Bloomberg/Klobuchar

[EveHammond13]

the money and organization for the infrastructure, the digital space savvy, the great ads and the proven willingness to slap trump down in public, plus a proven winner in the critical midwest

[apcalc]

1. Damn good idea!

[Wabbajack_]

3. Amy probably thinks her being the Presidential nominee is better deal

[Kota]

17. Amy should be at the top of the ticket.

[calguy]

19. I don't think Amy has the cash or the organization

to go all the way. NH may prove to be her high watermark. We'll have to wait and see how she does in the next debate that will include Bloomberg.
Currently I see Bloomberg/Klobachar the strongest ticket we can go with.

[Ohiogal]

2. I could live with it.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. That's a high probability

Amy is a strong VP possibility. Only a handful of governors, Senators, candidates are competitors. A handful.

[customerserviceguy]

5. Nope

No Bloomie, no way. He will lose badly to Trump, who has been studying how to push Mike's buttons as well as Bloomie thinks he can get under Trump's skin.

If some comic book writer came up with an storyline where one NYC billionaire fights another NYC billionaire, the editor would throw the writer out on his butt.

Amy's good enough to be something other than Bloomie's errand girl.

[dem4decades]

7. No Bloomie, No way? Even if he's the nominee?

[customerserviceguy]

31. In my case, it's not going to matter

this state is voting for Trump. I doubt that we'll win with Bloomberg. The Bernie supporters will go ballistic if Bloomie is able to buy the nomination.

[NedBraden]

43. from NYC and I

......already SUFFERED UNDER Bloomies tyranny.


I'm a NEVER Bloomie!



And the disgusting misogyny here the last few days, where Amy has to be Bloomberg s second fiddle....gift outta here with dat

[Saviolo]

8. +1000

I don't understand how anyone can seriously consider Bloomberg.

[Bettie]

41. He's a super rich old white man

of course the media loves that, so they push it and people take the bait.

Those rich old white men haven't really had a shot, so we need to give them one! Give the bros a chance to lead, they've been shut out of everything!

[EveHammond13]

9. trump and the GOP will destroy Bernie.

[Bradical79]

12. Not sure how a racist Republican billionaire helps our chances...

We've already got one as President.

[tiredtoo]

16. Amen EOM

[Act_of_Reparation]

21. Because moderates love them some authoritarianism.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/centrists-democracy.html

Respondents who put themselves at the center of the political spectrum are the least supportive of democracy, according to several survey measures. These include views of democracy as the “best political system,” and a more general rating of democratic politics. In both, those in the center have the most critical views of democracy.

[customerserviceguy]

32. It would be one thing

for the Democratic Party to repudiate Sanders and Warren by nominating Biden, Buttigieg, or Klobuchar, but it would be a real poke in the eye with a sharp stick to progressives if we nominate one of the richest people in America to the job, it would say that we're no better than the MAGAts who worship Trump's money.

Faced with the choice of four more years of Trump and eight possible years of Bloomberg, they will have a choice to make. AOC would be Constitutionally eligible to run for President in 2024, and it's easier to get a change in the party that holds the WH after eight years instead of four.

[squirecam]

35. I'd rather have Bloomberg and a large tent

Then AOC who doesn’t have room for a party that has Biden in it.

[customerserviceguy]

44. Don't get me wrong

I'm no AOC fan, and am especially not fond of the idea of her being nominated to the Presidency at the minimum age. I'm just trying to analyze how some extremely disgruntled progressives might game this election if Bloomie buys the nomination.

[squirecam]

45. Bloomberg isn't actually buying the nomination though.

No one is forcing Dems to vote for him. And he is not paying anyone $ for their vote.

Sure, he has the $ to saturate the airwaves. But he isn’t “buying” votes.

[customerserviceguy]

47. I doubt

that all Democratic voters feel that way. I lived very near NYC from 2007 to 2017, I've seen the way Bloomberg manages to get his way, even when the rules of the game are against him. After Sens. Booker, Harris, and Bennet were essentially cleared out of the way, the DNC changed its debate rules to roll out the red carpet for Bloomie.

I still think that if we really want a billionaire, we have one who's managed to get into the debates by the old rules, and who has never supported Republicon causes and officeholders.

