Warren Accuses Mike Bloomberg of Trying To Buy the Election

‘I don’t believe that elections ought to be for sale’

EXCERPT:

WARREN: “And for me, what's broken in America is we've got a country that is working great for those at the top, an economy that is working great for those at the top, and a democracy that is working great for those at the top. It's just not working for much of anyone else. And that's why I’m so concerned about Michael Bloomberg jumping into this race, dropping $37 million in one week on ad buys? I don’t believe that elections ought to be for sale. And I don’t think as a Democratic Party that we should say that the only way you’re going to get elected, the only way you’re going to be our nominee, is either if you are a billionaire, or if you’re sucking up to billionaires. Because the problem we've got, if that's the case, is buckle your seatbelts because that means your government is just going to work better and better for billionaires. We've got this chance in 2020 where the door has opened this much, where we could make the kind of change that makes our economy and our democracy work for everyone.  I want to see us take that chance."
