was stop and frisk...and he has repented of this...He is right on many issues that I care about. He is also honest...he said he didn't think we could afford a middle class tax cut and that we need to get rid of Trump's tax cut...that is true.

to congress. Considering the problems we have right now, I would say that he has been part of the problem, not the solution.

13. I prefer Biden...but Bloomberg did give a great deal of money for the effort to retake the House in

And he can beat Trump if somehow Biden isn't the nominee which I don't think will happen...Buttigieg beating Sanders was the next best thing to Joe winning Iowa.

16. I agree

but I have to wonder how many republican senators and congressional representatives are there because of Bloomberg's money. That's what I mean about being part of the problem.

Now that you mention it, Buttigieg beating Sanders WAS the next best thing to Joe winning Iowa!

I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. Biden, Bloomberg, Bennett, Booker, and Buttigieg.

6. I am beginning to think that way also.

Bloomberg made a good decision to skip Iowa. He will be in the New Hampshire debate. I expect Bernie to really go after him, but if Bloomberg blunt the attack, it could be over for the others. I believe that Sanders and Buttegieg are extremely weak in the South, if Bloomberg does decently on Super Tuesday, that launches him to the nomination, IMO.

8. Bloomberg looks like a keen strategist.

I believe he will be expecting Sanders and Warren to go after him and will have a response. The wildcard will be if Steyer joins in on an attack.
