5. WE HAVE ONE JOB THIS ELECTION. ONLY ONE. GET FILTHY DONNY THE HELL OUT.

Bloomberg can win. Steyer likely couldn't. I say that because Bloomberg has been campaigning for weeks and has managed to get momentum. Steyer has been campaigning for months, and before that he did his ads, and he has never gotten much of a following.

I really hate a lot of things Bloomberg has done. On a personal level, he shit all over my union and my paycheck directly. And stop and frisk was disgusting.

I also really like a lot of things Bloomberg has done. Climate change is the most important issue to me because if we don't address it all the others are moot. Bloomberg is excellent on climate change. Also, he is one of the few doing anything on gun control.

He's not my favorite guy. I like Liz best. But I think he is the one who could win most handily. He's very smart in how he is campaigning. He has unlimited money. He understands, in a way that the rest of the Democratic Party just doesn't, that we suck at messaging and messaging is everything.

In this election, all I care about is winning. I think I'm leaning toward supporting Bloomberg.

Damn. I can't believe I said that.

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