re: #49 Rightwingconspirator

Did Bloomberg say Republicans or conservative thought? To give the GOP an exclusive overlap is wrong in numerous ways. For one it tarnishes decades of conservative thought with the current GOP extreme, a position demonstrably false. For another that serves the critics who would broad brush that very well in a self serving way. “MBF” does not change that.

California has a moderately fiscal conservative Governor. So much so he still needs a little help from the California GOP legislators to offset the further out there pols on the left.

From the article, Bloomberg appeared to be drawing all his conclusions from the difference in donations by Ivy Leaguers to Democrats and Republicans. So presumably Bloomberg thinks some kind of balance between the Democrats and Republicans would be better.

If the Republicans weren’t so consistently awful, I wouldn’t have a beef with Bloomberg’s position.

With respect to Jerry Brown in CA, I’m reluctant to call him a “conservative”. He seems fiscally sound, but that is hardly a “conservative” quality these days.
