Buying the election? You mean Koch brothers or nra or other special interests. I rather a person spends his own money on the election then special interest groups.
I'd be ok with either Trump or Bloomberg being president. Bloomberg really knows how to attack Trump. He knows his weaknesses and is smart. He will rally people behind him by attacking Trump and being willing and able to make him look bad. Meanwhile he will be good for the economy and is not a 1970's era marxist like Sanders or a fraud like Elizabeth Warren.
Can't compare the FDR, Teddy or JFK as they all inherited their money. Bloomberg made his money from scratch and created a significant industry. That Reich wouldn't reflect the difference between those and even Trump who started on home plate and Bloomberg as a self made guy is just not recognizing the American dream.
Big mistake if true... Drudge Report: Bloomberg considering Hillary Clinton for running mate https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/drudge-report-bloomberg-considering-hillary-clinton-for-running-mate
Bloomberg probably isn't dumb enough to do this but I could absolutely see him going after some RINO senator as his VP. I've got a handle of bleach ready to drink if that ticket wins.
I don’t think a single member of the Bernie crowd would show up if Hillary were the VP choice. Not that she would be interested in the first place.... Bloomberg + Stacey Abrams probably beats Trump.
Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge said in a rare tweet, which he will likely delete, that the former mayor would go as far as moving his official residence from New York to Colorado or Florida, where he owns homes, so that he and Clinton are not from the same state during the race. LOL. This just seems like nonsense - no one's going to associate Bloomberg with anything but New York, given that his entire basis for his candidacy is as Mayor of NY. This seems like something completely made up.
We need people to unite the country. Having moderates on both sides of the same ticket might just do that
If uniting the country is your main concern then wait for the Olympics or the World Cup. If you are truly worried about political division then the way to cure that is to get rid of the two party system. Support candidates who are actually championing democratic reforms that will break the duopoly that necessitates polarization and partisanship. Nominating two Diet Coke Republicans on the Democratic ticket will piss just as many people off as anything.
Dude, even without Hillary within 10 miles of the ticket, most of the Bernie camp would stay home if Bloomberg is the nominee. He may be the only person more diametrically opposed to Bernie politically and personally than Hillary. Abrams or some other young progressive token VP might be able to salvage it, but christ that's a scary thought.
