Starting to pay attention to Bloomberg more closely

[Aviation Pro]

He seems to be the only candidate who is attacking the threat head on.

That's the way we win this muthafucker up and down ballot.

[CentralMass]

1. He cut the line without doing any of the frontend work and is running a GE campaign against tRump.

No thank you.

[ChubbyStar]

4. Big Wallet Tiny Ideas

Not a fan of Mikey.

[Aviation Pro]

8. He got that big wallet

Because he had big ideas and vision.

[ChubbyStar]

10. Your opinion

Thanks for sharing.

[Aviation Pro]

13. Sure is

You don't get to 50 billion dollars by being a member of the lucky sperm club. Not a single Walton can claim that and definitely not the orange-faced shitbag.

[I_M_Blue_2]

96. Look at his story, his family was not rich

He is rich because of his own effort.

[choie]

90. and what "big ideas and vision"

does he have that will improve the lives of Americans who aren't million or billionaires?

[Aviation Pro]

95. Start with his efforts in Virginia

And find out for yourself.

[I_M_Blue_2]

102. He has put his money were his mouth is

Look at his story

[choie]

139. and how is that going to make your life better?

[Aviation Pro]

7. So what

He's attacking that shitbag rather than wasting time in the caucus states. And rather than mealy mouthing how bad the orange fuckstick is, he's taking it right to the ego of the bloated corpse.

That projects winner to me.

[redqueen]

25. Yikes

[CentralMass]

42. So good for him but I'm not going vote for him in the primary

[Squinch]

26. Good God. You guys have no sense of irony whatsoever.

[delisen]

29. No one forced to enter a caucus or primary

It is a choice.

[xmas74]

69. Let him run that campaign.

He's stated he's donating at least another billion even if not the nominee. His campaign is to keep other Dems clean and hit Trump head on. He has effectively chosen to be friendly fire. This allows other candidates to focus on the race instead of answering a bully on Twitter.

[I_M_Blue_2]

100. He is a surer bet to beat Trump than Bernie is

And I love Bernie. But I want to beat Trump

[George II]

2. That's the key to Bloomberg - aside from his own campaign, he's giving MILLIONS to candidates...

..up and down ballot. He gave over $200M to Democratic candidates in 2018. He's sure to do that this year, win or lose the nomination.

[aikoaiko]

54. He also liked to fund Republicans, too.

[xmas74]

73. But he has stated he will donate

2 billion,all to Dems this year.

He won't win the nomination but he's having fun sticking it to Trump. Let him draw fire and the others run a race.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

111. Not just FUND Rethugz; he's endorsed The Shrub &is Rudy's buddy! But hes a REAL Democrat, not Bernie

LMFAO, Bloomberg endorsed Brown over WARREN in her run for the U.S. Senate!!! Need I say more?!?! I agree he'd be a better choice than Joe, but come on!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[scheming daemons]

3. Bloomberg understands that to win, the election has to be a referendum on Trump

The rest of our candidates spend the first 30 minutes of every debate talking about he miniscule differences between their health care plans.

They do not get the abject fear and angry of the electorate about *TRUMP*.


Tone deaf.


I'll give Bloomberg credit... he understands what the *REAL* issue is this fall. The *ONLY* priority is defeating Trump.

[NewJeffCT]

32. Biden started out that way as well

but, then the debates came along...

[Autumn]

5. Steyer was doing that before Bloom. But he had to start campaigning to make the stage.

[I_M_Blue_2]

106. Bloomberg does not need the debates to get TV exposure

Going on the debate stage is only risky for him

[Zolorp]

6. I'm seriously considering switching from Joe to Mike.

[helpisontheway]

11. Me too. I will wait to see how Biden does but I want someone that will punch back at Trump

and counter his Trump’s Dollar for Dollar because he is a real billionaire. Plus I bet you Bloomberg would spend a lot of help out in those Senate races.

[Zolorp]

14. He would need a Dem Senate after he wins, so yeah, lots of money to flip the Senate.

[Aviation Pro]

16. Yep...

….Bloomberg will drive the bloated fuckstick and his whole filthy family into bankruptcy.

