Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bloomberg is dangerous. PLEASE don't let him win the primary [View all]azureblue
(2,146 posts)118. you totally ignore what Mike said about his campaign
He doesn't care if he wins. His goal is to take Trump down. And he will - Mike has the goods on Trump and the money to do it. and Trump can't touch him. Mike has already said he would throw his full weight behind whoever is the nominee. Funny how this isn't mentioned.
So what I say is dangerous is these FUD posts.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
