1. Wait a minute

Bloomberg is still running??

[left-of-center2012]

2. Yep

Super Tuesday is next week.

We'll see who's laughing Wednesday morning.

[AmericanGraffiti]

6. It won't be the Bloomberg campaign!

Bloomberg has been finished since his first debate.

A Republican as the Democratic nominee? C'mon on man!

[msongs]

8. ummm vs an indpendent as the democratic nominee? C'mon man indeed nt

[AmericanGraffiti]

12. I'll take the Independent over the Republican.

Thanks

9. Remember, Warren too was a Republican

Sanders a "Socialist".

Democrats have a 'big tent'.

[AmericanGraffiti]

11. When did Warren run for elective office as a Republican??

Yeah.

[left-of-center2012]

14. Who said she did?

[AmericanGraffiti]

16. No one

Which makes the point.

[left-of-center2012]

18. What point?

[AmericanGraffiti]

19. What I originally posted.

[2naSalit]

3. Yeah, I don't recall any other candidate

running for anything in this country, at least in my lifetime, who changed a term limit law so he could run for a third term when two was the limit. I guess money really does buy anything.

And I don't think anyone else has that experience.

[left-of-center2012]

5. "money really does buy anything"

That's why other candidates have super pacs.

Mike funds his own campaign, the other candidates use $$ from some one else.

[2naSalit]

10. At least the rest

are out earning their votes the way they should be and even with PACs, it shows that someone other than they themselves support them and their ideas. See how that works?

We don't need another billionaire or "businessman" as president, they always fuck things up and make tons of money while the rest of us suffer. I would much rather have someone who can relate to actual humans.

13. I have been to 2 Bloomberg rallies.

He has been to Tennessee 4 times. How many times has Bernie or WE been here.

[2naSalit]

20. Well, I bet NONE of them

will come to my state for my vote. I don't care how many rallies he holds, does he stand there and actually talk to people during and afterward or does he stand at the podium, talk AT everyone and then leave? I haven't seen selfies or him with real people outside his ads... He doesn't like the commonfolk, we're just peons to him.

[lynintenn]

21. He came out into the crowd for almost an hour.

I could not get close enough for a self but lots were taking pictures. He gave a good speech to about 300 people.

[2naSalit]

23. I have to admit

there is nothing he could do or say that would win my vote over any of the real Democratic candidates... not counting Steyer, not interested in him either.

[left-of-center2012]

15. Thanks for the chuckle

[zackymilly]

22. Mike funds his own campaign because no one would give him any money if he didn't. n/t

[2naSalit]

24. +1

[mahina]

28. Undecided?

[Buzz cook]

4. Business men tend to be crappy politicians

Bloomberg was not a crappy mayor, but close to one. The chances are that given time and power the crap would rise to the top.

[left-of-center2012]

7. Let's see who's left standing after Super Tuesday

[mahina]

27. Maybe you are decided!

[Lordquinton]

31. It really depends who you ask

If you ask the millions of stop and frisk victims, you'll get a different answer.

[Dem4Life1102]

17. Yes he does have great experience

being a Republican, supporting Bush, illegally detaining protesters, profiling people of color, having women sign NDAs, contributing to GOP candidates and subverting the law to hold on to power.

[JudyM]

25. Beat me to it.

[Shermann]

30. NY is not DC

He can't claim to have more Washington DC experience than any of the other candidates except maybe Pete.

[Dem4Life1102]

32. Did you read my post?

[Shermann]

33. I did

Really I was responding to the OP. Your post was a bit harsh.

Also you forgot to mention stopping people on the street and confiscating their Big Gulps.

[Dem4Life1102]

34. Sometimes the truth is harsh

[mahina]

26. Nope

Not for a moment

[Moderateguy]

29. The hypocrisy about Bloomberg

Is amazing. You are a republican corporatist, you’re a bad man and don’t deserve our nomination but please use your money to help us defeat Trump