[Blue_true]

24. He is on my short list in the Florida primary if he does good coming into my state primary.

We need someone who can strip Trump of the image of being successful, and someone who knows how to throw a punch, Bloomberg is showing ability at both.

[Zolorp]

31. He's been living rent free in Trump's head ever since he announced.

He's almost as good at this as Nancy Pelosi.

[Blue_true]

57. And I bet that if he is the nominee, he would seek out input from

people like Speaker Pelosi, instead of pissing on party stalwarts like a couple in the field seem intent on doing.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

113. Bloomberg is on your "short list"?!?!?!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[dem4decades]

84. My wife is all in for Bloomberg, i'm still keeping my powder dry for the best chance to beat the

Orange Menace.

If it looks like Bloomberg, i'll be all in too.

[liskddksil]

9. Putting Bloomberg in charge is like putting the arsonist in the fire brigade

Endorsed Republicans George W. Bush, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, and many more in critical races at all levels as recently as 2018. Not to mention a terrible policy history of supporting charter schools, stop-and-frisk, nanny-state soda bans.

[Aviation Pro]

12. Again, so what

You need a Democrat in the White House if you want anything done.

And you need a Democrat who doesn't need to reach across the aisle and wants to burn down the Republickspittle crime syndicate.

[sarisataka]

49. What makes a person a Democrat?

Is it someone devoted to the principles of the party and will work with fellow Democrats to advance the party platform?

Or is it someone who has an axe to gind so puts a (D) after their name and promises to toss some money to other candidates? Will that person, who has changed the letter several times, advance the party platform or will they have their own agenda?

What about those who took the money from the benefactor, will they be put in a position where they have to choose between supporting the party agenda or that of the source of the money that helped them get into office? A person who has a history of giving money to those who support his agenda, regardless of party?

[Aviation Pro]

50. Bloomberg because he really is self-financing

Will carry none of that bullshit baggage.

Glad to see a globe and anchor as your avatar. S/F.

[totodeinhere]

18. Yes, I would have to put Bloomberg pretty far down on my list.

He would get my vote if he were the nominee of course, but I don't think it's going to happen.

[bdamomma]

127. I see who are for

and he still has a large following, listen whoever it is, we got to save this country.

or we will go from one D...………...to the other D.

[Blue_true]

27. If he can explain why he endorsed those people, I am ok with that.

He is the only candidate so far that is talking about how to make the country grow and how to fund key social programs properly, I like that.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

115. Yes, but Bernie is the biggest threat to our Democratic way of life... yeah riiiight!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[I_M_Blue_2]

121. Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy

But Bernie calls himself a Democratic Socialist The label kills Bernie

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

123. Nope, it makes Bernie a Man of the People... I'll take Democratic Socialism in the mold of FDR

over Corporate Socialism every time!! Bernie is the only Democratic candidate that can take on trumpy the Clown and crush his skunky ass!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[I_M_Blue_2]

134. I like Bernie, but he cannot win

People will stick with the devil they know rather than take a chance on a revolution and socialism

[I_M_Blue_2]

119. So you like Trump instead?

We must win, our democracy depends on it.

[liskddksil]

128. That all you got? I'm an actual Democrat unlike Mike the Republican donor nt

[I_M_Blue_2]

131. He can beat Trump, that is all I care about

[liskddksil]

132. No he can't. African Americans will stay home. nt

[I_M_Blue_2]

133. So you think they want Trump, I think not.

They will vote

[Happyhippychick]

15. I'm starting to pay attention to him, too. I like Pete and Joe but may jump.

[totodeinhere]

17. I just think there is something unseemly about a multi billionaire trying to buy the

nomination with nonstop TV commercials. I said the same thing about Steyer. I prefer a nominee who is financed by small donations from everyday people like you and me.

[Aviation Pro]

20. Nothing stops anyone

From making contributions elsewhere such as supporting Amy McGrath, Sara Gideon or Mark Kelly with small donations.

