You know, at first I didn't much like Bloomberg coming in hard to this race, because he has publicly made very supportive statements about China's government and he has a lot of business interests in China. That inherently made me not want him in the role. As time has gone by and he continues to pour money into his campaign, I've started to wonder more about his motivation and whether or not his familiarity with China is what's driving him. He knows what it's like for billionaires under a totalitarian leader. They are constantly vulnerable and under threat. I also don't get the impression he is doing this out of ego or for self-enrichment. Nor is he motivated by a core issue like the environment as Steyer is. I'm increasingly of the view that he's doing this out of self preservation and security of his own interests because he knows how bad it could get. What else would motivate a guy like him to spend what will likely become billions of his personal wealth in becoming president?
