Politico: “Bernie Sanders insists he has nothing personal against Michael Bloomberg. ‘I really don’t.’ He just thinks he’s trying to ‘buy an election,’ is demonstrating ‘the arrogance of billionaires’ and, as Bloomberg opens his near-bottomless wallet to pay for TV ads, is complicit in ‘undermining’ American democracy.”
“One day after Bloomberg announced his late entry into the Democratic presidential field, Sanders and his progressive allies aren’t holding back. ‘What he believes — and this is the arrogance of billionaires: “Hey, I can run for president because I’m worth $55 billion, and maybe I’ll take $1 billion out of that $55 billion” — not a lot, when you’re worth that much — and … start running a massive amount of TV ads in California and, in fact, all over this country,’ Sanders told reporters after a town meeting with union members in New Hampshire on Monday.”
