Just saw a Bloomberg for President ad

I have to admit, it's a pretty good ad. I had forgotten about how soon after the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks, he became mayor.

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

Bernie Sanders aligns more closely with the Democratic platform I value than Bloomberg who has been a Republican for most of his political career.

And if Bernie Sanders "aligns more closely with the Democratic platform", why has he spent his career attacking it?

But I would drag my ass through 12 miles of broken glass to vote for Bernie if it meant keeping Bloomberg from being the nominee. In that sense, Bloomberg may be a uniter after all.

However, since I am pretty sure he will not be, I can rest easy. There is no way I am voting for Bloomberg to become the nominee, no matter how nice his ads are.

... Bloomberg wouldn't be a good president. I'm OK with the idea that billionaires can be good people. BUT I DO have a problem with a system that allows people with personal fortunes to buy their way onto the stage. The mere appearance of these ads in Google searches makes me unwilling to pay any more attention to Bloomberg. If the rest of the Dems choose him, I'll back him, sure. But he's not going to be chosen with my help.
