The former New York Mayor has been the talk of the Democratic campaign this week.

FORMER NEW YORK Mayor Michael Bloomberg isn’t even running in today’s caucus in Nevada but he’s been the talk of the Democratic race all week.

Elizabeth Warren particularly tore into Bloomberg’s use of non-disclosure agreements with women who’d made allegations while being employed at his company. The assumed wisdom behind this strategy is that Democrats won’t have settled on a favourite after the first four races and that Bloomberg can swoop in on Super Tuesday when 14 different states will vote.

More controversially, Bloomberg faced criticism on Thursday when he tweeted out a doctored video of the debate the night before in which he falsely made it look like he’d caught out his opponents.Anyone? pic.twitter.com/xqhq5qFYVkIf this was the case, there are other indications that Bloomberg may be planning to take on Trump at his own game should he become the Democratic nominee.
