Bernie Sanders is an insurgent trying to change the Democratic Party by creating a mass movement that could infuse it with new blood. Michael Bloomberg wants to simply buy the existing party and make it an instrument for his personal ambition. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bloomberg-democratic-nomination-buy/ …
1990年,彭博的同事曾开玩笑的合撰了一本题为《可携带的彭博:彭博的幽默与智慧》(The Portable Bloomberg: The Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg)的小书,记录彭博的「名言」,给彭博作生日礼物。如今这本小书却成为了政治炸弹。例如,在书中,彭博曾如此定义一个出色的销售员:「一个出色的销售员会懂得直接点餐。他进了酒吧、向里面所有好看的女生逐个询问『你要不要干』,他遭到很多人拒绝,也同时被很多人干了。」类似的言论,在今天的民主党中完全不能接受。
