So is Bloomberg the Biden alternate [View all]

I've been wondering if Biden's campaign fails, do the BOG/Obama supporters choose Bloomberg? His policies and approaches seem closer to Obama than anyone else. Yeah, he doesn't have his eloquence, nor Michelle and the kids. But really, other than 64 oz sodas, it would seem that he is the kind of leader that Obama supporters would like.

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

No. Why is Biden being written off already because he didn't win in Iowa? Everyone admits.... George II Feb 2020 #20

Not so much written off zipplewrath Feb 2020 #24

He most likely will come out of NH behind by only about 10 delegates, roughly what his lead is in SC George II Feb 2020 #28

From what I know of Obama supporters, he's not at all who they'd support. ancianita Feb 2020 #21

Policy wise zipplewrath Feb 2020 #23

Can't agree. ancianita Feb 2020 #31

But it's where Obama claimed to sit zipplewrath Feb 2020 #37

Doesn't follow that Obama would endorse him. Obama endorses Biden. ancianita Feb 2020 #40

Well not yet zipplewrath Feb 2020 #41

Biden's in it to the end. With more primary wins,money, endorsements to get to the convention. ancianita Feb 2020 #44
