Open question to Bloomberg who will do whatever it takes to defeat Trump

Mike

You're taking valuable support away from moderates like Biden and Klobuchar who have the pedigree to beat Trump. Your entry into the races has particularly hit Joe's numbers hard.

But reality is that your Billionairre status is anthemic to the left and your racial legacy is repulsive.

It seems to me that the best thing you can do is drop-out RIGHT NOW and bring your entire financial resources to support Biden.

Backing Biden guarantee's we defeat Trump, we all know it, you know it.

Anything else is taking us to a dangerous place.

So now why not prove that you stand by your statement, give-up your personal ambition and back Biden tonight.

I'll let African American voters decide what his racial legacy is; right now he appears to have the second largest share of AA support. As for the left, income envy never sells well; if you have specific complaints about what he's done with his money, lay them out.

The two are not in any conflict with each other. I'm tired of that ridiculous statement. That is and will always be a losing strategy.

Biden and Bloomberg have the best chance to beat Trump. I am only concerned with who can beat Trump and that will be what decides my vote.

Tell that to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, both Democrats, who have donated tens of billions to charities and pledged to donate the vast majority of their fortunes.

Blanket statements are rarely accurate.
