He must be removed.

If Bloomberg wins the nomination and turns out to be as bad as Trump, then we can remove him as well.

But there is no alternative to removing Trump from office at this point -- NONE. Trying to compare any of our candidates to Trump only serves to depress Democratic turnout and make a Trump reelection more likely. Stop it.

What a privileged world someone must live in to think that some hypothetical Bloomberg presidency is more of a pressing issue than removing the traitorous criminal currently occupying the White House.

TRUMP MUST GO. PERIOD.

It's safe to say that you'll never, ever consider voting for Trump but knowing how bad Trump is, you'll vote for Bloomberg if he's the nominee or any of our other candidates if they win the nomination.

and its only 1/4 as old as Bloomberg company.

I know outrage is par for the course...but does anyone actually know what is the average number of lawsuits by employees against large corporation?

I looked and couldn't find it
I will say that I personally witnessed two in a <500 unit of a large bank.

I think he hates Trump as much as we do, and is willing to spend money to goad him.

I will happily allow him to run until convention.

I do wish he was running as an independent- but I’ll take the battle of two crooked billionaires. Especially if it drives the Traitor Tot nuts.
