5. He is totally working against Trump

Mon Feb 10, 2020, 08:27 AM

Feb 2020

His campaign is deploying issues and resources, I feel he's the anti-Trump, and can do a lot of damage to Trump. Could he win the nomination? Yes, if all the others falter in some way. Would he win the general election if the sole major party candidate against Trump? Yes. Will he run as a third party? I doubt it.

Bloomberg is not very involved in the party's process, so perhaps not very well scrutinized, but he is making no mistakes. No mistakes is good. Especially when you have real stature. Light on foreign policy, but the old joke is New York City has its own foreign policy. He'd be running against the bull in the china shop.

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