If Bloomberg wants to spend his money that's a sign of focus and commitment. I like that.

[Squinch]

34. We are opposing Filthy Donnie. We really need to get over our fears of the

"unseemly."

There are candidates I prefer to Bloomberg. A lot. And I have suffered directly at his hands. He shit all over my union when he was mayor. But I only care about one thing in this election, which is beating Filthy Donnie.

I'm seriously considering supporting Bloomberg. The more I see, the more I think he is the only one who understands that messaging is everything in this election. And he's the only one who actually understands how to DO messaging. More and more, I am thinking he is the guy I can be sure will beat Trump.

That's all I care about. Nothing else.

[totodeinhere]

60. I think we should be able multitask. I want to beat Trump as much as you do.

But I want my candidate to be someone I can agree with on most issues and Bloomberg is not that candidate.

[calguy]

66. I care about other things besides beating trump

However, none of those other things I care about are remotely possible if trump is not beaten. So beating trump is the only I'm considering in who I'll vote for. Right now I'm still with Joe, but if it turns out to be Mike, I'm good with it. Beating trump is ALL.THAT.MATTERS.PERIOD!

[stopbush]

74. Billionaire Bloomberg v Millionaire Sanders.

To the average Joe, there’s no difference. 97% of us will never have that kind of wealth.

[JudyM]

98. $60 BILLION is a little different than $2 million. To anyone.

[totodeinhere]

108. But Bernie is not trying to buy the election.

He is financing his campaign with small donations unlike Bloomberg.

[ehrnst]

140. Well.... there are some questions being raised about that.

https://www.commoncause.org/press-release/common-cause-files-complaint-against-pro-bernie-sanders-group-our-revolution-for-violating-soft-money-ban/

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

117. NO SHIT!!! Thankfully, it's gonna be Bernie as our beloved Democratic nominee, so no need to worry!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[I_M_Blue_2]

122. Me too, but we must beat Trump N/T

[ehrnst]

141. Well...

https://www.commoncause.org/press-release/common-cause-files-complaint-against-pro-bernie-sanders-group-our-revolution-for-violating-soft-money-ban/

[jalan48]

19. Bloomberg vs Trump. A Wall St. match-up made in heaven..

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

114. Seriously...think I'll stick with Bernie, who fights for the working class on Main Street...

and is unafraid to take on the corporate elites on Wall Street!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[jalan48]

116. I think Wall St is already well represented, they don't need more.

[Blue_true]

21. Trump relies heavily on the belief that he is super rich.

Bloomberg can question that and ridicule Trump for lying about his wealth and be believed for a couple of important reasons, Bloomberg is a proven massive billionaire and he has very high financial savvy and can point out why Trump is lying.

[renate]

22. Bloomberg is the one guy I think would genuinely intimidate Trump

Tom Steyer's rich, but Bloomberg represents the New York that Trump desperately wanted, and failed to get, acceptance from.

I also love his new ad with the dogs, and the way that Bloomberg has the confidence to laugh at himself. No matter who gets the nomination, I want that ad agency working for the Democrats.

[Aviation Pro]

30. Didn't know he was a dog guy

As opposed to that bloated sack of shit who could barely get close to a Belgian Malinois because he and his gold digger were scared.

I like Bloomberg more now.

[Blue_true]

59. His daughter loves horses. She is a highly skilled equestrian. nt

[Squinch]

89. "He doesn't tweet." Reason to vote for him right there!!!

[Squinch]

36. And Steyer has just never "caught." Bloomberg is rising steadily, and I suspect

he has the primary process all worked out mathematically.

[Blue_true]

63. Steyer comes off as too soft. Unfortunately that matters in today's world. nt

[Awsi Dooger]

23. It's going to take some type of gamble to defeat an incumbent

We didn't have an ideal candidate in 2020 so I've long struggled to identify that gamble.

Now I think it is Mike Bloomberg.

This is the best way I cant put it: Think of that jerk white male loudmouth conservative in the neighborhood. Truck, American flags on both sides...whatever. He's going to vote for Trump. He'd love to vote for Trump the rest of his life.

