Michael Bloomberg 2020 campaign megathread

[Sir Mohamed]

I have nothing against him personally, but wished he stayed out of the race. I predict his campaign won't go anywhere, no matter how much the dude is spending. Sure, I would vote for him in a GE as Dem nominee, but other Dem candidates are better.

His nomination would be funny to troll Mr. Trump, though, because Bloomberg is a lot of things Mr. Trump likes to be, or pretends to be. But I would be concerned about his electability due to a lack of excitement. And I'm not just talking about Sanders supporters he would have a hard time with.

I put him in the same category of candidates as Patrick- i.e., people that have significant advantages (whether it be establishment support in the case of Patrick, or money in the case of Bloomberg) such that had they entered the race 8 months ago and campaigned for real, it's very possible they could've been formidable and made a serious play for Biden's "lane."

But it's obviously way too late for that, and I suspect they know that... after all, say what you will about them, but one thing they aren't is stupid.  So unless they really are just delusional for whatever reason, I hate to sound all conspiratorial (I typically despise baseless speculation like this), but in this case I do have to admit to wondering if they have some unstated, secret motivation in all this.

This is the problem with Bloomberg, Biden, Harris, and any of the establishment goons. What about making people's lives better? It's all about slamming Trump and who can best "piss Trump off" to the Democratic elite who don't care at all about their voters.

Let's see if Bloomberg gets hounded day and night about a potential third party candidacy like Tulsi has been, though. Will the DNC care if it's Bloomberg running third party against Sanders?

Has Bloomberg said anything yet about his plans for appointing Supreme Court Justices? I just read an article on Axios about Bloomberg's stances on various issues, but nothing was said in that article about the Supreme Court.

No, Murphy was way to Bloomberg's left.

That doesn’t describe Harris at all.

And let’s not act like voters are voting based on policy and what somebody will do for them. They will go vote if they think their candidate is cool and worth their time to do so.

"How many delegates will Bloomberg win?" would have been a more interesting question.

Yes, Denver Riggleman lost and Morgan Griffith lost by a landslide.

Most likely the same answer.

Everything past the Hudson is the same to a New Yorker.

He would get at least a couple superdelegates
