I don't think it's only Bernie voters. Bloomberg is a Bush/Cheney supporting billionaire. I think jalan48 Feb 2020 #2

Not to mention many minorities. redqueen Feb 2020 #47

I'm amazed that many Democrats think this is the best we can do in the biggest election in decades. jalan48 Feb 2020 #50

Isn't the same thing going to happen if any other candidate but Bernie wins the nomination? Kaleva Feb 2020 #11

Yes, yes it will. Unfortunately. Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #14

Note that Rattner said they will be upset "given the way Bloomberg is getting there". Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #16

They will find something in all of them. Squinch Feb 2020 #31

Bloomberg can only get there the way Biden or any other candidate can get there Kaleva Feb 2020 #43

Good point. honest.abe Feb 2020 #18

Yup. Squinch Feb 2020 #29

I think less so than with Bloomberg democrattotheend Feb 2020 #69

You are totally right cherryinpa Feb 2020 #12

And we know that Bernie's real pet peeve is billionaires. His supporters won't back one of those. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #20

Going from Bernie to a Billionaire will be difficult for many Bernie independents and lefties. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #15

Yes exactly cherryinpa Feb 2020 #21

Unfortunately I agree Skya. Bloomberg cutting into the votes for Joe, Amy, and Pete, and dividing still_one Feb 2020 #17

Disqualified on what basis? It isn't just Biden he is hurting, he is also hurting Amy and Pete. still_one Feb 2020 #38

Disqualified cherryinpa Feb 2020 #41

People are allowed to switch parties. I understand your frustration, and still_one Feb 2020 #58

It's so obvious that Bloomberg will share the moderate lane with Biden if we don't stick together Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #35

I agree. The media is not helping the situation either with their puffing up of the significance of still_one Feb 2020 #44

So they'd rather have Trump than Bloomberg? Hard to belive but.......... Bengus81 Feb 2020 #26

Steve Rattner is not a "spokesman" for Bloomberg. He'a a regular contributer on Morning Joe. lapucelle Feb 2020 #27

yeah Cosmocat Feb 2020 #32

He's Bloomberg's confidante and was on MorningJoe to boost his client's candidacy. Let's not be cute Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #42

Bernie Bros are always upset about everything. DetlefK Feb 2020 #30

Bloomberg will bring more voters than he loses aeromanKC Feb 2020 #34

He will also lose lots of AAs who will never forgive him for his racist stop and frisk policy. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #37

Black voters care most about beating the pants off of Trump. writes3000 Feb 2020 #39

I'm one of those black voters and Bloomberg's racist tactics are hard for many of us to get over. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #45

I'm one of those black voters as well. I guess we will see. writes3000 Feb 2020 #51

You just proved my point. You will stand firm in your support for Bloomberg and I will stand firm in Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #66

What if he chooses a black female VP? honest.abe Feb 2020 #52

This thread is a nightmare. BKDem Feb 2020 #40

A bunch sat at home in 2016, or voted for another party candidate. Was stupid then, and would be Hoyt Feb 2020 #46

Fortunately, Bloomberg appeals to moderates from both sides who will actually vote LongtimeAZDem Feb 2020 #49

oh horse shit evertonfc Feb 2020 #54

I made that mistake last time. broiles Feb 2020 #55

Democrats would be wise to ignore what they think Renew Deal Feb 2020 #60

Steve Rattner isn't a spokesman for Bloomberg Kaleva Feb 2020 #61

He was surely speaking for him this morning. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #62

What evidence do you have that he was speaking for Bloomberg? Kaleva Feb 2020 #63

Find the Morning Joe segment that I referenced in the OP and watch it. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #64

Shouldn't you provide the reference in order to support your own assertion? Kaleva Feb 2020 #67

I'm not going to be blackmailed. grossproffit Feb 2020 #65
