Great quote by Bloomberg

[RandySF]

“I’m running against Donald Trump — they’re running against each other. And my polls are going up, and their polls are going down. If I were them, I’d change their strategies.”

— Michael Bloomberg, in an interview with WPRI, on his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination.

1. Bloomberg

No one ever accused Michael Bloomberg of being stupid. His exclusion from the early states (Iowa, New Hampshire) is allowing him to stay above the fray. I have seen his ads on TV and they are effective and focused on cutting down Trump. He is correct that right now the Democratic Candidates are fighting each other and are not focused on beating Trump. I am not a fan of Bloomberg's in a number of ways, and do not appreciate that he is attempting to buy into the Democratic nomination with his money instead of doing any grassroots work. That said, I would vote for him over Trump in a heart beat.

2. Exactly ....

they constantly have to defend themselves against each other. They are doing trumps job for him.

[babylonsister]

3. He has no shits to give. I love that. And he's

not a moron.

4. Biden's been running a general election campaign since the beginning.

He understands what the real threat is and has tried to keep the focus there.

Some of the others have tried to focus on the big picture as well, though perhaps to a somewhat lesser degree - Buttigieg, Steyer, Klobuchar. Or maybe they just don't get as much attention.

12. Biden and most of the others have

Bernie not so much. His grievances seem to be mainly with centrists.

5. Bloomberg stands above the party shoot out.

6. This is EXACTLY what I have been seeing all rolled up into 1 quote.

Bloomberg is smart as hell and knows what he's doing. It's unnerving his rivals bc it is unprecedented for a democratic contender. Like it or not, his out of the box thinking and approach IS showing results. Can't deny that. And he can beat Trump and that peaks my interest.

[NedBraden]

7. Yeah, ok.....

Can't get past how he treated African Americans in NYC.

[katmondoo]

8. He better start working on that if he wants to keep going.

Do people not think most African Americans have families going back to the Revolution. How many Whites can say that.

[jcmaine72]

9. Anyone else happen to catch this direct quote from Bloomberg as well?

"We disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little".

Obviously not as great as his quote in the OP, but arguably just as memorable.

10. Bloomberg is the least progressive choice in the race in my estimation. nt

11. I tend to agree. There is only one issue this year.

We have to vote Trump out. Period. Everything else flows from that.

We can't be arguing about subtle intricacies of each candidate's health care plan. If he doesn't leave, we won't get any healthcare.

Stick together and focus on the goal.

13. the candidate who points out talk radio as a problem not only gets my vote, she'll get

wildly attacked by right wing media and their trolls screaming "free speech!" and will get more mainstream media attention

and i'll feel that my GOTV efforts would not be yelled over by some lying racist dipshit on the local radio station
