1. Good. He should not be running for president at all.

He can surely help whoever our nominee is by buying ads for her/him and by attacking tRump all the time.

Those are things that we Democrats would certainly welcome!

the most useful thing he could do is put his money to work by creating a big fat PAC that supports all Democrats, including the more vulnerable down-ballot congressional candidates.

I predict not a lot of tears. He's got miles of baggage.

"He's in trouble" would be an accurate summation of the situation. No worry required to come to that conclusion.

IMO if Bloomberg truly wants to help he should fund educational ads exposing tRump's lies etc. and give up on his egotistical notion of running for President.

10. The more people see of Bloomberg the less they like him

Same thing happened to Giuliani when he ran against Hillary for the Senate seat. Rudy was losing to Hillary in NYC and winning upstate. Then he went upstate and his numbers tanked there too. He made an excuse and withdrew from the race.

I can't see Bloomberg winning in the South or the Midwest.

He means well, but entering a race late, with lukewarm fit for the party's principles.

Hope Biden is on a roll!

Hopefully he realizes it is not worth the trouble/humiliation and decides to save his money to help Democrats who can actually use it to get votes.
