We are a Center/Left Country. We need a Center/Left Candidate. Focus on who is voting in November. For those who lean more left focus on a strong, progressive, Dem woman to run as VP. Harris or Abrams would be amazing as VP.

That is why I will vote for Bloomberg before Sanders. Conventional wisdom is usually right.

A lot of people specifically did not want to vote for Hillary, even if they weren't thrilled with Trump.

Clearly, Hillary had a different appeal than Sanders or Warren, and so the non-Dem voters they appeal to can be different... but that doesn't mean we can assume whether it will be more or less with this alternate group.

So, who has he chosen as his preferred candidate so everyone else can drop out to make him happy?
