I hope he runs. He has very good ideas and is not as far left as some current dems. He would get a lot of swing voters.

 

Hardest part for him would be getting thebdem nomination.

 

Yes a real billionaire with real ideas.

One of which is unshackle wall street and the big banks. No thanks.

I can't relate to that at all.

A second term of 45 would be an unspeakable disaster. 

 

Only for the left, for the rest of us it would be much better than any dems running. 
 

I saw where Trumps approval ratings got a bump this week....

I don't think the opinions of hard core 45 fans (about 35 percent of voters) matter on this in the slightest. They will support 45 regardless of what horrors that he does or whoever the democrats put up.

 I agree , I already have an exit plan should this occur, but I am not sure if there is a place to exit too that the long arm of trump can't reach. 

Anyway, I am throwing caution to the wind and supporting Warren,  I have already contributed to her campaign and will do so again soon. But I would vote for anyone nominated, at this poiny I would even be delighted by a president Romney. 

[Why Me]

Warren and Sanders need to be given a gold watch each and pointed to the exit. They can never win a general election. Biden will get confused and wander away at some point.

Bloomberg's got business savvy and political savvy. If Dems can disabuse themselves of loony left fantasies and nominate him they'll have the WH in 2020.

If having the white house is the only concern then you would be right, but it is not.

  We have had this attitude for too long and look where it has gotten as . I think it is time to vote our conscience and let the chips fall where they may.

  We are destroying the country so that we might save it. Not a viable strategy IMO

I like idea of universal health care: covers everyone and if follow model of Canada, much cheaper overall. But US is not ready for that yet. Free tuition might sound good, but why should those who didn't go to college have to pay for those who do?

I like Amy, but she is not the darling of the vocal minority that seems to be steering Demos off a cliff.

Christopher Hitchens wrote a good essay years ago "I fought the law in Bloomberg's New York", funny, witty, spot on and had lovely term for MB: micromeglomaniac. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2004/02/hitchens200402

[Number 6]

I thought Trump was going to be impeached and incarcerated for all his crimes against humanity, no? 
 

 

[Crazy Alex]

Yes, Bloomberg faces big challenges as a candidate. The fact that he's a nanny state clown is among the biggest issues.

[sirineou]

Bloomberg is at 77 years old is another candidate we would not have to pay a lot  for after his retirement..

Yes, because the rich and poor wealth gap's massive increase during the Obama reign of terror was actually a sign of a more egalitarian society.

Well that's kind of a trivial concern but his intention might be to be one term president. Sort of a transition out of the madness into more normality and unity, and then pass the baton.

The problem for the Democrat party is in your last sentence. They have embraced the kook left fringe. They are the party of the Green New Deal, Jew hatred (the Squad) and other insanity that will be a problem for them in 2020. But not to worry: some of the left's best and brightest tell me Trump will be impeached and thrown out of office.

Has there ever been a president who only wanted one term? Not to my knowledge.

Not Trivial IMO, I am 62, in great shape for my age,  and I can feel it, I can imagine what will be like at 72 never mind 79.   

 I guess both Him Sanders and Biden could say the same thing but it is very difficult to govern starting lame duck. Any of them would need a sure fire winner VP really involved and ready to jump in at a moments notice. Having said that any of them would have my vote should they be the nominee.

[bendejo]

As I've said from the beginning, the 2019 part of the primary is strictly entertainment value.  Next November it could come down to Romney vs Holder.  DT, even if not removed by the Dems' impeachment effort, could quite easily be locked away and kept on thorazine by his own party.  Could there be a silent effort to support this impeachment by the upper strata of the GOP, so that they can clean their house and make the Dems the bad guys?  If DT is removed could Bloomberg run as a Republican?

 

From what I can see of any of the contenders, from either party, Bloomberg and Holder (both New Yorkers) are the only ones who can go blow-for-blow in the bs battles DT thrives on.  Eric is gonna have to dial up his "bad self" persona.

 

For certain reasons, which I will not express here, I don't see Bloomberg carrying a nationwide election.  I didn't see anyone in the last Dem debate who could either. 

 

Hold on to Holder 2020!

Wow..so you prefer that certain industries have no controls so they can pollute fore example and use their economic power to the benefit of their shareholder and the detriment of society.

You have it wrong. The republican party is the party tacitly supporting racist hate groups. 

The President himself is a noted racist and tacit supporter of conservative hate groups.

Only people on the left believe that, much the same way that they think science is on there side or that they’re really smart because they got a degree. 

 

As far as “The head pussy grabber...”, do you have you any real evidence that Trump goes around grabbing pussies uninvited?

 

Or were you talking about Bill Clinton? Remember him? The guy ABC killed the Epstein story to protect? 

 

The left call Trump a mother f’er and his daughter a feckless c-unt then turn around and accuse him of not sounding stately enough.

Donny is on tape telling us about his pussy grabbing exploits 

Science is on no side. It offers evidence. Many conservatives don't like the idea of fact based thinking so they are hostile to science. 

Sadly the cult leader trump verbally assaults people but was silent  aboutright-wing violence at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. The conservatives take their cue from the head racist. Hmm..I guess you have not heard about his racist past? Stop watching fox news..he mocks and belittles based on racial stereotypes. Oh and one of the first public mentions of the head pussy grabber was when he was sued for racial discrimination. 

Yep..head racist.

So the head pussy grabber does not sound stately to you but that is OK because someone  insulted him? He is supposed to be the president of the US and be presidential. 

I would be ashamed if my child acted like the current president of the USA. His personal behavior is a disgrace. If you would condone that kind of behavior from your own child I would question your parenting skills and judgment..but of course you would not allow that from your own child..Would you?

This is a lie. He did not comment on what he had done, but rather what he could do. In any event, I don’t doubt he’s grabbed his share of pussies, but uninvited?

So rather than attacking the left that is attempting to destroy his life and undermine his authority he should be banging interns and or ruining my medical insurance? No thanks. 
 

I wish he spoke more eloquently but I am more concerned about the leftward slide of the county. 

 

Why is there never a call for the left to tone down the rhetoric?

More koolaid? Maybe your reference is to the Jim Jones cult - The cult of trump is more likely to drink the koolaid. 

But exactly does that mean? If you are going to respond at least try and be clear about your meaning. 

Please explain. 

 

Trump on the recording says he  - can do anything   to women - just start kissing them ... I don't even wait and grab 'em by the pussy.  He is an admitted sexual predator. 

He has multiple sexual misconduct allegations which he has paid off to silence. He paid off a porn star..he is a disgrace to the office of the president.
