Just FYI about Mike Bloomberg

[MineralMan]

What does he stand for? What are his plans? Well, you can find out for yourself:

He has a website, just like all candidates do. You can get many of your question answered there.

1. His health coverage plan seems anemic.

Any details? Cost estimates? You know, all that stuff people demanded Warren provide?

2. I think you're forgetting that Bloomberg is a male candidate (nt)

4. Here's the deal, I think

I was for Warren before she ran (Run Liz Run in 2015). My daughter organized for her this year before the Iowa caucuses. I pledged to caucus for her, but ultimately did not. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat, though!

What happened? In a nutshell, I felt that she painted herself into a corner precisely BECAUSE of the degree of wonkish detail that she expressed in debates and policy briefs. It's not that her ideas were toxic; far from it! The problem for me was that in a fast-paced primary environment in which sound bytes and flash polling informs public opinion, she left herself little room to maneuver.

As I grew lukewarm I had this conversation with other supporters. I would have much rather seen her generate interest and excitement through appeals to broad, unifying principles. I respect her "transparency," but it seems to have had an adverse impact.

6. It looks a lot like Biden's, Klobuchar's and Mayor Pete's plan.

Establish a public option, expand subsidies, lower drug costs and improve care in rural areas.

8. Does it? You know what is anemic?

Trump's plan for health care. He's been working his ass off trying to take it all away. Bloomberg wants to restore and expand the ACA and add a public option. I can go for that.

7. What he has actually done historically tells us much more about him than plans drawn up to

attract votes. And what he has done should be abhorrent to all Dems and yes, frightening.

9. It can't be too abhorrent if you'll vote for him in the fall if he's the nominee.

10. MB stood for the opposite of most of this for the last 20 years now we're supposed to believe he's

... changed his heart and doesn't want sound like a racist republican any longer?

He's the worst of what we got so far
