It is unfortunate that being a woman or gay is such a handicap. I would add having color, but we broke that ceiling once (hopefully will again)--I certainly wish it wasn't still such an issue, but then it is seeming as though the Civil War is in round 2.
Being old and white is not the best scenario, but Bloomberg has a couple of serious advantages to make him a strong contender: as you stated he "can buy and sell them" and he was a successful mayor of a major American city and is his own man. I think he wants to stomp out the vileness that has infested our nation for the last three years and return us to pre-Trump as his final legacy. He deserves our help and we are lucky to have him.
