Would you vote for Bloomberg if he won the nomination? (With poll) [View all]

Around the progressive interwebs I am hearing the theme of ‘no matter who vote blue’ changing to ‘no matter who vote blue, unless of course it is Bloomberg, that would be a step to far’… A STEP TOO FAR??? Are you kidding me? Now don’t get me wrong, people with a shaky history on a multitude of issues, including voting patterns and civil rights is certainly far from ideal. As an outside observer, it is more than a tad disturbing that the chap with the biggest bank account could potentially win because of the power of the $$$, when we see other candidates who have worked for decades to get to this point and have (whether you agree with them or not) solid policy positions. But this is what the American election system looks like for fair or foul.

Looking left and look right I cannot objectively see how anyone would choose to sit November 2020 out cause Bloomberg when it could potentially give Trump another term. I do not think it hyperbole to state that if Trump gets another 4 years in power it is rather unlikely that any of you will get to go to the polls again in 2024.

Now, I really hope that Bloomberg does not get to purchase this nomination. However, if he pulls it off …Would you vote for him if he won the nomination? Why or why not?
