2020 Presidential Candidates

[Rogar]

And now there might be Bloomberg? I could see where he could edge out the present top contenders. I guess he is undecided about going all in so far.

[Yppej]

If Bloomberg knocks out Biden I would be happy.

[bae]

If they run Bloomberg, we'll have another 20 years of Trump

[jp1]

Someone needs to quote nancy reagan to him.

[Tybee]

I'm confused about Bloomberg. I thought he was a Republican. Then Wikipedia says he is a Knight of the British Empire. How is that possible?

[Rogar]

I don't know enough about Bloomberg to pass judgement, but he seems to be strong on environmental issues which is pretty much my preferred platform. He has a science background and has pledged to give away large portions of his billions. I'd suspect he is less likely to be labeled a socialist than some of the others and I've not heard of him proposing huge taxes to pay for an unlikely health plan. I suppose part of his downfall is being a product of the wealthy coastal elite.

The reason I hard that he was running is that he did not see anyone else well positioned to beat Trump.

I like Bloomberg!

[LDAHL]

I would assume this would be bad news for Biden as it adds another name To what passes as the centrist segment of the party.

And now there might be Bloomberg?

I wonder if his platform will include a national ban on big gulps, black roofs, cell phones in schools, yard waste, sodium in processed foods, transfats and loud headphones?

I'd forgotten about those things, although they seem far less significant than making arms deals in order to dig up dirt on a political opponent.
