Has anyone here seen any recent video in which Bloomberg gives an actual speech to real voters?

[hedda_foil]

How about a town hall with real voters? A decent length televised interview? A Q&A with a real audience of voters? A voter meet and greet? Anything?

1. Maybe he

doesn't like people.

[LeftTurn3623]

2. This is why I was happy they are adding him to the debates

I want to see how he handles himself.

3. I've seen some, but they weren't in states where the media is swarming yet. Probably in a week....

...we'll be seeing more after Super Tuesday gets nearer.

4. Bloomberg would be devestating

If Biden is fading and you can't stand Bernie then there are strong viable options inside.

Liz, Amy, Pete, all of them are strong moderates who could easily crush Trump.

Hillary is even viable.

No one should be talking about Bloomburg at all and for me personally its very disturbing that anyone would even propose it, its like saying theres something defective in our internal people that we can only win with a Republican. That would be such a turn-off to many.

7. Hillary is not viable, let's not even start that again.

[cherryinpa]

8. Ok

But Hillary is still far more viable than Bloomberg.

I can still see over 80% of Bernie supporters backing Clinton to get Trump out, albeit reluctantly.

But Bloomberg? Not even close, a billionaire Republican will alienate many from the Democratic party.

10. I can't agree with you

Liz, Amy and Pete just can't win in the general election. Amy would have the best cgance, but I don't think she'll be strong enough to hold on till the convention. In my humble opinion Joe and Mike are the only two who can beat trump. If you don't like Mike, stand him up with trump. Now who would you choose?
Mike may not be the perfect democrat, but he might be the perfect opponent to run against trump. Beating trump is the only thing that matters at this point.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

11. Right there wih you on Biden

Joe is the best bet to destroy Trump.

But think about this ... the Bernie bro's are mostly a lot of noise and fury, they make a lot of fuss, but in reality they would, in the main, fall right behind Joe.

Now say Joe drops out, and Bernies ahead ... but then due to some magic Bloomberg rides in.

How are they going to respond then to a Billionairre taking the reigns.

Alternatively, Pete / Warren especially could still get the huge backing of Bernie supporters if they play it right.

Amy? Probably. Hillary, yes still would.

But Bloomberg ... definitely not, sorry I just dont see it realistic.

16. We all have our own honest opinions

Please know that I respect yours. We'll both be waiting to see how it all shakes out.

[Mike 03]

13. This is how I'm seeing things for now.

My assumption as of now is that Joe Biden will be our frontrunner.

Mike Bloomberg has societal and psychological advantages over Trump that I believe could overwhelm Trump completely.

Momentum could carry other candidates forward, but I'm not seeing that yet.

19. Welcome to DU

[denem]

5. Here

I've seen a rally somewhere, too.

Mike is about as exciting as a dead towel. On point, no gaffes, but boring.

[hedda_foil]

17. Thanks!!

6. it may be part of campaign strategy, which isn't a bad idea.

[Mike 03]

9. He's got some events coming up in Oklahoma and here's a link

to an event he did at the end of January from C-Span.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?468735-1/washington-dc-mayor-endorses-mike-bloomberg-president

I'll be looking out for these types of videos.

Most of what I'm seeing are short news pieces about events he has done, for example some in California, etc...

And this is an event about Affordable Housing, also from C-Span.

12. He needs the same vetting as everyone else

The DNC needs to have him in the debates - otherwise the playing field is not equal.

[patricia92243]

15. He says that he is willing. It is the DNC that won't let

him. Some people seem to think it is his fault and he refuses to debate - not the case.

[Doremus]

18. They changed the rules to allow him in. Why aren't we interested in vetting the others who

didn't qualify?

The playing field isn't equal when one candidate is buying his way in.

[patricia92243]

14. He has been all over Facebook with video of him in rallies, restaurants,

kissing babies, the usual stuff. He has been on all the talk shows at least once that I have seen. He has taken questions from people but it wouldn't be a town hall I don't think.
