38. I agree but we will have Nv and SC to see what shakes out. Bloomberg is not on the ballot.

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

Perhaps, but his actions I believe will have the opposite effect by giving the weakest candidate still_one Feb 2020 #10
Agreed squirecam Feb 2020 #17
No SCantiGOP Feb 2020 #25
Have you seen his ads? applegrove Feb 2020 #2
I don't think so ibegurpard Feb 2020 #3

A typical billionaire...who served 12 years as mayor in one for our most Democratic cities brooklynite Feb 2020 #41
Which also elected Republican Giuliani several times ibegurpard Feb 2020 #60
So I shouldn't be impressed that Massachusetts elected Warren... brooklynite Feb 2020 #66
you do you ibegurpard Feb 2020 #67
You are a lot smarter than to believe that. Squinch Feb 2020 #4
Sure, but I think that very likely can be the result. still_one Feb 2020 #15
I have thought about that too . . . Iliyah Feb 2020 #5
No Mike Nelson Feb 2020 #6
like winning a dems primary then bailing to run in the regular as a not-democrat? sorry that's msongs Feb 2020 #7
No. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #8
No way. Nor would Timothy O'Brien be working with him--given his own intense disdain hlthe2b Feb 2020 #9
No, he loathes Trump. LaurenOlimina Feb 2020 #11
Nope. Bloomberg genuinely loathes Trump, like the vast majority of those of us... MANative Feb 2020 #12
It might have not been Bloomberg's intention but this is exactly how the scenario will play out. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #13
You articulated it much better than I did still_one Feb 2020 #18
No, for many reasons. Baked Potato Feb 2020 #14
Maybe not intentionally, but by choosing to run he is splitting to primary votes even more still_one Feb 2020 #24
I think it will shake out to the best candidate to beat Trump Baked Potato Feb 2020 #26
I hope you are right. I am holding my Super Tuesday vote off until after SC, and then try to still_one Feb 2020 #30
Nonsense BlueJac Feb 2020 #16
OMG ! You may be right ! left-of-center2012 Feb 2020 #19
He didn't expect Biden to run into trouble this quickly Mike 03 Feb 2020 #20
NO WAY! bluestarone Feb 2020 #21
No, I don't think so. PETRUS Feb 2020 #23
Possible? BlueIdaho Feb 2020 #27
I thought about that too. Sloumeau Feb 2020 #28
Tulsi, I believe, is more left wing. MoonchildCA Feb 2020 #49
However, since the last election in 2016, Sloumeau Feb 2020 #63
I would bet money that's not his intention. TDale313 Feb 2020 #29
I agree with your speculation, but I think he sure improves the odds of Bernie getting the still_one Feb 2020 #32
No. More because of Biden's weak performance. I look at Bloomberg as my security blanket. krissey Feb 2020 #31
It isn't just Biden, he is splitting the votes between Amy, Pete, and Biden, which improve the odds still_one Feb 2020 #37
I agree but we will have Nv and SC to see what shakes out. Bloomberg is not on the ballot. krissey Feb 2020 #38
Agreed, and why I am deferring my Super Tuesday vote until after those primaries still_one Feb 2020 #43
I am with you on that. Or if some magic happens for Warren. krissey Feb 2020 #46
I am ok with that also still_one Feb 2020 #70
Also, what makes me consider Bloomberg's role here is he has not gone after a single Democrat, krissey Feb 2020 #50
True, but he is still competing for delegates still_one Feb 2020 #71

No. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #36
I don't think so. I think he entered in order to secure the buying of our democracy at the expense Nanjeanne Feb 2020 #39
He got in to stop a loss in the General by Sanders. Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #48
No, because he's a Democrat. brooklynite Feb 2020 #40

Yes Bill and Hillary asked him. Chasm of sarcasm nt IADEMO2004 Feb 2020 #59
No, he hates trump. Lunabell Feb 2020 #61
Wow that is some pretzel logic. honest.abe Feb 2020 #62
it's nothing more than Bloomberg believing he's a gift from God. He was always like that. RelativelyJones Feb 2020 #64
No but he is a disruptor and has moved in all under the desire to stop warren or sanders as much as lunasun Feb 2020 #65
Well said. Warren actually has details to her proposals and how to pay for them still_one Feb 2020 #73
Unlikely. n/t PoliticAverse Feb 2020 #68
The scathing anti-Trump ads tend to say otherwise Zambero Feb 2020 #69
Maybe, but I think not so much from Warren. For some reason I don't understand, she seems to have still_one Feb 2020 #72
