I can't immediately reject a person who's willing to put $50+ billion behind beating Donald Trump in November. Bloomberg must be taken seriously, and he's no idiot. His campaign strategy might just work.

btw, I can imagine a Bloomberg/Buttigieg ticket. That wouldn't hurt my feelings.

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