Let him run that campaign. xmas74 Feb 2020 #69

He is a surer bet to beat Trump than Bernie is I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #100

That's the key to Bloomberg - aside from his own campaign, he's giving MILLIONS to candidates... George II Feb 2020 #2

He also liked to fund Republicans, too. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #54

But he has stated he will donate xmas74 Feb 2020 #73

Not just FUND Rethugz; he's endorsed The Shrub &is Rudy's buddy! But hes a REAL Democrat, not Bernie InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #111

Bloomberg understands that to win, the election has to be a referendum on Trump scheming daemons Feb 2020 #3

Biden started out that way as well NewJeffCT Feb 2020 #32

Steyer was doing that before Bloom. But he had to start campaigning to make the stage. Autumn Feb 2020 #5

Bloomberg does not need the debates to get TV exposure I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #106

I'm seriously considering switching from Joe to Mike. Zolorp Feb 2020 #6

Me too. I will wait to see how Biden does but I want someone that will punch back at Trump helpisontheway Feb 2020 #11

He would need a Dem Senate after he wins, so yeah, lots of money to flip the Senate. Zolorp Feb 2020 #14

Yep... Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #16

He is on my short list in the Florida primary if he does good coming into my state primary. Blue_true Feb 2020 #24

He's been living rent free in Trump's head ever since he announced. Zolorp Feb 2020 #31

And I bet that if he is the nominee, he would seek out input from Blue_true Feb 2020 #57

Bloomberg is on your "short list"?!?!?! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #113

My wife is all in for Bloomberg, i'm still keeping my powder dry for the best chance to beat the dem4decades Feb 2020 #84

Putting Bloomberg in charge is like putting the arsonist in the fire brigade liskddksil Feb 2020 #9

Again, so what Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #12

What makes a person a Democrat? sarisataka Feb 2020 #49

Bloomberg because he really is self-financing Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #50

Yes, I would have to put Bloomberg pretty far down on my list. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #18

I see who are for bdamomma Feb 2020 #127

If he can explain why he endorsed those people, I am ok with that. Blue_true Feb 2020 #27

Yes, but Bernie is the biggest threat to our Democratic way of life... yeah riiiight!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #115

Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #121

Nope, it makes Bernie a Man of the People... I'll take Democratic Socialism in the mold of FDR InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #123

I like Bernie, but he cannot win I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #134

So you like Trump instead? I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #119

That all you got? I'm an actual Democrat unlike Mike the Republican donor nt liskddksil Feb 2020 #128

He can beat Trump, that is all I care about I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #131

No he can't. African Americans will stay home. nt liskddksil Feb 2020 #132

So you think they want Trump, I think not. I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #133

I'm starting to pay attention to him, too. I like Pete and Joe but may jump. Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #15

I just think there is something unseemly about a multi billionaire trying to buy the totodeinhere Feb 2020 #17

Nothing stops anyone Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #20

We are opposing Filthy Donnie. We really need to get over our fears of the Squinch Feb 2020 #34

I think we should be able multitask. I want to beat Trump as much as you do. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #60

I care about other things besides beating trump calguy Feb 2020 #66

Billionaire Bloomberg v Millionaire Sanders. stopbush Feb 2020 #74

$60 BILLION is a little different than $2 million. To anyone. JudyM Feb 2020 #98

But Bernie is not trying to buy the election. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #108

Well.... there are some questions being raised about that. ehrnst Feb 2020 #140

NO SHIT!!! Thankfully, it's gonna be Bernie as our beloved Democratic nominee, so no need to worry! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #117

Me too, but we must beat Trump N/T I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #122

Well... ehrnst Feb 2020 #141

Bloomberg vs Trump. A Wall St. match-up made in heaven.. jalan48 Feb 2020 #19

Seriously...think I'll stick with Bernie, who fights for the working class on Main Street... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #114

I think Wall St is already well represented, they don't need more. jalan48 Feb 2020 #116

Trump relies heavily on the belief that he is super rich. Blue_true Feb 2020 #21

Bloomberg is the one guy I think would genuinely intimidate Trump renate Feb 2020 #22

