What else do I need to say? You think he is going to publish an article acknowledging his own failure?

Another thing to keep in mind is that while Bloomberg funded McPike and Gecker (who lost), there were other candidates who foolishly acknowledged support for gun control and lost. If gun control is something that the populace wants, why do gun control supporters have such a hard time being elected? I think the answer is that support for gun control is a radical fringe position that has no business being associated with the democratic party.