But what Democrat is that jerk going to be least critical of? Believe it or not, that's the type of criteria we need to use. Not issues. Not long term party loyalty. If that loudmouth jerk pauses even a little bit when evaluating Bloomberg, if he nods his head even slightly in a measure of grudging respect, that type of thing is going to translate to votes where we need them.

[Blue_true]

40. Bloomberg instantly pulls back those people that voted for

Trump because he was "successful". Bloomberg can ridicule Trump over claims Trump makes about his wealth.

We need someone that can strip the image of success from Trump, Bloomberg is the only one in the race that does that.

[Amimnoch]

92. Incumbent this year, and everyone keeps forgetting a very key thing about 2016.

2016 was not ours to win, it was the Republicans to lose, and despite it being a year when winning "should" have been easy for them, they STILL lost the popular vote by more than 3 million, and less than a % in all the key swing states that got them there.

People forget this country is fickle as fuck. The Democratic Party has NEVER held a 3rd term since FDR after the amendment was passed. Not a single time. The Republicans have only broken that mold 1 time when George HW Bush won after 8 years of Reagan.

In this country, incumbent presidents tend to win unless there's significant economic or socio political upheaval (think Carter), a significant 3rd party challenge that eats into their margin (thing George HW Bush in 1992 with Ross Perot), A nasty primary challenge (again Carter with Ted in 1980)…

This is an incumbent year - not good for us
The Obama repaired economy remains strong - not good for us.
We are kicking off a large field of contentious primary candidates - not good for us.
Trump is facing no significant primary challenger at all - not good for us.
As of today, Trump is facing no 3rd party GE challenge - not good for us (as an aside this would be the GREATEST fucking thing in the world.. we need another Ross Perot!)

This is by no means a call out that our situation is hopeless though, but it is not going to be nearly as easy as many thinks and that means we have to fight all the harder.. get our asses out on the pavement and canvass this shit. Get on those phones and bank it. find the extra $$ we can pull out of our wallets and donate it.

[JudyM]

101. We need an alliance with the Greens.

[Kaleva]

28. Trump has raised crazy money for his reelection and Bloombeg has that under his couch cushions

[Blue_true]

44. Trump has raised only $145 million. Democrats have raised almost $400 million.

Even if we lose most of Yang and Sanders money in the General, our side still outraised Trump almost 2:1 and we are not fully engaged yet.

[Kaleva]

124. Dem candidates are spending the money fighting each other. Trump is building his war chest.

The important number is what individual campaigns have in cash on hand. The Dem nominee can transfer his or her contributions to the general campaign but doesn't get the money the other candidates have.

Bloomberg doesn't have to play catch up with Trump as he has so much more in personal assets then Trump has in campaign contributions and personal wealth.

[oldtime dfl_er]

33. He's not my first choice but

I am looking at him. He understands the big picture in a way I like. Any speculation on who he would choose as a running mate?

[Aviation Pro]

35. I'd take a guess and say

Gillum. Really hit the walking embodiment of phlegm in his home state.

[oldtime dfl_er]

37. If it was Stacey Abrahms

I would commit today.

[Aviation Pro]

38. Could be

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

[babylonsister]

41. What does that mean?

Gillum hit the walking embodiment of phlegm in his home state?

I love him and voted for him. I do hope he finds a place nationally.

[Aviation Pro]

45. It means if Bloomberg selects Gillum

It would be haymaker to the bloated motherfucker's stupid face.

[babylonsister]

48. Ah, gotcha, thanks! nt

[Blue_true]

47. He knows Booker really well and has worked with him on issues.

My guess is Booker would be first in line. Also, Booker doesn't seem to have much personal choices dirt on himself, republicans are going to try to attack at that point.

[TwilightZone]

39. Biden has been running a general election campaign since the beginning.

He's gotten a little sidetracked from time to time, but his campaign has primarily focused on Trump rather than his primary opponents.

