With Bernie, we lose it all. The WH, the House, and many state and local races.

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

You'll still vote for him if he's the nominee this fall. Kaleva Feb 2020 #7

You keep saying that. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #8

I keep saying it because it's true. We'll all vote fro Bloomberg if he's the nominee. Kaleva Feb 2020 #61

I don't believe whatever "we" you mean will vote for Bloomberg is he's the nominee. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #63

Members of this forum. DUers. Kaleva Feb 2020 #72

Have you seen a post saying they won't be voting for Bloomberg if he's the nominee? Kaleva Feb 2020 #80

On a forum that requires not posting that as a qualification of participation? No. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #87

Which says that remaining a member of a forum is the most important thing to them Kaleva Feb 2020 #96

Or they truly don't know what they'd do, or they generally don't share their voting patterns, WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #103

I agree with you and yes, I'll vote for Sanders if he wins the nomination. Kaleva Feb 2020 #68

We are on the same page and I'm glad that we will both be working for our nominee no matter totodeinhere Feb 2020 #73

I think the great majority of us are on the same page. Kaleva Feb 2020 #79

I will proudly vote for Joe or Pete or Amy or Elizabeth. -nt Amimnoch Feb 2020 #81

One says that the plan is that "Mr. B. Mr. Mike. Mr. Bloomberg" takes out Bernie. Autumn Feb 2020 #16

That's the entire point. kstewart33 Feb 2020 #25

And what do you get when your Mr. B knocks out Liz, Pete and Amy along with Bernie? Autumn Feb 2020 #38

Bloomberg resonates w far more of the general population than Sanders would. Vivienne235729 Feb 2020 #93

No he does not. Bloomberg will not appeal to everyone to the right of Bernie. Autumn Feb 2020 #98

No but Bloomberg will appeal with more people to the right of Bernie Vivienne235729 Feb 2020 #116

There's a shit load of people to the left of Bloomberg. Autumn Feb 2020 #117

Right. No shit. But There's a few candidates that they will appeal to That's not Bernie. Vivienne235729 Feb 2020 #118

Don't worry bout it. Bernie will do just fine. Autumn Feb 2020 #119

Besides believing he can beat Trump, what do you like about Bloomberg? WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #42

His work on climate change and on gun control. His proposed tax plan. His millions of dollars Squinch Feb 2020 #64

Please make this an OP, post separately flamingdem Feb 2020 #92

No. It's actually the longest one. jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #21

Q: where and when does someone's past go away? stopbush Feb 2020 #30

The scale of civil rights violations that ocurred against African-Americans and other POC under jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #39

At least he purchased a D, unlike Sanders, who is still running as an I for his Senate seat. stopbush Feb 2020 #43

That's it? Nothing about the twelve years of civil rights abuses against POC? jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #45

If you want more, Mike was a lifelong D who chose to run as an R in the NYC mayoral race. stopbush Feb 2020 #47

None of that excuses or erases what he has done. jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #75

Nothing magical involved. Mike can beat tRump. Sanders can't. stopbush Feb 2020 #95

BTW, do you realize that Bloomy endorsed Dumbya Bush twice for President? jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #78

It's not at all a matter of being smitten. At age 65, I don't get smitten by politicians. stopbush Feb 2020 #94

Plus, Trump wanted the Central Park Five executed, he has Blue_true Feb 2020 #100

Trump supported execution for the Central Park Five. Blue_true Feb 2020 #99

"Bloomberg has a lot more ammunition in that area than Trump has." THAT DOES NOT MATTER. bluewater Feb 2020 #102

Your claim was that Trump could use stop and frisk to neutralize Bloomberg. Blue_true Feb 2020 #106

That is my contention and I stand by it. bluewater Feb 2020 #107

Bloomberg has shown that he is willing to punch Trump in the mud. Blue_true Feb 2020 #108

Bloomberg may be a sexist and racist pig, but ... Laelth Feb 2020 #22

It's too early to overlook Bloomberg's flaws. bluewater Feb 2020 #26

Bloomberg's flaws won't be overlooked, I don't think. Laelth Feb 2020 #33

"Sure he's a sexist and racist, but he's OUR sexist and racist" Not a winning campaign strategy Baclava Feb 2020 #44

You are right, of course, but I doubt Bloomberg will adopt that as his campaign slogan. n/t Laelth Feb 2020 #46

Sorry, but that should not just be a "weakness" jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #54

Bloomberg's "weaknesses" are not dealbreakers as far as the American electorate is concerned. Laelth Feb 2020 #59

Which half of the American electorate is that? jcmaine72 Feb 2020 #66

I very much appreciate Senator Sanders' dedication to liberal principles. Laelth Feb 2020 #74

Bloomberg - Nothing like settling! Nt jmg257 Feb 2020 #24
