We've seen & heard the rest

What harm is there is seeing and hearing what Michael Bloomberg is offering?

Some of our 'heroes' have faltered, and some have dropped out.

Even the "My candidate or the highway" folks should be willing to listen.

In my humble opinion.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Bloomberg's wealth manager: 'Warren scares the hell out of me'
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287340061

But if Bloomberg makes it 100% certain trump can't win, well, why does it take a 'offing wealth tax for Wall Street to turn patriots?

Some think Sanders can't win Trump voters.

Some want to hear what Bloomberg will say.

4. I agree. I like Michael Bloomberg - he was a good mayor (stop and frisk notwithstanding).....

He's done a lot of good for the city and the country. Some may not realize it, but last year he gave away about $5B to good causes, roughly 10% of his net worth.

The only reason he was a republican is so that he could run for and win the office of Mayor. He switched from being a Democrat in 2001, and even before he left office he became an Independent, and then after that became a Democrat.
