This is a very good @DouthatNYT column on why Bloomberg is so appealing to the rotted, craven Democratic establishment, and it's particularly good on comparing the relative dangers posed by Trump and Bloomberg: nytimes.com/2020/02/15/opi… 
@DouthatNYT Also, even absent Bloomerg's incomparably dangerous presidential run, the great NYT article on his political spending revealed just how easily corrupted and purchased the Democratic/liberal establishment is with Bloomberg's money. He basically owns DC Dems nytimes.com/interactive/20…
@DouthatNYT Not just the headline from this 2012 NYT article but also the first two paragraphs underscore just how craven and rotted the Democratic Party establishment is for being even mildly receptive to a Bloomberg candidacy, let alone as excited as many are nytimes.com/2012/07/27/nyr…
@DouthatNYT A certain normally-garrulous CAP President has gone silent ever since NYT exposed that top brass at her DC think tank forced their own writers and researchers to delete material about Bloomberg & the NYPD from their report on anti-Muslim bias so as to not lose Bloomberg's funding
