46. We are never going to win over his base. It's the people on the fence that we can win.

Bloomberg is hitting Trump hard in places where Trump dominated in 2016 and that's Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Tomorrow I will vote for Mike with 7 of my buddies [View all] evertonfc Feb 2020 OP

I'm for Amy at this point in time but could very well end up voting for Bloomberg for one very BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #1

Actually my brother says someone he went to school with said that Bloomberg was a hell of nice guy Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #47

That's good to know. He's certainly a mixed bag of a guy. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #50

Also, in my husbands High School Mount St. Michaels...one of his classmates worked for Bloomberg and Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #58

Hopefully enough of that sentiment exists to counteract the negative stuff somewhat BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #59

Why pick Bloomberg over Biden? Prosper Feb 2020 #2

Because Biden is an increasingly unreliable performer? BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #14

Yep. Joe has lost more than a few beats. He's done, IMO. stopbush Feb 2020 #51

Cause he lost 2 states that had 4 neighbor candidates competing in them? The M$M uponit7771 Feb 2020 #60

He's just got a lot of stuff dragging him down, some of it not his fault. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #61

I don't think Biden is going to go the distance. cwydro Feb 2020 #27

Bloomberg is taking it to trump, for sure. MontanaFarmer Feb 2020 #3

I will wait until after the SC primary before I make my final choice for Super Tuesday still_one Feb 2020 #4

I think the only thing Bloomberg will do is further split the Joe, Amy, and Pete votes, and make still_one Feb 2020 #5

Yes, this will split the moderate votes and Bernie will end up with the most delegates. Thanks Mike. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #10

and I believe if Sanders is our nominee we not only will give trump another 4 years, but Sanders still_one Feb 2020 #13

It will happen and we will have nobody to blame but ourselves - falling for ads and tweets. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #18

Nah, I don't think that'll happen. cwydro Feb 2020 #28

He won't fade with his base, and the potential for others to split the votes still_one Feb 2020 #52

It is likely that they will be out after Carolina...super Tuesday for sure...those who fail to Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #49

I like Mike but judeling Feb 2020 #6

I'm not sure there would be any reason to do that. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #9

No quite at that level judeling Feb 2020 #17

I love seeing Bloomberg campaign in states that allegedly are not in play. Laelth Feb 2020 #7

The problem with that strategy Laelth is that all the states are in play during the primaries, and still_one Feb 2020 #15

The winner of the nominee is usually determined long before all the states vote. Kaleva Feb 2020 #33

Too many candidates in the race, including Bloomberg, and that bodes well for Sanders going into the still_one Feb 2020 #37

I can't vote someone like Bloomberg in the primary. Just can't. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #8

Bloomberg is up +6 on average. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #11

"Mike is the guy Trump fears" Mike 03 Feb 2020 #12

Of course he is. Bloomberg can buy the US with pocket change. Trump is jealous and it Nanjeanne Feb 2020 #26

Any other time I'd agree with you, but these are not normal times. n/t cynatnite Feb 2020 #21

I agree snowybirdie Feb 2020 #22

So if the electorate chooses Mike, you'll be happy? Kaleva Feb 2020 #30

Yes I will snowybirdie Feb 2020 #35

His campaign website has a great deal of info Kaleva Feb 2020 #36

Well said! pattyloutwo Feb 2020 #38

Someone sounds hangry. lapucelle Feb 2020 #56

Several times it was noted that since Mike is self funded he can't be bought. Prosper Feb 2020 #20

That was a huge argument people made for supporting Trump ibegurpard Feb 2020 #25

But we knew that Trump really wasn't that rich. Kaleva Feb 2020 #31

Doesn't matter ibegurpard Feb 2020 #41

His hardcore supporters didn't. progressoid Feb 2020 #42

We are never going to win over his base. It's the people on the fence that we can win. Kaleva Feb 2020 #46

I guess you missed the point. The rich guy got his way by helping one person and he felt good. 1 Prosper Feb 2020 #43

Thanks for sharing this redqueen Feb 2020 #23

I have the most confidence that Mike is the strongest NCjack Feb 2020 #24

I like your point. It takes a Bully to Beat a Bully. calguy Feb 2020 #29

When Trump says he would rather run against Mme. Defarge Feb 2020 #32

Yes larwdem Feb 2020 #34

"...we need a damn bully to take on this bully" customerserviceguy Feb 2020 #39

I voted for Mike as Mayor once (2005) Polybius Feb 2020 #40

If Biden's the Dem nominee, I'll vote for him. If Bloomberg is the nominee, I'll vote against trump. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #44

I hope he picks Amy Klobuchar as his VP whttevrr Feb 2020 #48

I early voted for Mike on the CA primary mail-in ballot. stopbush Feb 2020 #53

This makes me very happy. underthematrix Feb 2020 #55

This is way too early to be moving to Bloomberg. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #57
