostly black Americans that Bloomberg pursued while ignoring real threats, like bankers who were in the process of crashing the economy and Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, whom Bloomberg praised as the reality star was birthering President Barack Obama?
