Policy fatigue moved me to Team Mike

2020 if different. Democracy is at stake. To be honest any of these candidates are superior to Trump. None will have Stephen Miller or Bill Barr on thier team. That said and given the consequences , I'm so tired of policy debates or what he or she said last week or a decade ago. At this stage I don't care how you differ on health care, taxes, or climate. It's better than Trump. Period. Our nominee, after a protracted primary will be broke. Trump and GOP have about 200 million to start thier relentless campaign against our nominee. The emails and fundraising will be distracting. One Man, Mike Bloomberg can literally smash this asshole from now till Nov and he's already started. He's not trolling old tweets or video to disparage our candidates. No, he's simply savaging Trump where it hurts- his ego. Mike has money ( a dirty word I know) to destroy these dirt bags. In every stare. In every distirct. He will.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I only care about defeating Trump and the GOP. It would appear Bloomberg is becoming our best option to do that.

And I believe Trump is afraid of him. Pair him with Amy or Kamala and I think it's a good ticket.

After Barr's shenanigans this week - Stone case as well as the revelations of his interfering with Mueller etc. - we MUST get rid of Trump or our republic is truly lost.

With that being said, yes, he'll have my support if he's the nominee. And I do respect the fact that Bloomberg indicated he'd be heavily supporting the nominee even if he's not it.

I think Joe Biden hands down is the best and most qualified man to lead the country out of the trump abyss.
That said, if he doesn't start to get serious traction fast, he won't be our nominee, and if he is, he'll likely be seriously weakened.
So I'm seriously considering voting for Mike on Super Tuesday simply because he is in the strongest position to carry the fight to trump in the fall.
The next debate, which will include Bloomberg, will go a long way to help me make my decision.
If I had to choose today, it would definitely be Mike.

Someone who can slay the dark dragon trump and the dark tribal Republicans and looking good doing it.
So far Mike got it in spades

A relative was recently hired for one of Mike's California offices. When I asked what he thought about him as a viable candidate, he was very enthusiastic. He believes that Bloomberg may well win the primary and if he does, his campaign for the general will utterly destroy Trump. That is my fervent hope and #1 priority.

My vote-by-mail ballot is still sitting here unopened and I won't open it until I've made up my mind. Bloomberg's not my pick yet, but he's definitely on the very short list.

For those still making reference to Bloomberg's short history as a Republican, remember that he had always been a Democrat and switched only because the NYC mayoral race had multiple Democratic candidates, but only one Republican candidate. Switching put him in the spotlight and ahead of the pack. It was strategy, not a change in political beliefs and when questioned, he emphasized, "I am a liberal, I am a liberal, I am a liberal." Mike was a true RINO for good reason.
