[Election 2016, CF] Main candidates + Bloomberg

Bloomberg could pull from the middle in both cases, but probably pulls a lot more Dem votes than GOP. It would likely serve to hand the election to Trump/Cruz unless people ditch the Dem nominee completely.

 

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't vote if those were my only options.

 

Bloomberg would be last choice of any candidate for me.

 

No independent candidate would have a chance, including Bloomberg.

I would not vote for any of the above.

 

Of those listed, that I believe to be eligible to run for president, that aren't about to be facing indictment IMO, and that aren't a total and complete joke, I'd vote for Bernie Sanders....but I don't want to click that.

 

I think he would have been the perfect invalidation of Trump's candidacy and overall profile as he's a successful entrepreneur who was tolerant and modest enough to work with both parties, aimed for an office within his social and experiential wheelhouse and didn't deliberately exude self-indulgence and egotism at every turn for the last quarter century. But you need to run a state or work with a party, the presidency is too big to not win or operate without a large network. How neither he nor Giuliani served as Governor or Senator is beyond men.

 

Your poll is perfectly fine. If anything, remove Cruz.

 

I think he'd pull more from Trump actually. There are a lot of people that are conservatives that rightly hate Trump (who isn't a conservative in any way shape or form), but who also hate Clinton and who would not vote for someone as far left as Sanders.

I think a pretty good number of people around this camp might end up holding their nose and voting Bloomberg.

 

Not scared of legislation. Fundamental disagreement from a guy who forms Mayors Against Legal Guns and has armed guards shooting people. Making large sized cokes illegal but blatantly breaks laws whilst flying his helo to the Hamptons. Reminds me of people like you who support forced sterilizations and abortions of the poorest people in China based on junk science.

 

This.

 

I voted for Bloomberg because I'm intrigued by the possibility of a major independent run. That said I think it will be a very difficult race without a major party infrastructure. Also if Bloomberg wins I think it is a very fair question how he gets a legislative agenda passed without a Congressional base.

 

I heard you also like to molest kittens. Go ahead, prove you don't.

 

At this point I don't care who is elected as long as it's not Trump. If someone other than him emerges out of the GOP then America has already won this election year.

 

The only way Bloomberg has a shot is if the Democrats nominate Sanders (unlikely) and the Republicans nominate Cruz. But even then, it's a slim chance.

I have reservations about Bloomberg (stop and frisk, etc.) but I'd favor him more than those other four candidates. Cruz is legit scary...I outright despise the guy.

 

Well he supports top down population control so anyone who isn't r****ded knows the implications of those programs on the poor. Another great thing about Bloomberg was after "superstom" sandy, instead of taking the initiative to build infrastructure to protect the city against future storms he instantly blamed climate change.
