Bloomberg is running a smart campaign

Honestly, I didn't think he had a snowball's chance in hell but I like the way he is spending his money to go after Trump while the rest of our candidates are going after each other. His numbers are going up quickly.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I’m afraid that if BS gets the nomination we will have 4 more years of Trump. I wish I didn’t feel that way

If Biden stumbles and Klobuchar doesn't catch fire, it looks like Buttigieg doesn't have much appeal in diverse states in the South. So my guess is that after Nevada, the dynamics of the race totally change, that sets Bloomberg up for a very good showing on Super Tuesday and beyond that day, I really don't see Bernie being able to beat him, because the race swings big into the South and then come to the Northeast, where Blolmberg will be exceptionally strong, Massachusetts would be the only question normally, but Bloomberg was born there, so I expect that to be highly favorable to him in that state.

Same here.

However, I notice that many of my friends are good with him getting the Dem nomination.

I mean, I'm voting blue no matter who. But if it's Bloomberg who ultimately ends up with the Dem nomination, I'll go with him even with some misgivings I have about him, because no matter what misgivings I have about him, he's a saint compared to the a moral, mentally declining, racist, self-described pussy-grabbing, lying, treasonous hog installed in the White House with the help of his party of putin cultists and with the help of vlad, his puppet-master/threatener.

apparently he’s not a great personal campaigner or speaker. Right now he’s Oz behind the current.

That said, he has the best commercials and tweets.

He simply entered the race too late. So, he's not having to debate or defend himself. He's just buying his way to decent poll numbers.

That he's even a consideration is embarrassing.
