I agree with him, none of the current candidates will be able to beat trump, at least not on their own. Im hoping if Bloomberg doesnt get the nomination, hell help the nominee. He can spend billions on purchasing airtime and facebook completely shutting off trumps and russian disinformation.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
