Especially after Bloomberg becomes the presumptive nominee.

Of course they will help but they wont carry the same weight if he withdraws his candidacy.

"Take down" my foot. The BS camp is in overdrive with BS rhetoric again.

But we need more than just attacking Trump. We need a candidate who can win and Bloomberg is not that candidate.

with their actions and the truth.

Its life or death for the Democratic party and Democratic principles. If Trump wins again we are finished. We have to use every possible advantage we have to win this thing. For a fellow Democrat to attack someone who is willing to spend hundreds of millions to stop Trump is frankly asinine.

nasty Republican. Like any other candidate in a primary Bloomberg with have to show me what he's got and what he is. So far he hasn't. Even Biden and Warren, to use your word, are "attacking" him. As they and anyone else who cares about our democracy should.

This one is for all the marbles.

It's a damn SHITSHOW out there. We have crossed lines in the sand that I am still trying to wrap my head around. This election is it. Democracy as we know it will cease. Defeat Donald Trump. That should be our only directive.

Maybe someday he'll come around and put 1/10th of his effort in going after Tramp and the republicans.

He's not a viable option imo. Pretty much ANY Democratic Party candidate BUT him for 2020.

Bloomberg is free to attack Trump for his policies.

Too Many times. Same ole BernieBullshit.

duplicate message.

Sanders support plateaus.

Bloomberg's support continues to grow.

Somebody is doing something right and somebody is doing something wrong.

in Nevada. Of course Mike is disrespecting us here in Nevada by not participating here.

He's never going to break 30%.

He has much lower support than 2016.

He's done.

No other candidate including Mike is over 30% either.

He's had a five year head start on the field and yet has LOST support!

That said, I’m sure that Mike disrespects Sanders supporters in some other way. 😱

Biden is fading fast.

Bloomberg is moving up fast.

And Bloomberg has yet to be in any primary or caucus!

Super Tuesday is coming.

Independents turn out for a Bush/Cheney Republican? What kind of message does this send to long time liberal and progressive voters? If all we have is Trump is worse we will lose.

It's straight Democratic. There's no reason, from a POLICY standpoint for 2020, to be turned off as a Democratic voter. The likely reason NOT to vote for him is deciding to give more weight to his past record and statements, rather than his present or future plans and rhetoric, and that's fair.

doesn't erase that. How about Ivanka or Jared in 2028 if they become Democrats?

He was mostly a middle of the road guy. In some respects he was more progressive than Dems like Joe Manchin. In others he was a Rudy Giuliani-mold law-n-order Republican. Fiscal conservative. A very mixed bag politically, and opportunistic or flexible as it suited him.

Am I taking crazy pills here?

“Stop and Frisk” is “middle of the road?

Oy Vey.

a fairly liberal GOPer back then. He's fucking bonkers now.

could take down Donnie Dumbass.

Thanks for the thread totodeinhere.

"Attacks a Democratic candidate"?

I'm the only one who can beat Trump
I'm the only one who can beat Trump
I'm the only one who can beat Trump
I'm the only one who can beat Trump
I'm the only one who can beat Trump

Thousands of them were here. Many went to JPR. Many stayed.

time and time again.

It's little wonder BS is running so scared.

as well as his lack thereof.

BS is going to have to answer for voting on the Republican side time and time again against sane gun laws.

Sane gun laws are part of the Democratic Party platform.

Why would anyone here push the phony "gun control" narrative?

Why would anyone reject a candidate who voted with Republicans against the Brady Bill and for the PLCAA and vote instead for a citizen-activist leading the fight for sane gun laws?

Ask Fred Guttenberg and the Sandy Hook families.

If ones goal was to lose the election!

It’s a win-win setup for the 1%.

He was for sensible gun laws when Bernie was still voting against them. In ten years, 350,000-390,000 people died from handguns that the Brady Bill would have helped corrall, Sanders voted against the Brady Bill five times.

Why has this not been done in the debates... Why is Sanders not being made to answer for how his plans actually work? He needs to be properly vetted on the debate stage and see if he can stand the heat.

up and down ticket in 2020.

The candidates' records on guns will come up in the next debate, as will stop and frisk AND the 1994 Crime Bill.

against gun control legistlation? Several hundred thousand people died from handgun violence during that time.

He will either be upset at the reporter for asking, pivot into his stump speech or invoke the magic revolution that will suddenly make all republicans in congress vote for his proposals.
We heard that before.

600,000-1 million people died from gun violence.

streets of NYC and other big cities. How does a big city Mayor get guns off the street once those guns have flooded into the city?

Will Bernie apologize for the close to 1 million dead victims of gun violence during the ~30 years that he opposed sensible gun control laws?

The reason Bloomberg is climbing in the polls is that all he does is attack Trump instead of the other candidates.

Mike, it's time to start writing checks.... Bernie needs to be exposed. He isn't a Democrat

Stop and frisk was immoral and ineffective. But on a separate note, incarcerations in NYC went down 39% under Bloomberg.

Bernie, on the other hand, helped pass the crime bill that led to the unwarranted incarcerations of thousands of black men.

I don't want to be stopped and frisked. But I want to be wrongfully incarcerated even less.

That's why I'm with Bloomberg. He knows who the correct target to go after is.
