12. On the plus side, they are a political/philosophical match, and it would drive Trump crazy...

...but on the negative side, I'm afraid it would motivate maximum turnout on the Trump side, as there is basically nobody they hate more. And on the flip side of that same equation, I'm not sure it gets us any more votes than Bloomberg himself. What state does she help him carry that he wouldn't get anyway?

I think I'd rather Bloomberg ran with someone who more people really liked, someone who wasn't underwater in favorables (outside the base).

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