I Don't Think Bloomberg Has a Prayer of Being the Nominee, However,

[MineralMan]

I hope he spends millions on ads attacking Donald Trump. Let him run as many of those ads as he wishes, for as long as he wishes.

They'll help whoever becomes the Nominee get elected.

[we can do it]

1. I hope you are correct.

[Pantagruel]

2. Agreed about ads

but Bloomberg sees Biden, Warren and Sanders splitting the vote resulting in a gridlocked convention.
He becomes the "compromise candidate". A long shot but a chance for him.

[redqueen]

4. Only if the DNC wants to lose the election. nt

[crazytown]

12. Warren and Sanders delegates would choose Biden in a heartbeat,

a broken heartbeat maybe, but in a New York minute, if the alternative was Bloomberg.

3. TV pundits and Republicans seem to be the only fans he has.

I don't really dislike Bloomberg but I don't think he has any kind of constituency outside of NYC.

[Cosmocat]

15. Yep

Been telling people that all along. I dont gate him, but he has no votersin a democratic pr imary.

5. How he differs from current Dem candidates

carrys no weight.
How he differs from Trump is all that matters.
The first candidate that breaks out with a platform challenging Trump with issues that matter will draw a groundswell of support.
Election security, medical insurance reform, fair taxation, education funding are just a few areas we can show noted distinctions between Reps n Dems.
It is time to start running against the enemy and not ourselves.

6. MSNBC is in love with Mike

Why ? I don't get it

[TexasBushwhacker]

10. Big ad buys?

[crazytown]

13. They will be just as captivated if he crashes and burns.

Mike is the 'big story' of the moment.

[Cha]

17. lol.. I think you've

captured their essence.

[crazytown]

18. It is their pathetic pretensions to power -

'having a moment' - build 'em up; 'floundering' - tear 'em down. As if the media were masters of fate.

[Blue_true]

7. He may already realize that he won't win the nomination.

But being in the race is a good legal way for him to unleash his money on Trump. Hopefully the ads damage Trump beyond repair.

[W_HAMILTON]

8. I thought the same thing, but then I saw one of his ads.

It was all about touting himself -- barely anything anti-Trump in there.

9. I also really glad that Bloomberg will NOT be the nominee

I have no problem with Bloomberg running

[crazytown]

14. Is it worth nominating the most conservative Dem since Wilson

to win Texas?

[Skid Rogue]

11. I think he must know that he's not going to win the nomination.

So what's his point? I know many folks are thinking of him as a republican, the billionaire that he is, but I remember him as a Dem back in the pre-mayor NYC days.

Time will tell. He's got lots of money, so let's see who he attacks.

16. I am in Super Tuesday state

I have seen a dozen or so Bloomberg ads today

[MineralMan]

19. Yes. I'm in Minnesota, and I've seen the ads, too.

It's a very odd thing for Bloomberg to do, I think. I'm not sure what he's thinking.
