"When he betrays that trust and puts himself before country, he endangers the Constitution, he endangers our democracy."

Biden has not shown the enthusiasm that will be needed to dislodge Trump. Everything I have seen about Mike Bloomberg indicates that he is the man to do just that.
In a letter to the editor, Andrew Bloom writes: "Currently, the Commission is holding town hall meetings across the Commonwealth to receive input from Massachusetts citizens regarding their thoughts, feelings, experiences and suggestions related to overturning the devastating 2010 Citizens United vs. FEC Supreme Court ruling, getting big money out of politics and un-corrupting the U.S. government."
