(7,430 posts)Bloomberg's support is thin at best, nationwide. As has proven repeatedly in the last few years, having more money doesn't guarantee a victory. Voting for him will be futile, as he'll be out soon.
If Sanders can't build a coalition to win the Democratic nomination after all these years and all these hundreds of millions of dollars, how can we expect him to be able to form one top solve healthcare or global warming, or any other major topic? As Warren pointed out (paraphrased), he's never managed to implement any of his major ideas, nor stopped anything he's been opposed. That's not the mark f a successful leader and President.
Biden shows a strong willingness to work to find real solutions to our problems and has been there. He won't need on the job training. Is he the most exciting person on Earth. No. Thank got, we already have all the excitement in DC I can tolerate. Are things going to get fixed? Yes, because he will put together a team that he will listen to and work to implement the solutions that are best for us, IMO. He's already starting by saying Buttegieg will be in his government.
I personally prefer Warren, because she mixes the best of both worlds. She has the experience of getting things done, coupled with the progressive goals of major change, but in a controlled, not chaotic manner. However, I do not believe she is viable.
I do believe there will be a significant impact in down ballot races if either Bloomberg or Sanders are the nominee. I believe there willbe a significant upside impact if Biden or Warren are the nominees
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
