    I like that Bloomberg is staying out of that clown show and sticking with what he will do and his attacks on Trump about his lies....

    The mainstream media has all-ready picked up on this I heard it 2 weeks ago.

    Since Bloomberg announced they have been talking about his stop and frisk policy.

    Once again the Bernie Bros using tactics right out the Trump playbook, making the mainstream media the boogie man.

    The MSM loves Bernie, he is top of topic on any segment about the election.

    What Bloomberg said is meaningless when held to the Trump standard.

    bloomberg is no Teflon don. These are pretty damning quotes for a Democratic nominee. This, plus Amy getting roasted about her conviction of Myron Burrell - not a good day for moderates

    Bloomberg apologized for stop and frisk. That's a far bigger man than Trump.

    And if the decision was between him and Trump, then valid argument.

    He'd not a better option than the vast majority of DNC candidates. Tulsi might be the only worse one.

    You can't be serious. Midwestern disillusioned blue collared voter "why is Bloomberg the right choice?"

    "He has the money".

    "Oh...okay".

    Why is Trump the right choice? A fake billionaire who cares nothing for blue collared workers.

    Bloomberg is a far savvier politician than anyone else running. America doesn't have anything against rich people - the problem with Trump isn't that he is supposedly rich. Look at all the poor white people who vote for him.

    Already the black vote is split between Bloomberg and Biden. Maybe dems just want to get behind a winner. Bloomberg would have my support, especially if he is smart and picks Warren has his VP

    Yes he'd better than Trump. I didn't deny that. He's still one of the worst candidates in the DNC field.

    Sanders and Biden are worst.

    You can always tell who Trump fears the most. Just look at whom he is currently attacking.

    He obviously has a good sense for politics and he played Biden - the candidate he rightfully feared - seemingly out of contention.

    You may not care about Trump but the guy has podium and his attacks tend to be effective. He is going to compaign on platform of being a "winner" and DNC better present a candidate that can make a dent in that image (or at least put up someone who can project that image too) thus deflating Trump's base some. Bloomberg is not horrible choice imho. He is rich and thus knows how to take care of economy to paraphrase one of conservative posters here.

    I feel like he's the perfect candidate to put Bernie over the top to win the nomination. Bloomberg will weigh Biden, Pete, and Klobuchar down, while simultaneously giving Bernie the perfect punching bag for his campaign - a billionaire who bought his way into the campaign, spending half a billion on ads, to save himself from the wealth taxes Bernie/Warren have proposed. I don't think you could make up a better boogeyman for Bernie to stomp.

    Liz has a 3% wealth tax on 1+billion, Bernie has a proposal 8% wealth tax on people who have 10+ billion, Bloomyboy has 60+ billion dollars. His decision to drop a billion on his campaign was probably an easy one.

    A wealth tax just doesn't work for the man, it's just mean.

    Now get out there and vote for the man he doesn't want to be taxed.

    How is being rich some type of correlation with "taking care of the economy"?

    Bloomberg is a horrible choice.
