To quote The Who (RE: Bloomberg)

[hangaleft]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Now, don’t get me wrong. If Bloomberg is successful in his attempt to buy the Democratic nomination, I will vote for him. But he would be the evil of two lessers, and I would hope and pray that he doesn’t become the new despot.

Just look at his track record and who he’s allied himself with in the past. THE ONLY THING BLOOMBERG HAS TO COMMEND HIMSELF IS THAT HE CAN BEAT TRUMP.

That. Is. It.

You’re really gonna support a guy who’s shown tyrannical tendencies of his own solely so he can unseat the tyrant currently squatting in the WH?

Call me crazy, but I want more. I want a president who is going to respect our institutions and ALL of our citizens and preside over the country with the best interests of the country and its citizens the only guideposts he or she refers to when making decisions which will affect us ALL.

I’m not looking for a president who’s seeking to add another trophy to his mantel place.

1. The guy can punch

I hope someone else emerges strong and Bloomberg becomes their campaign chair.

Obligatory I’m voting for our nominee

[UniteFightBack]

2. I'm already sick of this buying the election shit. If folks didn't support him or eventually vote

for him then he won't be buying shit. So if you really cared about stopping Bloomberg those folks would rally right behind Biden since that is Bloom's main competition....but no you want to persist...so don't blame me when we have a
Michael Bloomberg as President.

6. I'm having no problem considering Mike if my man falters

I'm still on the Biden bus but Joe hasn't really started off as Smokin' Joe. If he doesn't get good traction in these next two primaries I'm afraid my vote on Super Tuesday goes to Mike. The season is upon us and only those with their shit together move on to the next level. I don't have time for fckups.

8. Agreed. nt

3. We're not nominating a saint

We need to get Trump out !

[docgee]

4. The next president and Congress need to pass laws to prevent

the corruption and abuse of power that's going on now. Is Bloomberg that guy? Or will he take advantage of the new precedents?

[UniteFightBack]

9. No he will not do that. He is not a scumbag like dump. nt

5. Every vote is for the lesser of two evils.

No person is perfect -- no one.

7. Re that Who song -- look at what the Las Vegas Sun said about Sanders:
