I don’t think “centrists” are sufficiently scared of Bloomberg. He is a Republican and his supposed “realist” appeal is actually petty authoritarianism. His personal wealth and conflicts of interest are staggering, and I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say his election would signal the end of a functional republic (if that hasn’t already happened). He owns a giant news org for crying out loud… He’s basically Crassus, except unlike him, I don’t think we can count on Bloomberg getting beheaded in Turkey.
