Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg getting into the presidential race would be a gift to Democrats, America and the world, according to Bret Stephens in The New York Times.

With a net outward migration, and plummeting birth rates, cities like New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. — Democrat strongholds all — seem bound to damn the party to demographic doom. However, these urban strongholds do hold massive wealth to fund Progressive campaigns.
A transgender actor in a skirt attacks a Trump 2020 campaign sign, stomps it, and steals it, until challenged by the man who owns the sign. We’ve got the video. Why does the peace-loving Left, seem to be the instigators of violence? Why would a Progressive trans person find a campaign sign so disturbing as to physically attack it?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, gets failing grades on the only thing she was really hired to do — serve her constituents. She doesn’t show up. The people she represents can’t reach a human at her local office. What was she elected to do?
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to spend $500 million to beat President Trump in the 2020 White House race.
