I have to believe there are a lot of people like me who despise both. As things stand, id likely vote Trump over any of the current dem candidates. A bloomberg type could sway some of the middle voters, who will ultimately decide the election. Im not real familiar with him, isn't he fairly moderate (by the standards of the current left anyway?)

Intense Observer 344 Posted November 8, 2019 The fact that Bloomberg and Holder are even hinting at running just shows how terrible the current crop of candidates are. The Dems are really in a bind. - old white male who likes to molest girls and has major pay for play corruption issues with China and Ukraine; was part of administration that spied on it's political opponents - even older white male who is an admitted socialist, just had a heart attack, and sold his base out to Hillary in 2016 because it was her turn and he wanted a 3rd home - old white angry principal who lied about her race to get a job, is a closet socialist, and already lost support of Wall Street - black woman who made her name by sucking her boss' cack and locking up blacks for smoking weed - 35 going on 15 butt pirate who has a CIA background (Harvard, Wall Street, military intelligence) If the Dems were smart () they would just forfeit 2020 like the Republicans did in 2008/2012 and work on developing quality candidate for 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Extreme right wingnuts like to pretend he’s a flaming liberal but in reality he’s one of those moderate republicans that pretty much doesn’t exist anymore. Hence why he’s sort of a democrat now. He’s an intriguing option but I wonder why now and I suspect it’s mostly just to protect billionaires and throw shade on Warren/Sanders. If he runs as a third party guy he can fock off straight to hell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,642 Posted November 8, 2019 I know plenty about Bloomberg. He's no moderate. He's a pro business liberal. He did let the police department do its job, and while not a big supporter, he didn't throw gasoline on fires or start them like Deblasio. Unions hated him. Will attempt to take your guns. For sure.

lickin_starfish 1,480 Posted November 8, 2019 If Bloomberg becomes President, will he tell the whole country what size Slurpee we can drink? I hope so, because we need more government to tell us how to live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill E. 666 Posted November 8, 2019 https://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Mike_Bloomberg_Immigration.htm Quote Bloomberg believes that border enforcement is somewhat futile. He told the Senate hearing on Immigration Legislation on 5 July 2006: “It is as if we expect border control agents to do what a century of communism could not: Defeat the natural forces of supply and demand and defeat the natural human instinct for freedom and opportunity. You might as well sit on the beach and tell the tide not to come in.” A nice way to say you are for open borders. Anyone running as a Democrat these days will have to go so far left to get through the primaries that it will be hard to track back to the center. I believe that when either Bernie or Warren drops out it will be all over no matter who else enters/runs as a "moderate Democrat". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he got in - it would just be to pump up his speaking fees, which may be at about $50 and and a fistful of soon to expire coupons right now. Plus, Biden already has the "I'll vote for whomever did the best at wiping Obama's ass for him" voting block wrapped up. What would be Holder's lane? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,642 Posted November 25, 2019 Much like Hillary had to run from her husbands most successful policy, his crime bill, Bloomberg has already started running from his. So what's left for him to stand on as far as political accomplishments? Not the schools, that's for sure. Liberals are very quick to forget the crime epedemic of the late 80's and 90's when murders were out of control and QOL in the cities was horrible. Now they get to, for political gain, point a finger at the ones who got it under control. Amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
