Plus, having two billionaires running for President is the start of a dystopian novel—so we might want to avoid that.

People see "Republican" and assume he's conservative. He's really not.

I would prefer he not be the nominee, but I also think people have no idea where he stands on most issues and have chosen to pick and choose ones that make him look like a right-winger. He's pretty obviously not when his overall record is considered.

Bloomberg Pitches Program to Boost Black Economic Progress
Bloomberg statement on Black History month

I'm not crazy about Bloomberg but I'll take him over Bernie.

This race is looking like its coming down to Bernie & Bloomberg - If you think Bernie can beat Trump then no problem


If Biden would start preforming like he did the last debate we wouldn't be in this mess

He would attract all those Republicans dissatisfied with Trump virtually assuring a victory for "Democrats" in the fall. Go Mitt!

That doesn’t match the article.

This is war.

"he wasn’t actually a Democrat until right before starting this campaign" --
He was a Democratic mayor of NYC for 4 years.

Has he apologized fr supporting Toomey in 2016 since the candidate he gave money to voted to acquit. You've made a big deal out of Warren being a repub a quarter a century ago so why does Bloomberg et a pass on his very recent repub ties, including supporting Bush in his races?

No, I only bring it up when Warren supporters attack Bloomberg for having been a Republican.

If there was a JFK or an Obama in the race, it would be easy. But face it, the current field will lose to Trump. Only Bloomberg can shove it up Trump's ass. I will overlook Bloomberg's problems if it will get rid of Trump. 4 more years of Trump, unchained, is almost unthinkable. His mental state is deteriorating, and there is every indication that the military will follow him off a cliff. If he orders missile strikes and touched off WWIII, the country will be sorry they ever questioned Bloomberg running. At least he wants to get rid of Trump like most people.

Right now he's kicking the stuffing out of Trump.

The others are busy eating their own.

Whoever can beat Trump, I'm in.

everyone they know NOT to vote for Warren:

Check that thread for what he was tweeting about Warren.

Helping McConnell stay in power is huge for me, not to mention support shrub even the second time around... what kind of judgment is that!? Too much, we will be selling out our values even if he’s better than trump. We can beat trump by focusing more on voter turnout.

We can support investigative journalist Greg Palast’s enormous efforts to fix voter purges - he just won a case against Kemp in GA, working with Stacy Abrams, and has been on the case since Gore/FL: http://www.palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2020

"We can beat trump by focusing more on voter turnout."

How do you convert the republican Electoral College in 9 months?

or someone else who’s fighting their voter purges.

So will the real Mike Bloomberg please stand up? https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287496136

over Michael Bloomberg.

Trick OP: If you vote for donald trump or stay home, you are not a Democrat.

I think if Bloomberg wanted to be in office he would still be there. Somewhere. Anywhere.

I worked in the Hopkins building that he helped fund. Can't be all bad. Not even gloating about his philanthropy. Not showing signs of narcissistic or delusional tendencies and no outright lying, at
least publicly.


Just have a feeling that he realizes that there is not a winner in the group and he's goading trump until he chokes on his own vomit.
Not pragmatic enough t o think that he would want to have less freedom in supporting his causes at this stage in his life in securing his legacy.

I really do not care if Bloomberg is ideologically pure enough I am focused on beating trump and neither sanders nor Mayor Pete would have a chance against trump. Neither Mayor Pete nor sanders have any accomplishments that qualify them to be POTUS.

I am currently supporting Joe Biden but I will gladly support Bloomberg over Mayor Pete or sanders

I don't care,I've seen the EVIL that Trump spews. If he would win and take the House back that SOB would kill off every social program there is--or GUT them to the point of being worthless.

We don't need to guess if this will happen,we've seen this shit first hand now for almost four years.

And to be on the safe side, I’d say we’ll need 86 million votes against the POS. No whining or staying home in a snit! No third-party protest votes! Do the right thing! Vote Trump and his Senate enablers the hell out!

I'd go with Amy, Liz, Joe or Pete before Mike. He is what he is: A technocrat with a couple of liberal causes.

If Biden had cake walked to the nomination, Bloomberg would never had considered running. Now instead of having a solid life-long Democratic public servant as our nominee, we might very well get a centrist billionaire who has many conservative view points.

Thanks Bernie.

"Bloomberg served as the 108th mayor of New York City, holding office for three consecutive terms, two terms as a Republican and one as an Independent beginning his first in 2002. A lifelong Democrat before seeking elective office, Bloomberg switched his party registration in 2001 to run for mayor as a Republican. He defeated opponent Mark J. Green in a close election held just weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks. He won a second term in 2005 and left the Republican Party two years later. Bloomberg campaigned to change the city's term limits law and was elected to his third term in 2009 as an independent on the Republican ballot line. His final term as mayor ended on December 31, 2013."
