Bernie or Bloomberg...hmmmmm If Biden is not the candidate who will I choose??

Someone actually asked me that.

All I could say, was" let me get back to you on that"

First of all.. There is not only Biden, but Buttigieg, Warren and Klobuchar.

I will give them credit, Bloomberg will probably go the convention. He has the money to stay in there.

But Sheesh

Seriously talk to me about this after Super Tuesday. I think some people are in for a rude awakening...

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

I'd go with Bloomberg without hesitation. Not that I'm crazy about him but I think he can win.

hesitate and go with Bloomberg. We could use stability and I think he could be trusted to bring good people on board. I can't picture a Sanders administration.

They're making projections that don't seem to make sense. I'm certain that they have their reasons, but projecting that a near-tie in Iowa is going to result in a mad dash for Bernie in a couple dozen states seems a little questionable.

As you noted, Super Tuesday is going to be a key date in the process. It's going to be very interesting to see if the prior predictions hold true and Biden takes the lead or if Buttigieg gains momentum from Iowa and somehow makes gains with minority voters in places like SC or if their magic eight-ball predictions come true and Sanders wins states where it looked like he'd have no chance. Or does Bloomberg's momentum continue?

I have no idea what's going on.

Easy.

I'm a liberal. I favor progressive policy. But if it's just a choice between those two, there's no contest.

If it is between three Old Male White New Yorkers I will pick the one that isn't always angry, Bloomberg.
