Biden/Bloomberg 2020! My dream.

I have this dream. In my dream, Biden does not have to raise money, because his VP will have all the money they ever need. In this dream, Bloomberg, who originally chose not to run out of respect for Biden---has now chosen to run out of respect for Biden. In my dream, Joe and Mike will be cordial tonight. Their attacks will all be leveled at Trump. In my dream , Biden will hit the campaign trail after the convention full of hope and optimism while Mike's job will be to get low down and dirty. In my dream, Obama's supporters turn out to vote for their favorite candidate's VP, while Republicans who are secretly horrified by the mafioso in the White House will cross over to vote for the non-criminal rich man. After the election, Mike can resign and go back to be rich and Joe can pick a successor.

Yes, it is a long shot. But it would work.

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

A 78-year-old would not and should not choose another 78-year-old as his running mate.
