Have you counted how many issues Bloomberg has flipflopped on? at140 Feb 2020 #210

So you don't believe the polls that show all of our candidates beating Trump? Doremus Feb 2020 #49

No I don't believe the polls for a couple of reasons...one they are national polls which say Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #78

I like what Sanders stands for. Not what Bloomberg stands for. ConorDem Feb 2020 #163

The Democrats should nominate s omeone who can win. Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #177

Bernie can win. He is like Obama with young voters and big crowds. ConorDem Feb 2020 #199

He won't win...that is my assessment...different election than 08 and Obama had way more than Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #200

How dangerous could he be? Seriously. Laelth Feb 2020 #22

I would vote for Biden...but if he fails Skya...the court will do worse to AA voters than Bloomberg Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #90

A well-expressed and cogent argument that should act as a powerful warning. We should not, dare emmaverybo Feb 2020 #50
