I don’t agree on Bloomberg being candidate 2020 and I don’t thoroughly agree that in 2006, overt preps were being made for a Marxist 0bama. I don’t think that all that many knew quite how radical he was going to be, although, perhaps the DNC leadership did. I could be wrong. I believe he was viewed more as “utopian”. I think he was viewed as “the first Black pres” novelty that none of the boring likes of Yeb, Kasich et al could defeat. Again, perhaps I am splitting hairs.
In brief summary, I considered how much of the posted article is exaggeration and how much of it is probably accurate. I think it’s only about 20% exaggerated. Which is pretty accurate.
