I know next to nothing about him and it's seeming more likely he will actually be relevant. He has a very troubled history on race: Stop and frisk, the audio coming out of him saying they should just "xerox descriptions of 16-to-25 year old minorities to police," the audio of him coming out and saying the cause of the 2008 financial crash was because we ended the practice of redlining. He also ran as a Republican as mayor in New York, then when he hit term limits he strong-armed his way into getting another term. And there's also the extreme distaste of the fact that he's literally buying his way into this election on a level that makes even Steyer look tame. There's more, I'm sure and others can cover it if they like (I recall there also being quotes of him making gross objectifying comments towards women) but that's all just off the top of my head. I actually hope he makes it to a debate stage (and wonder if he actually wants to avoid them) so the other candidates can nail him on all this. They've been doing it in interviews and social media but man it would be great to see Warren decide to go out exposing him in a national debate. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:934387328] in Politics C...
