If Bloomberg is the guy we lose in a landslide. Why would Democrats and more importantly jalan48 Feb 2020 #8

Moderates would like him. His policy platform is not Bush Cheney Republican either. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #20

He was a supporter of one of the worst Presidents in US history. Because he changed uniforms jalan48 Feb 2020 #25

Bloomberg has a 12 year record as a public official to judge him from. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #28