Some of the other candidates have done so to perhaps a lesser extent - Klobuchar, Buttigieg, Steyer.

[Aviation Pro]

43. And yet I haven't seen one upper cut

To the sack of shit's figurative face like Bloomberg and his team have delivered like the obese, fake tan and fake hair statement.

Although I like Joe, he's using kid gloves and not a pair of brass knuckles.

[oldtime dfl_er]

46. Joe's issue

is that angry isn't a good look for him. So for him to display righteous anger, and reflect the righteous anger of all of us, he needs to find a way to do that.

[Blue_true]

52. I agree.

Last edited Tue Feb 4, 2020, 06:56 PM - Edit history (1)

When his son Hunter is mentioned, Joe becomes really angry and snappy. That is playing right into the Trump people's hands and Joe seems oblivious of that.

There are legitimate reasons why Hunter went onto the Burisma board. He had been working for a consulting firm that was helping Burisma solves issues of corporate governance, Hunter was a point person in that effort, so it made sense for him to go onto the board to have a direct say in improving the corporate governance of the company.

But with Joe snapping at reporters as soon as Hunter's name is mentioned, the true reason why it made sense for Hunter to sit on that board gets lost and Joe's behavior with the reporter that asked the question becomes the story.

[oldtime dfl_er]

81. exactly

.

[Cornell Engineer]

51. Way too early...

to dump Joe on the basis of a single cockeyed caucus in a lily-white midwestern state. But if polls start showing that Bloomberg does much better than Joe against Fuhrer Drumpf I'd have no qualms about switching over to Mayor Mikey.

"SWING VOTERS DRAW THE LINE AT SOCIALISTS”: NEW POLLING SUGGESTS KEY VOTERS ARE SKEPTICAL ON BERNIE, LOVE BLOOMBERG"

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/02/new-poll-suggests-key-voters-skeptical-on-bernie-sanders-love-bloomberg

Methinks many of my fellow progressives grossly underestimate how loathed the term "socialist" still is in much of the country...even if many socialism-hating Americans love it when it benefits them.

If it takes a genuine billionaire to beat a fake one these days then count me in.

[RelativelyJones]

53. I cannot find one earthly reason why Bloomberg would be a good choice.

[Aviation Pro]

55. As pointed out

He lives in the bloated fart sack's head.

[MichMan]

67. Well, so was Avenatti at one time

[Aviation Pro]

70. Avenatti is a sleazebag shyster

Bloomberg is anything but.

[MichMan]

120. Yet many here were touting Avenatti as a candidate because of the way he went after Trump

It wasn't until much later that he was seen for what he really was.

Do we need another wealthy person from NYC with no experience in Washington as president?

[DeterDeter]

76. $$$

Other than that, me neither. So nice that he gets to waltz in without the deserved scrutiny on his record, and while the candidates are sniping at each other, and people are so eager to jump on the bandwagon. I’m so repulsed.

[tinrobot]

56. Yeah... not a huge fan of his policies, but love the way he is campaigning.

I hope the other candidates get clue. If not, I may reluctantly switch.

My number one issue for 2020 is driving Republicans out of office.

[Aviation Pro]

58. After that sham of trial

That is the only issue, to drive these traitorous fuckheads out of office starting with the corpulent shitbag and ending with that fucking turtle-faced reptile.

[tinrobot]

62. Absolutely. All the other issues can wait.

We MUST get every last Republican out of office. It has to be our number one priority.

I'm voting for whomever can make that happen.

[calguy]

61. One thing I admire about Bloomberg

He's a self made billionaire. He has more money than he can ever spend in three lifetimes. What is he doing with all that extra money? He's not trying to aquire more power and influence the way the Kochs or Sheldon Adleman have on the GOP side. He sees the evil of trump and is doing everything he can to defeat him, whether he is the candidate or whether he isn't.

[Lexblues]

64. Bloomberg is running the best campaign

Either he's very lucky or very smart. Since he's a billionaire, I'll say he's very smart. The one thing I like is that he will put money in states like Texas without regard to finances. No other Dem nominee could afford to go after such states. He could literally be the first candidate to run a 50 state GE campaign.