[Mme. Defarge]

6. Hold that thought!

[EveHammond13]

10. if we can't have Joe as nominee (my previous first choice) then Secretary of State

[Mme. Defarge]

14. Mais naturellement!

With Harris as AG.

[Bradical79]

11. I'd vomit -nt

[HarlanPepper]

13. Too white.

Need at least one POC on the ticket. Especially if Bloomberg is the nominee.

[tiredtoo]

15. Bloomberg is a republican

He is just one step ahead of (DINO) Tulsi Gabbard in my book. But, like i have stated here many times. Vote Blue no matter who.

[ALBliberal]

18. I think this would be a winning team

[democrattotheend]

20. Ugh, no

I really don't want Bloomberg to be the nominee, and if he is the nominee, I think he should pick a person of color (preferably also a woman) as his VP, so the ticket is at least somewhat reflective of who we are as a party. Also, if progressives are going to have to suck it up and vote for a Bush-endorsing Republican as our nominee, he could at least throw a bone to them with his VP pick.

I like Amy a lot but I don't want to have an all-white ticket, and I think the ticket should be a balance of the moderate and liberal wings of the party.

[Awsi Dooger]

23. The ticket would be reflective that we didn't have an ideal nominee in 2020

Nothing close to an ideal nominee.

So it makes sense to be bold and patch something together.

This is the ticket I prefer. I would never regret it despite any outcome. You have to be loyal to your instincts and handicapping ability at the time, and not anguish over variables that became obvious only after the fact.

I've lost thousands of sports wagers that I would make again.

[Green Line]

22. I'd be happy to vote for that ticket

[wyldwolf]

24. ever notice how some dream tickets aren't strategically thought out?

[denem]

25. Dreams are not products of strategic thought.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. That's a winner.

Thumbs up.

[Nikki28]

27. sounds like

a winner to me. I would be happy to cast that vote with a smile on my face and pride in my corner.

[earthside]

28. A Republican Billionaire is not the answer.

I understand the appeal of a white knight to ride in with unlimited money to take down Trump.

But as it has been written ... "what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?”

The Democratic Party will be finished if it succumbs to the 78 year old Bloomberg.

Two giant hypocrisies come with Bloomberg:
1) the party against Citizens United following a free-spending billionaire;
2) those who are so exercised about Sanders not always being a Democrat (but he was never a Republican!) nominating a genuine 'former' Republican.

Klobuchar-Booker sounds much, much better to me.

[LanternWaste]

29. I tend to agree. We've spent too long gazing into the abyss.

Bloomberg seems the result of doing so.

[MarcA]

46. Klobuchar-Booker sounds much better to me too,

even though Warren is still my first choice. I don't mind Bloomberg using his money
to tell the truth about drumph and sending money to Democratic Candidates for
President, Senate, House and even State Elections.

[RelativelyJones]

30. Zero enthusiasm for Bloomberg

There is a lot i disagree with when it comes to Sanders supporters, but we are on the same page concerning Bloomberg.

[rwheeler31]

33. This may be a good idea. We need a strong manager to restore

all the agencies they have destroyed. Amy is great on policy but needs resources, it could work.

[LeftTurn3623]

34. no thank you

Stacey Abrams should be the top pick for whoever gets the nomination.

[Nanjeanne]

36. Bloomberg as the face of the Democratic Party would sadden my heart.

[squirecam]

37. If the final three are

Sanders Bloomberg and Amy....

Then both Bloomberg supporters, who hate Sanders, and Sanders supporters, who hate any billionaire, should compromise and vote for Amy.

Problem solved.

[Devil Child]

38. Klobuchar yes! Bloomberg, no.

[cwydro]

39. Funny any time anyone puts a woman in one of these mixes - she's always number 2.

Fascinating.

[Maven]

40. LOL. A guaranteed recipe to sap enthusiasm from the base on voting day.

Not to mention you'll be handing the greens and their russiapublican sponsors a narrative to bait the left wing of the party on a silver f*cking platter.

No.

[MFM008]

42. Im reserving judgement

on Bloomberg until I see him in action in a debate.
He cant just buy my vote.

[jcgoldie]

48. Yes to Klobuchar

No way to Mayor stop n frisk.
