Call it the “White Privilege Ticket.”  A report over the weekend claims Mike Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton as his running mate.  When I first saw that, my linear- thinking mind said ... no way.  A few hours later the Bloomberg people backed away. 

Here’s why.  Bernie Sanders supporters comprise about 25 percent of the democratic base.  They don’t like Bloomberg because he’s a white billionaire.  They don’t like Hillary because she’s been trashing Bernie.  

So, Mayor Mike is okay with losing a big chunk of the dem vote?  Come on.  If Bloomberg does secure the nomination, he has to choose a liberal African American as his second.

And then there’s the Trump-Barr situation. My new column has the inside story on that. We’ll also have Brett Tolman on tonight’s No Spin News to talk about it.  See you this evening.
