MICHAEL BLOOMBERG

摘要

Michael Bloomberg entered the presidential race in November with all the blinkered confidence of a billionaire who has heard time and again of his own business prowess and shrewd political instincts. He did invent his eponymous "terminal," transforming a portal for financial news into a cash cow that practically prints money. And for many years, the press hailed him as a kind of centrist Minotaur—half a Democrat, half a Republican, put on Earth to heal the divides in American politics. As recently as 2016, Politico's founder Jim VandeHei was pitching him as the only person who could unite "Establishment America" and "Normal America."
