that all Democratic voters feel that way. I lived very near NYC from 2007 to 2017, I've seen the way Bloomberg manages to get his way, even when the rules of the game are against him. After Sens. Booker, Harris, and Bennet were essentially cleared out of the way, the DNC changed its debate rules to roll out the red carpet for Bloomie.

I still think that if we really want a billionaire, we have one who's managed to get into the debates by the old rules, and who has never supported Republicon causes and officeholders.

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