6. Simple: He's not attacking the party.

Now I speak only for myself, but my party problems with Bernie don't extend to Bloomberg for that simple reason. It's also why I had absolutely no problem at all with warren's long ago history with the Republican party.

If Bloomberg's platform was attacking the Democratic Party, Democratic Party Leadership I'd have just as big an issue with him wearing our party tag as I do with BS.

If Bloomberg's campaign leadership was filled with people who helped deny us the first female president in our history, and putting Trump into place by their outspoken, and to this day completely unapologetic support of 3rd party I'd have just as big a problem with his wearing of our party tag as I do with BS.

So, yeah, there is a double standard, but there's definitely justifiable reason for it.

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

there are no really new ones, but wow, this poll is disastrous for Biden, a 24 point lead dropped Celerity Feb 2020 #12

Yes, Bloomberg is surging in this poll, as in other polls. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #17

41 - 26 is a 15 point drop why spin? uponit7771 Feb 2020 #18

Going from a 24 point lead to trailing by one is a net minus 25, so why are you spinning? Celerity Feb 2020 #19

That's a very interesting poll. MineralMan Feb 2020 #14
