No, I think he’ll take votes from the Dems. If he had tried to get the GOP nomination, however, he probably could have gotten it simply because he had the money and the power and we don’t really have a front-runner right now.
He was a Dem all his life, but because he left the Dems to buy the NYC mayoralty, he lost his position in the pecking order. Otherwise, he’d probably be the Dem candidate for Prez.
How popular is he with East Coast Democrats? I am not sure West Coast Dems know him that well. Glad he is obviously not liked by Republicans everywhere, LOL.
