Can We Get a DU Forum "Bloomberg for Vice President in 2020"?

[McCamy Taylor]

Everyone I have floated the idea to loves it! Trump will no longer have the financial advantage that comes from selling favors to Saudi Arabia and having the head of the Russian mob as his sugar daddy. This will finally give us parity in a Citizens United World. And after Democrats sweep the White House and both Houses of Congress, the first thing they will do is pass campaign finance reform designed to keep foreign money out US elections. Then, once his job is done, Bloomberg can retire and Biden/Warren/Yellow Dog can select a younger Democrat to run in 8 years.

[blm]

[demmiblue]

3. No thank you. n/t

[Horizens]

4. NO

[Doremus]

5. :puke:

how anyone could actually want to vote for that arrogant pos trump in Dem clothing is beyond me.

[handmade34]

6. not a fan

[Jirel]

7. So, like 3 people?

Hmmm... will it be crickets on such a forum, or the last 4 Bloomberg fans on DU cheering in an echo chamber?

[BKDem]

8. No. And he's too arrogant to take the job.

[totodeinhere]

10. Have you asked the females who signed NDAs if they love it?

My guess would be no.

[Hoyt]

15. If they want to speak up now, they should follow Stormy Daniels lead.

Although, they should get a decent attorney.

[Bradshaw3]

21. How about Bloomberg just releases them?

That way they wouldn't have to get an attorney. But yeah put it on the women instead of the billionaire. No wonder you like Bloomberg; you think just like him.

[Hoyt]

24. Just speak up. Get an attorney and tell their story, not for NDA,

but all the publicity and earnings. If they don’t want to be identified, the attorney can ensure that.

[sarisataka]

11. What makes you think he would want the job

I don't think he enjoys being on the second step

One way or another he wants to call the shots. Either as the man in charge or the man the person in charge owes a billion favors

[Bleacher Creature]

13. Vice President of his local Toastmasters? I second that nomination!!

[Fresh_Start]

14. why not Bloomberg as daddy's wallet in 2020

I didn't have a daddy...but I'm assuming that if there was a daddy...daddy's wallet would be more forthcoming than mommy's wallet

[Hoyt]

16. I hope he continues to produce effective ads against trump. If not,

we lost last night.

18. Ew.

[zackymilly]

19. No. Looks like Warren beat him down from president to vice-president hopeful last night. nt

[Dagstead Bumwood]

20. He came off as

smarmy, entitled and completely tone-deaf. I'd be a hard pass on this guy for dog catcher.

[Tarc]

22. To quote Weird Al, I'd rather rip my intestines with a fork

[Devil Child]

23. Respectfully, no. N/T

[Garrett78]

25. I take it you've read nothing about Bloomberg and didn't watch or hear about last night's debate.

[GanjaGrower]

26. I'd prefer him as president

But if that doesn’t happen then he absolutely should be a top choice for VP

[doc03]

27. No don't need one of those nt

[Merlot]

28. I thought it was a good idea, then I saw the debate...

and the video of him talking about redlining. And the other video talking about racial profiling.

He's horrible.

If he wants to put all his money to defeating trumpft without being the candidate, he might redeem himself. Until then, he's just a horrible person.

ps. I also think he started the gun safety advocacy group because he thought it would give him credit with democrats, and all along he was planning to run for president.

[ForEverGlades]

29. After his debate performance

there's one bit of speculation that makes the most sense to me.
It's not that his aides/handlers didn't prep him.
It's that he was just too arrogant to listen to them.
They did their best, but he knew best and thought because he's who he is he could just wing it and everyone would love him.
A guy like this would never accept a VP nomination, even if the party wanted him.
And the chances of that after last night are slim to none.
No thanks.

30. Yuck, NO nt
