50 billion bucks. That's it. Now, I'm voting for Biden or Pete here in Tennessee. But let me opine. Mike isn't the best candidate. In a normal election cycle he would not be relevant. When our democracy is at stake, absolutely anyone is better than Trump. Anyone. We will be starting out against a party that may have 250 million on hand to swamp us with propaganda. Mike doesn't have to fundraise. He can literally write a check for 2 billion and own every single advertising vehicle. He's tough and the idea that our guy is richer than thier guy, although a very vain and inappropriate argument, will make Trumps head explode. The case for Bloomberg is simple. 50 billion bucks. Purity aside.

1. The idea of selling our nomination to the highest bidder

is repulsive to me.

it is to me. Trump is repulsive to me. A self funded candidate, at this moment, is ok with me.

5. FWIW, his ads help ALL Dems

and I think that's what he intended. Nevertheless, this belongs in the Primaries group, not here.

10. Republicans are gearing up for:

Biden: Lies about Ukraine / Biden / Russian Propaganda
Sanders: Socialist / Fracking Ban / Job killer

I don’t know if they are prepared for a Mike Bloomberg. Whatever Bloomberg wants to convey to America he can do it repetitively with billions. However, Democrats are more concerned with policy purity as opposed to strategy.
