Hardly anybody, that's who.

The score is NY 0/DC 18. Don’t know who’s on MSNBC right now...

And see what happens...

They'd do better ignoring him, but they can't help themselves, it's a story they want to chase.

I don't recognize her.

On edit — Alicia Menendez.

Bloomberg hates Dump and wants to stop him. Who else has the means to do it now???

I don't think that would be Bloomberg.

part, and as a billionaire he has the money to burn. The candidates depend on donations.

candidates with much better track records than Bloomberg. He is being vetted right now and people outside of NYC are starting to see what kind of person he really is.

have flaws that could give Trump 4 more.

With the prospect that Trump might actually win a second term, we become more concerned about our candidates and their ability to beat him in a general election. I've been inclined to see faults that I may have overlooked before.

That said, I still think our best candidates can beat him, but I assure you that I will have moments of doubt up and until November! The shock of Trump winning in 2016 will never go away.

Compared to the people running for a year.

except when he needles Trump. His record and history, not so much.

I understand not liking or supporting the guy, but at some point DU is going to have to enforce its rules concerning not attacking Democratic public figures in regard to him.

My own post that is, not other people's.

he should be honestly vetted like anyone else. He has a record and putting that record under scrutiny is reasonable and fair.

Obviously, I would vote for him against Trump, but never in a primary.

HuffPost has been full of anti-Bloomberg articles lately. And Zerlina Maxwell, a top former aid of Hillary Clinton just bashed Bloomberg on MSNBC in no uncertain terms.

I saw that as well. I think there is a whole lot about the man that many voters don't know yet.

Also it turns out that he spend $6 million to block the case regarding the compensation for the Central Park Five.

if we GOTV. Bloomberg is morally Trump’s twin. People will sit home.

I hope Bloomberg’s unconstitutional campaign against Black and Latinx youth and Muslims, and his affinity for the worst Republicans, especially for Neo-Cons is shouted from the rooftops. Americans need to know.

for the serious mistreatment, bullying, harassment, criminalizing of black and Latinx children, some of whose lives were ruined, is a good thing. You prove that after our outcry against Trump’s Muslim travel ban we should embrace a man who mounted an extensive spying and surveillance program against Muslins.

He will not win in the end and our party will be dirtied for years.

Good day.

is going to collapse I predict. He may be polling well in a couple of southern states right now but it won't last. Look for voters from minority communities to return to Biden.

A lot of people across the country really don't know that much about Bloomberg. With some actual vetting, he could lose a lot of support.

pull up some really disturbing information about the former mayor. I'm referring to credible news sources.

If they register as Dems, and sign up for the primaries, should we vote for them too????

We need to get in the ditch with this orange piece of shit and stop him.

Yes, I want Trump out, absolutely.

But, if that means replacing him with something just as evil & onerous, what's the point?
Changing the name of the top executive, without changing what he stands for, or will do for/with the country is useless.

If I'm being stuck in the side by a knife, and they switch to a ice pick, it hurts just as much.
It doesn't matter that the name of the tool has changed!

So, from here on out the country is going to be run by Billionaires, with policies that only benefit themselves,
and the 1%, well because they are the only ones who can battle each other in this environment? Who's next
when Bloomy goes rouge? He's the 8th richest guy. Need to get Bezos, Gates, or Buffet to run against him?
Where does it stop?

How about we all just vote for the person who has the policy, platform, and values, that are important to us, and
when that person gets the nomination we ALL stand behind them and beat Trump? Let's stop trying to play the
"electability" game, and just elect the person "We the people" want!

it seems the field would be more than wide.

Stop & Frisk & Red lining. Even though Bloomie apologized for not stopping those programs sooner, Joy obviously doesn't think that's enough. I'm sure she speaks for a lot of black & brown people who were directly affected by those programs, but as time passes, if Bloomie becomes one of the top candidates, they will work out a solution.

I don't want Bloomberg because he's as much of a pig as Donnie but someone needs to win! He has tons of money and wants to kick the ancient piece of shit to the curb/

are Sanders supporters or people who will never be satisfied with any Democrat.

I saw the discussion. New tapes of Bloomberg expressing controversial viewpoints over the last few years are emerging. This is him in his own voice expressing fully coherent thoughts, not just tiny snippets edited to distort his intent. Should they just be suppressed and/or completely ignored?

Better to have all the skeletons come tumbling out of the closet now

He supported over 20 Democrats

To think such a man a man would be in charge of the American criminal justice system which is riddled with inequities now. Can it get worse? Yes!! He fancies himself a crime fighter. It will get
worse.

But it could get better. We have work to do.

Do not believe his apology. He stands by his failed and ugly policy. It comes straight out of his ugly
belief system, deeply entrenched.

If we hear for the first time something about Bloomberg during the General, swing-voters and independents may just decide to walk away. Especially if what they hear about Bloomberg makes them feel like his tactics are underhanded, and his character is not different than Trump's when it comes to race and misogyny. Might as well hear it now.

Bloomberg will look like a saint.

Most people already have an opinion of Bloomberg and I think its mostly positive. Furthermore in comparison to Trump and his past, Bloomberg is a saint.

It's probably nothing more than that.

Stop and frisk just like they did with her emails.

“Stop and frisk” Terry stops were programmatically racist in origin and intent.
I could say a lot of negative things about Hillary, but her emails were nowhere near as much a problem as Bloomberg’s sexism, racism, transphobia, support of financial felons, and 100s of NDAs.
He can’t win in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

RCP has Sanders and Biden beating Trump, with Sanders ahead in those states for the primary.
Unlike the DNC and previous candidates’ campaign, Sanders and his supporters know how to GOTV.
But omg we need Racistberg because you don’t like Sanders and blame him for Hillary not going to the Rustbelt.

This is nothing like Hillary's emails. Bloomberg has a real record that is often very disturbing.

part of the New Jim Crow. And he is not sorry for it. The consequences were not unintended, down
the road. No comparison with emails or Hilary. In addition, he had a whole unconstitutional spying and surveillance program for Muslims, only stopped by the FBI.

A lot of Biden people and Sanders people see Racistberg in the same light. I’ve always liked the Vice President as a person.
I don’t agree with him on a lot but he would be major improvement over the current Jack ass.

candidate with a good chance against Trump and an agenda to help and lift all Americans and to
take serious action immediately on justice reform to eradicate systemic racism from all branches of the administration of justice.

He has no business being in this race.

Evidently than there are others that have no business being in this race.

So far, he's gone after the Dumpster Fire in the White House, not the other candidates, which is fine by me.

He's not my favorite candidate by any means, but he's also putting his ad money where it will do the most good.

Leave him the fuck alone for now. He loathes the present administration and the Russian crooks they rode in on, let him do his job.

Not enough to win.

by MSNBC. At least Joe Biden catches a break this weekend.

Reacted....
WTF?
