If he did that I'd flip to Bloomberg so quick
I live in a slum. People don't realize how bad things are because all they see is the stock market and fake & misleading job numbers.
Shit is bad. Real bad.

(3,765 posts)4. I saw Yang on CNN
Just now. He didn't confirm that Bloomberg had offered him VP. But he said he'd been in touch with "a number" or "several "campaigns, I can't remember which.
I'm wondering which ones.
I could see him teaming up with Warren or Sanders. But not Biden or Klobuchar. I could see Bloomberg wanting him but I don't see that happening.
