27. Fair enough. I disagree, but fair enough.

In any political race, there'll be a fair bit of mudslinging and more than a few negative ads. Trump takes it all to the lowest level it can go, just like everything else with him. He doesn't sling mud, he slings shit. His ads aren't just negative, they're riddled with bullshit. Trump also has a tremendous war chest, which is another consideration.

Bloomberg has largely already taken the fight to Dolt 45, and can match him dollar-for-dollar in campaign spending, all without a penny from a donor. That sort of ability is not to be despised. Is he my preferred candidate? Nope. Is this a normal election cycle? Also nope.

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

That is so disappointing. (eom) Malmsy Feb 2020 #4

Why be disappointing with a guy who states he'll vote for the Dem nominee? LanternWaste Feb 2020 #6

Because Bernie is the social justice candidate and that is HLG's life work Malmsy Feb 2020 #21

Except he didn't say he found Bloomberg's position on issues to be the best. Jedi Guy Feb 2020 #24

I just don't think it's productive to promote a candidate simply for those reasons. Malmsy Feb 2020 #25

Fair enough. I disagree, but fair enough. Jedi Guy Feb 2020 #27
