A Student’s Opinion on Bloomberg’s Campaign Ethics
By Nicholas Papini | Assistant Editor

The newly instated democratic presidential debate format instituted by the Democratic National Convention (DNC) is highly flawed and blatantly favors wealthier candidates.
The DNC relaxed its previously stringent participation requirements for former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg, due to funding the entirety of his campaign with his rather exorbitant wealth, would not meet the requirement of a minimum amount of grassroots donations from a certain number of districts. It is my belief that the DNC very specifically withheld that requirement so that Bloomberg could qualify for these debates.
