Bottom line - Dems have no shot to beat Trump....

Good points but you forgot Bloomberg. If biden quits, B’berg will take his place. If biden doesn’t have a majority at the convention, then maybe B’berg wins a brokered convention.

Long shot prediction, but I think B’berg is the only rat who could beat Trump.

Only thing Bloomberg ever got elected to was mayor of NYC... as a Republican... riding Giuliani’s very considerable coattails.

His ability to sell nationwide is nil. He’ll go over as well as Tom Steyer.

The Democrats have nobody they could possibly recruit that could go toe to toe with Trump and come out the victor.

You may be right. If it goes to a brokered conventional then the back room guys take over and Bloomberg takes it.

Bloomberg has no shot at all.

His very authoritarian views and policies as NYC mayor aren’t going to sell. Nor will his massive hypocrisy in being the #1 Gun Grabber while have at least 19 armed former NYC police detectives on his own personal security detail.

Plus, he was all for stop and frisk and was quite explicit about wanting to target Black males.

When his male employees were accused of sexual harassment he was again quite explicit about not believing women and talked about demanding a really high standard of proof and he fought them tooth and nail in court.

Remember, this is Mr. no Big Gulps. Mr. no sugar or salt on the table in restaurants in the whole city. Mr. no soft drink vending machines and n schools. And on and on.

Good luck selling that to the American people.
