    I guess he'll jockey for space at the bottom of my preference pile. Above Tulsi Gabbard, but I can't decide if I dislike him more or less than Biden.

    Policies and personalities aside, Bloomberg seems to still have his wits firmly about him. He would be fomfomitable in a debate.

    couldn't say at all what bloomberg must look like from the outside. didn't agree with many things he did as mayor but he is a super capable guy and very pragmatic (something it seems we could use right now).

    He would make a good president.

    Presidents should not always cater to one constituency.

    The man has actual legit experience governing.

    Bloomberg is **** blocking Pete. Those voters seeking an alternative to Biden who is somewhat moderate and stable are now divided. The only winner from Bloomberg jumping in it... is Trump. The dems are still set to put Biden in the ring with Trump... Biden... who thinks malarkey is a relevant term. lol doesn't Biden's campaign bus has the definition written on it? Just to make sure people get it. That said Pete was their most viable... now I think he should hang it up.

    Bloomberg is for those who want their billionaire funded talking points straight without the pretty middleman Mayor Pete.

    Billionaire Bloomberg is planning to go big in Texas. https://www.texastribune.org/2019/12/28/michael-bloomberg-texas-staff-office-openings/

    There goes our right to occasionally have a "Big Gulp" at the Circle K.



    Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is ramping up his efforts in Texas, with plans to build a state operation that his campaign says will be unrivaled by anyone else in the primary field.

    In an announcement first shared with The Texas Tribune, his campaign said it will open a Texas headquarters in Houston and 16 field offices throughout the rest of the state between now and the March 3 primary
    • Carla Brailey, vice chair of the Texas Democratic Party, will serve as Bloomberg’s senior advisor.
    • Ashlea Turner, a government relations consultant who worked on Bill White’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign, will serve as Bloomberg’s state director.
    • Kevin Lo, who worked on presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ Iowa campaign before she ended her campaign earlier this month, will serve as Bloomberg’s organizing director.
    • Lizzie Lewis, communications director for 2018 gubernatorial nominee Lupe Valdez, will be Bloomberg’s press secretary

    ^^^ Smart. Texas can be flipped with a shrewd moderate. Trump vs Biden in Texas is close to a coin toss.

    Arguably smart and moderate, but completely lacking charisma. I guess we will see if just sheer money and advertising will do it for him.

    It's just hard to see Bloomberg as a real viable candidate if he doesn't appear on tv in a debate with the other democrats.

    I actually like Bloomberg a lot. If there is a billionaire in white house, I want him to be that person, not the crazy agent orange.

    He's a better option compared to Biden but I really don't care for either.

    I really don't think debates mean that much anymore especially when you promote yourself through ad buys.

    I think the real test comes when there are only 2 to 4 people debating.

    A couple of townhalls would not hurt.

    Only Abraham Bloodgood has done more for Ithaca than Michael Bloomberg.