[Aviation Pro]

65. Yep

Imagine taking Texas back with O'Rourke beating the fuck out of Cornyn because of Bloomberg's financial support.

The dullards heads would explode.

[calguy]

71. Well all I know is I have to watch one of his adds everytime I watch a youtube video.

[Doremus]

75. So now the best campaign is coming in and throwing money around until it sticks?

No more door knocking, talking to people one on one, tackling it the hard way?

I guess if you're a gazillionaire that's what passes for Politics Best Practices nowadays. Not buying it, thanks.

[Aviation Pro]

77. Look beyond the money

Here's his Get Involved web page:

https://www.mikebloomberg.com/get-involved?gclid=CjwKCAiAyeTxBRBvEiwAuM8dnX-GkFtZZxkoC0rRbWWenjdeizlEskbJwBUZr6n5oZfZWAU0gOI7lxoCJMkQAvD_BwE

[Doremus]

86. I have no interest in Bush lovers. None. Zero. Nada.

George Bush is the reason I joined DU. Now to come here and see people cheerleading for one of his supporters ... it sickens me. Literally.

I don't give an elephant's ass if he's seen the error of his ways. Putting trust in someone who so recently was a Bush bootlicker is beyond stupid, it exposes a fear that's unnecessary and frankly embarrassing. And before I'm lectured about how people change, no. This is George Bush, not somebody who inhaled when they were 18 or gave away SS 30 years ago. It's George Fucking Bush, Dick Fucking Cheney and Karl Fucking Rove.

[Aviation Pro]

97. Nothing happens

Without a 'D' in the White House. Nothing.

And everything will collapse into Fuckstickville if the bloated corpse is re-elected.

[Doremus]

130. Knee jerk nonsense

Your fear is palpable. Trouble is it’s not based on a shred of truth. Calm down and breathe.

[Aviation Pro]

135. Your naivete is pervasive

Last edited Wed Feb 5, 2020, 08:22 AM - Edit history (1)

See, I can play the lexicon game too.

[I_M_Blue_2]

125. So you prefer Trump?

None of our other candidates can beat him. Bloomberg can

[Doremus]

129. Utter nonsense. And a self fulfilling prophecy.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

136. BIIIIIINNGGOOOOO!! It's even BEYOND "beyond stupid"!!!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[Lexblues]

85. It's not 1940. TV, media, internet matters...

You have to have money to reach people. People have short attention spans nowadays. I don't need Bloomberg or Biden to knock on my door to make me vote for them.

[Squinch]

88. He seems to be the only one who understands that messaging is everything. And he seems to

be the only one who is any good at messaging.

[JudyM]

103. We don't focus enough on messaging, it's our greatest weakness!

[Doremus]

68. Bloomberg was a Bush lover not so long ago. When the wind blows the other way is he going to

jump ship yet again? I have zero confidence that he won't. I also have zero confidence that he will fight for people's issues in anything other than a half-hearted, incrementalist fashion ... as long as it aligns with his idea of what's good for us.

Nope, not going there.

[Aviation Pro]

72. For a third time, so what

The goal is to remove the shitbag. Bloomberg has the resources to do that.

[Doremus]

79. You have low goals. nt

[Aviation Pro]

99. I have a clear focus

And nothing happens if that bloated motherfucker is re-elected.

[DeterDeter]

78. Other than his money

I don’t get the media’s infatuation with him, I don’t get his candidacy, and I’ll never get his candidacy.

[JudyM]

105. Folks seem to be hoping for the knight in shining armor to save us...

[Croney]

80. Laugh at me if you will, but every time I see Judge Judy's commercial

for Bloomberg, I think he's got some kind of "it" factor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

82. Bloomberg knows exactly who the enemy is...

...and he is absolutely savaging Trump with his ads.

Other candidates would do well to learn from this.

