Long time conservative columnist George Will stumbles in his distaste for progressives:
Mike Bloomberg has found $100 million in his sofa cushions and will spend it on Biden’s behalf in Florida. Progressives, who think U.S. politics is polluted by “billionaires” and “big money,” are silent about Bloomberg’s naughtiness, perhaps because their grief about it has rendered them speechless.

Wars are fought on the terrain that is present, not on the terrain that exists in your imagination. At the moment, billionaires can decide this war, given the lack of knowledge most voters have at hand; therefore, you have to use any billionaires that happen to be available, if they’re permitted.
Progressives wonder why dollars should substitute for reasoned debate and an informed electorate. Will doesn’t seem to understand this conundrum.