Didn't know he was a dog guy Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #30

His daughter loves horses. She is a highly skilled equestrian. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #59

"He doesn't tweet." Reason to vote for him right there!!! Squinch Feb 2020 #89

And Steyer has just never "caught." Bloomberg is rising steadily, and I suspect Squinch Feb 2020 #36

Steyer comes off as too soft. Unfortunately that matters in today's world. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #63

It's going to take some type of gamble to defeat an incumbent Awsi Dooger Feb 2020 #23

Bloomberg instantly pulls back those people that voted for Blue_true Feb 2020 #40

Incumbent this year, and everyone keeps forgetting a very key thing about 2016. Amimnoch Feb 2020 #92

We need an alliance with the Greens. JudyM Feb 2020 #101

Trump has raised crazy money for his reelection and Bloombeg has that under his couch cushions Kaleva Feb 2020 #28

Trump has raised only $145 million. Democrats have raised almost $400 million. Blue_true Feb 2020 #44

Dem candidates are spending the money fighting each other. Trump is building his war chest. Kaleva Feb 2020 #124

He's not my first choice but oldtime dfl_er Feb 2020 #33

I'd take a guess and say Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #35

If it was Stacey Abrahms oldtime dfl_er Feb 2020 #37

Could be Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #38

What does that mean? babylonsister Feb 2020 #41

It means if Bloomberg selects Gillum Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #45

Ah, gotcha, thanks! nt babylonsister Feb 2020 #48

He knows Booker really well and has worked with him on issues. Blue_true Feb 2020 #47

Biden has been running a general election campaign since the beginning. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #39

And yet I haven't seen one upper cut Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #43

Joe's issue oldtime dfl_er Feb 2020 #46

I agree. Blue_true Feb 2020 #52

exactly oldtime dfl_er Feb 2020 #81

Way too early... Cornell Engineer Feb 2020 #51

I cannot find one earthly reason why Bloomberg would be a good choice. RelativelyJones Feb 2020 #53

As pointed out Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #55

Well, so was Avenatti at one time MichMan Feb 2020 #67

Avenatti is a sleazebag shyster Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #70

Yet many here were touting Avenatti as a candidate because of the way he went after Trump MichMan Feb 2020 #120

$$$ DeterDeter Feb 2020 #76

Yeah... not a huge fan of his policies, but love the way he is campaigning. tinrobot Feb 2020 #56

After that sham of trial Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #58

So now the best campaign is coming in and throwing money around until it sticks? Doremus Feb 2020 #75

Look beyond the money Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #77

I have no interest in Bush lovers. None. Zero. Nada. Doremus Feb 2020 #86

Nothing happens Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #97

Knee jerk nonsense Doremus Feb 2020 #130

Your naivete is pervasive Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #135

So you prefer Trump? I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #125

Utter nonsense. And a self fulfilling prophecy. Doremus Feb 2020 #129

BIIIIIINNGGOOOOO!! It's even BEYOND "beyond stupid"!!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #136

It's not 1940. TV, media, internet matters... Lexblues Feb 2020 #85

He seems to be the only one who understands that messaging is everything. And he seems to Squinch Feb 2020 #88

We don't focus enough on messaging, it's our greatest weakness! JudyM Feb 2020 #103

Bloomberg was a Bush lover not so long ago. When the wind blows the other way is he going to Doremus Feb 2020 #68

For a third time, so what Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #72

You have low goals. nt Doremus Feb 2020 #79

I have a clear focus Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #99

Other than his money DeterDeter Feb 2020 #78

Folks seem to be hoping for the knight in shining armor to save us... JudyM Feb 2020 #105

Laugh at me if you will, but every time I see Judge Judy's commercial Croney Feb 2020 #80

Bloomberg pamdb Feb 2020 #83

Yeah, he attacks the threat head on by supporting George Bush versus Kerry. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2020 #87

Number four, so what Aviation Pro Feb 2020 #93

Democrats Cornell Engineer Feb 2020 #107

Wait!!! I thought only Joe could stop tRumpy the Clown!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #118
