The Democrats real choice is not between Biden and Bloomberg.
It is between having Bernie run as their nominee or having the socialists running their own ticket in the election, possibly Tulsi or a Bernie/Tulsi ticket which (while it would not unseat Trump) just might get more votes than the Democrats at this point.
Bloomberg is assaying to win the presidency by carpet bombing Trump (and as necessary Biden, Sanders, et. al.) with personally financed "paid media.Altho Trump threatened something similar in 16, he actually was able to get by with earned media. He made the news about him.
Bloombergs wealth is IMHO a serious threat. He can project an image of himself as seemingly so reasonable.
But Bloomberg is known as a micromanager and a gun grabber. IMHO the gun grabber issue should be addressed by asking, Why do people buy guns? As Bloomberg would have it, they buy guns to kill people. The reality is that if so, guns arent very effective - the number of homicides by gun is dwarfed by the number of guns extant. And the number of homicides is dwarfed by the number of traffic fatalities - why the emphasis on the former disproportionately to the latter?Death: Reality vs. Reported
Finally, although most Democrats arent criminals, IMHO the number of Republicans who are criminals is probably not the tenth part of the number of Democrats who are criminals. If the Democrats are so dead set on reducing murder by gun, and Republicans are the only obstacle to achieving that, the answer is simple - outlaw the ownership and possession of guns by Democrats. Problem solved almost completely!
Actual Cause of Death Prevalence Reportage Heart Disease 30.2 % < 3% Cancer 29.5% < 14% Road, Falls, Accidents 7.6% < 3% Lower Respiratory Disease 7.4% < 3.5% Alzheimers Disease 5.6% < 1% Stroke 4.9% 5% Diabetes 3.8% < 2.5% Drug Overdose 2.8% < 1% Kidney Disease 2.7% < 1% Pneumonia & Flu 2.5% < 1% Suicide 1.8% > 10.6% Homicide 0.9% > 22% Terrorism < 0.01% > 33%
Bloomberg cannot fight it out in a two way race with Trump.
Bloomberg does not have any path to gain the Democrat nomination without Bernie’s faction running their own candidate.
You have a point, but does not have any path might prove to be an exaggeration. How exactly he might buy that path isnt obvious, but 10$ billion will buy many things.
Thousands were in the arena.....tens of thousands were outside in the freezing cold viewing it on TV screens.
==========================================
45 people went to a Bloomberg rally to hear the popular Judge Judy.
11 people were at a Biden rally to hear John Kerry.
=========================================================
Trump kicked-off his 2020 campaign with a rip-roaring rally in Toledo, Ohio (reportedly many from nearby Michigan also attended).
The line to get in to see Trump was so long, it was next to impossible to find the end of it.
=======================================
