Rumor says Bloomberg has promised to spend as much to support an opponent from the left for any Democrat anyplace (e.g. Colorado) who breaks ranks on the drive to grab guns and make felons of folks with normal capacity magazines.
If the 10th richest man in America wants to buy elections across the country, who are we -- the 99% -- to complain?
And when a miniscule fraction of what he will spend on this Illinois election comes from conservative donors from out of state . . ..
