I actually started doing some more research.

Absolutely zero offense to any of the current top runners, but I just can't get excited about any of them. After Harris and Castro dropped out, I think I just decided to sit back and wait to see who we would end up with.

Not 100% on board with Bloomberg, but I'm far less against him than I thought I would be. I just keep waiting for a shoe to drop, though. Kicked Dog Syndrome, probably.

I still don't have a 'chosen one'. It changes daily.

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

Bloomberg's Support May Be Broader Than I Thought [View all] stopbush Feb 2020 OP

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

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
