Sanders sending the dogs after Mike

[evertonfc]

Already a deluge of anti Mike propaganda. Sanders surrogates are ruthless. big-time. Maybe it's time for Mike to defend himself and define Sanders via a few months of 24/7, round the clock ads talking about how Bernies Democratic socialist agenda can't win in middle America. Maybe a cool 500 million ad buy? What do you think? His team produces some good ads.

2. I would hope Bloomberg wouldn't attack him. He might be our nominee.

3. Mike knows who the real enemy is.

Too bad some of the other candidates don't.

4. Talking Points. They're Out There!

Yup. Lots of them today.

But, Mike Bloomberg doesn't attack other Democratic candidates. He never does. He goes after Trump, instead. Novel, huh?

5. I don't want to see Dems attacking Dems

and I wish it would all stop. None can afford to be damaged. Someone has to go to the GE.

6. I am torn over the whole thing. Yes Dems attacking Dems can aid the enemy.

And our number one priority must be winning in November. But do we really want Bloomberg when we can do so much better than that? If you don't think that Bernie can win in November, a view that I do not share BTW, that may be legitimate. But what's wrong with Joe Biden or Amy Klobuchar or Mayor Pete? Is a billionaire former Republican oligarch the best we can do?

13. I don't know

I'm waiting to see. Right now, he looks like he has the best shot to me. I have an LGBT kid. I need the SCOTUS to support LGBT rights. I've got my own reasons to be pragmatic, and lots of people are 100% pragmatic this election for their own reasons. I'm also horrified beyond belief by what's happening at the southern border. Anybody who is going to suffer more from Trump is going to be mainly anti-Trump and mainly support whoever can beat Trump. I'm not a fan of Bloomberg, but if he is most likely to beat Trump, he'll get my vote in the primary. (Although I'm in Michigan and it'll be closer to being decided by then.)

My favorite personally is probably Elizabeth Warren although I like all the ones you said better than Bloomberg. I like Bernie, and I voted for him in the primary in 2016. This election, I only care about beating Trump. Bloomberg appears to seriously know how to do that. Many of the rest go on and on about things that either won't help them or will actively hurt them in the general election. I'll take Bloomberg not as a favorite as someone who will not keep causing so much harm.

7. As soon as Bloomberg started making inroads against Trump

Curiouser and curiouser.

9. I'm not a Sanders supporter and Bloomberg can get lost.

10. I am so tired of Sanders and his surrogates.

They remind me of a kid who throws the game board across the room because he cant win.

11. Dems Should Stop Attacking Other Dems

We are doing harm to ourselves and the Party. Stop doing Trump's work! I know that Bloomberg is basically Republican Light, and Bernie is an Independent Socialist and not a lifelong Dem. But we need to stop attacking them and all our candidates. Any one of them might end up being the nominee. We need to defeat Trump, and that means supporting whoever gets the Democratic nomination. These attacks need to stop and we need to unify against Trump, whoever our candidate ends up being.

[highplainsdem]

12. Yes. Makes you wonder what they'll do to any other Democratic candidate they perceive as a threat

to Sanders winning the nomination. (Not that they haven't done it already, with all the attacks on Warren and calling her a snake, and getting #MayorCheat trending, and all the rest of the childish garbage.)

And you're right that Bloomberg has the ability to fight back with ads Bernie's people wouldn't like.

But Bloomberg is trying to help the Democratic Party against Trump. Not trying to take down other Democrats.

14. Purity is a favorite weapon that Republicans use against Democrats.
