Bloomberg's Support May Be Broader Than I Thought [View all]

Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but a recent post I made to FB expressing support for Mike has brought numerous concurring comments from friends. I am surprised at how many took the opportunity to say they outright support Mike, but more surprised at the many comments from supporters of other D candidates who are considering changing their support to Mike.

These comments came post-Iowa. I wonder if the mess in Iowa has people spooked, that the chaos has somehow attached to candidates who bear no responsibility for said chaos. That would be unfortunate, but it may also be an inconvenient truth.

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

Bloomberg could surprise us all. How about a comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #1

Considering that he supported her opponent in 2012 I doubt she'd be interested. Doremus Feb 2020 #4

Gee, I wonder why he supported a republican over Warren. redqueen Feb 2020 #11

Very good question, redqueen! Very good question indeed. nt Doremus Feb 2020 #16

At this moment I don't think either one will be our nominee. comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #15

More likely Bloomberg-Booker. Blue_true Feb 2020 #25

Bloomberg-Booker! mia Feb 2020 #42

No, We need someone younger and who can help with the blue wall states. Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #41

I see panic and fear leading to rash decisions and later regret. Doremus Feb 2020 #3

This is exactly why I want to see him on the debate stage. I don't want the bullwinkle428 Feb 2020 #5

I'm all for the world seeing his unvarnished self. What sticks in my craw is how he got there. Doremus Feb 2020 #12

He wrote a check to the DNC? Any evidence or is it just a casual smear? comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #17

He did. Doremus Feb 2020 #19

He donated more than $100 million to help Democrats in the 2018 mid-term elections. comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #20

His polling numbers alone are enough to get him on the stage, and he should be there. Blue_true Feb 2020 #27

I agree. nt spooky3 Feb 2020 #30

He can go on the stage all he wants. I don't care. Doremus Feb 2020 #34

Putting him on stage was a very wise move by the DNC. Blue_true Feb 2020 #35

This gives him an advantage in passing his program in Congress N/T I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #21

I agree. Plus his agenda will likely be achievable. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #29