[pamdb]

83. Bloomberg

Bloomberg is EXTREMELY anti marijuana. Ad a medical marijuana user, he will not get my (or my husbands) vote.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

87. Yeah, he attacks the threat head on by supporting George Bush versus Kerry.

Supporting Scott Brown versus Elizabeth Warren.




And as Democrats seek to win control of the U.S. Senate, it's notable how many Republican senators Bloomberg has backed in recent years:

Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey
Late-Arizona Sen. John McCain
Maine Sen. Susan Collins
Former Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk
Former Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, among others.

[Aviation Pro]

93. Number four, so what

When that orange-faced motherfucker switched that didn't stop the lickspittles and dullards from eventually supporting him. Yeah, yeah Never Fucking Trump and yet that did nothing to stop the obese shitbag from winning/stealing the presidency.

We need to go on a winning streak and Bloomberg is strong enough to get that fuckwit out of there.

[Cornell Engineer]

107. Democrats

ain't too good at picking candidates with general appeal. Only 1 outta their last 4 presidential nominees managed to win the general election...and they were running against 2 of the worst Gopper goons in history. We nominate Sanders and you can probably make that 1 outta 5.

The moderate liberals (Biden, Buttigieg & Klobuchar) got around 55% of the Iowa vote while the progressive liberals (Sanders & Warren) only got about 45%...albeit the numbers are still trickling in. If they can't get even half of the Democratic Party how the hell will they get half of the entire electorate? These numbers accurately reflect the fact that progressives don't even make up half of all Dems. And the last time I checked there weren't very many self-identified liberals/progressives who are registered as Independents (less than 25%, in fact). Math certainly doesn't seem to be my fellow progressives strong suit.

If we Democrats are actually stupid enough to shoot ourselves in the foot yet again I may have to eat a bullet because I'm not sure I can take another 4 years of Fuhrer Drumpf. Folks can bitch all they want about some of Bloomberg's choices and policies in the past but we'd all be a lot better off with him in the White House than Sanders out of it if that is the choice that it ultimately comes down to.

Who Will Win The 2020 Democratic Primary?

I'm just gonna sit back for a few months and see what happens. If 538 is anywhere close to being right (and they usually are) we may be looking at a brokered convention.

118. Wait!!! I thought only Joe could stop tRumpy the Clown!!!

At least that's what we've been told for a year!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

112. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

But but but but but Bernie... he's not a real Democrat, even though Bernie votes for Democrats, Bernie endorses Democrats, Bernie caucuses with Democrats, Bernie chairs Democratic committees, Bernie holds Democratic leadership positions, and
Bernie votes with Democrats more than most Democrats.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

91. I am not willing to

jump on the bandwagon, does he relate to other ethnicities and races and women? Does he relate to the non-existent Middle class?

We need someone who understands all aspects of diplomacy and foreign policy.


I think he would more help pumping his money into a commercial frenzy against tRump.

94. As if that....

….fucking, bloated fatass knew anything about diplomacy and foreign policy. At least Bloomberg has a worldwide reach through his business and network as opposed to the boutique 'bidness' of the fucking walking embodiment of smegma.

104. As Bernie rose in the last weeks, so did Trump in the polls. We'll have

to see if it is correlated in the months to come. I hope dems are doing regression analysis on things like this.

109. Regression Analysis?

We can't even count a handful of farmers standing in different parts of a gym.

126. Cannot vote for another old white billionaire

That is all.

137. What if he becomes the Democratic nominee?

Then what? Stay home or vote third-party? We cannot afford that this year from anybody.

[Aviation Pro]

138. Committed

1. Bloomberg
2. Buttigieg
3. Biden
4. Warren
5. Sanders

If Bloomberg becomes the nominee all of my donations will go to Senate candidates. I'll split the donations if any of the other contenders becomes the nominee.

Also, I've joined Bloomberg's volunteer effort. Time to shove a figurative stick up the collective colons of the obese fuckturd's supporters.

142. I'll be honest. I dont want to like Bloomberg but his attack on Trump

Has caught my attention. It's undiluted. And I get it's undiluted bc he stayed out of the fray until now. But he sure is making a splash I can't ignore.
