Did anyone hear what Andrew Yang said on CNN last night about...

... Bloomberg's data center. He said it was way bigger than anything the DNC had, down to the delegate. Then he said mumble, mumble, mumble, he'll pull out. Yang wasn't really mumbling, his colleagues were talking over him. I think the criterion he was talking about had something to do with Sanders. Sounded really interesting.

Hoping someone heard it.

He started the story by talking about checking in on one of his people to make sure they were dong okay.

Bloomberg is such a mixed bag. So much really bad, but some sprinkles of real good.

Yesterday I went to one of the HD broadcasts of a live performance of the Metropolitan Opera (Agrippina, and it was spectacular) - and it turns out the Bloomberg Charities funds the digital operation of these broadcasts.

I think he knows how to leverage the system. Too bad his history is such a pile of shit.

I did see a DU thread suggesting that Bloomberg asked Yang to run with him as his VP candidate. Neither Yang nor his team has responded to questions about this rumor. Bloomberg's team allegedly "distanced themselves" from the rumor but did not deny it.

My daughter is down with a Bloomberg/Yang ticket, btw. She’s not that fond of Bloomberg, but having Yang on the ticket would be sufficient to get her vote.

For what that’s worth.
