Bloomberg doesn't have principles, but yes he's a lifelong Democrat. He was never a Republican but he ran for Mayor as one because they didn't have any candidates and the Democrats refused him because they already had 4 candidates in their primaries. Once he was a two termer as a Republican he dropped them and ran as an independent. It was nothing but political expediency.swoop42 wrote:I would never support Carlton for 6 years and still have the nerve to call myself a Collingwood supporter.Jezza wrote:Wrong.

Bloomberg was a registered Republican for only six years of his life (2001-2007). In all other years, he's either been an independent (2007-2018) or a Democrat (before 2001; 2018-present).
If anything, Sanders doesn't belong in the Democratic party and deep down he knows this as well, but understands he won't make any progress unless he runs on a party ticket.
He's no Democrat.
It's like Daisy or Mick McGuane playing for the Blues. They aren't one but the Pies wouldn't give them a gig so they went where they could play. Same for Bloomberg. If he thought there was more chance in taking on Trump in the primary he would've done that instead.
