6. While I hope he does, there's a part of me that wants him & us to stick it to the GOP.

"You show me yours and I'll show you mine."

You make your billionaire show his tax returns first, then we'll make ours show his. Oh and that emoluments clause? You didn't make your billionaire keep from making profit while he held office, so all bets are off now, you putrid ass-sucking fucks.

8. I think he would hire a different kind of person than 45.

Great business people, hire people who are smarter than they are to run the things they lack experience in. That is why Trump has not been successful and Bloomberg has. We have to remember FDR was VERY rich, but he still had the ability to lead the country and the world. He hired skilled diplomats and secretaries.

Trump is a very bad business man who needs yes people around him every moment, no wonder he has gone bankrupt numerous times.

9. Probably not as much, and definitely not as quickly, as Biden could. But except for Biden,

Bloomberg would probably do as well as the other Democratic candidates in this regard.

11. This poll will end up in his favor, becuase he is mainstream in his approach to foreign relations

It is one of the aspects of his candidacy that would be strong. There are many other aspects, such as crime/race relations where it is not.

The guy has more sexual assault allegations than Trump and helped put Bush in office so we could spend trillions on useless wars.

it doesn't expand on that and published claims that none of the NDA's that many women signed included assault, only harassment. Mea culpa.
