Go Bernie! Bloomberg has the money to cause problems, though not win.

[Bloomberg is a whiny nanny state midget.]


From the liberal and moderate* perspective, Trump is a [fill-in-the-blanks-with-every-caricature-of-the-GOP-you-can-think-up]. Compared to that, Bloomberg is the Democrats’ man on a white horse - its Napoleon without the world-conquering impulse.

The thing about Bloomberg is that he not only has plenty of cash, he knows how to deploy cash and how to manage people. That is what differentiates him from Steyer the billionaire fund manager. NYC had a 350,000 city employee headcount that was almost completely unionized when Bloomberg was mayor, so he understands how to either get their support or work past their opposition. That’s how he got 3 terms as mayor in spite of lacerating attacks from the city’s formidable Democratic machine.

* A moderate is someone whose default view is “a pox on both their houses”. That’s someone who likes low taxes but is pro-abortion. Who likes low crime but thinks the death penalty should be abolished.

I was reading comments from other areas regarding Dems who think Bloomberg would be the only one to go up against President. They like his business background and his wealth to fight Trump. They don’t agree with everything about Bloomberg but feel that is the best one to vote for in the election.

I agree. I think it will be Bloomberg in the end. But, I still feel that there will be brokered convention and Hillary will slide in at that time.

There is a huge difference between the billionaire Trump and the billionaire Bloomberg.

Trump didn't buy the Republican nomination from the RNC. They were in the tank for Jeb! He went over the party to the voters and convinced them that he was the only solution to the ills of the party and the country.

Bloomberg appeals to no one except through the purse of the DNC. It's not a winning strategy.

I dream of seeing a dem nominee who will go down in glorious flames like McGovern did but that is not possible in the current climate. Actually I think McGovern was a decent human being, unlike the current crowd of demwits and he was probably a conservative when compared to Bernie and the lot.

Biden, yes. I agree. He wants to stay out of jail.

And as to why they don’t want Bernie. Same. He’s not deep state he’ll never be interested in nor have the capacity to keep them out of jail. The rest all probably work for the deep state

Trump.
I’m hoping their candidates are so out there that the vast majority of democrat voters return to sanity and start asking themselves, what the heck are we doing with all these socialist candidates.

“I personally hope the Democrat give the most votes to Bernie and then the party gives the nomination to Biden.”

Perfect and then let the truth get out last week of October.
