One potential positive to a Bloomberg candidacy is

donations. I've got a max donation sitting here waiting for our nominee (while making smaller contributions during the primaries). And no, I'm not wealthy but my wife and i have decided we're going to stretch financially to do whatever we can to defeat that rotten bastard in the white house. If Bloomberg is the nominee, I'll likely divide that contribution among several Senate candidates, and i imagine the same would be true of all democratic donors, large and small, nationwide. Think of the dollars available to the DNC, DCCC, DSCC, and individual candidates!
Let me also say that i hate writing that paragraph, but we must accept for now that that's the world we live in. And i don't support the mayor now, but would in a general election of course. Just an interesting thought.

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

who was hoping that Bloomberg would open up his campaign to donations. While Bloomberg is not my choice, I would vote for him in the general if the nominee and frankly the thought of him self financing is a rather interesting prospect. Anything that gets The "Esteemed" Mr Trump moved out of the White House is much better than the alternative.
