A Bloomberg/Warren ticket could be unstoppable

[GanjaGrower]

I would love to see this happen. Despite some of their policy disagreements I really think they would be a formidable challenge to Trump as they would unite both the moderates and progressives. Bloomberg is a New Yorker and knows how to handle Trump, plus he’s got the money to outspend him. Warren would be a fantastic VP. Not having to focus on the foreign affairs/strategic policy making would free her up to focus on environmental and minority issues, which is really her forte (I think she has a better handle on that kind of stuff than any other candidate).

[relayerbob]

1. Sorry, but HAHAHAHAHA

[ancianita]

2. They are also incompatible.

[Cal Carpenter]

3. ...

[HerbChestnut]

4. Do you really think Warren would accept a VP position from that guy?

Time to get off the Bloomberg ship, Warren just sank it.

[still_one]

5. especially after tonight

[Moderateguy]

7. Bloomberg got in the race because of Sanders and Warren

He did not like the idea of them being the dem nominee so I doubt he’d offer a VP slot to Warren if he were the nominee

[mahina]

67. Maybe, maybe not.

[GanjaGrower]

10. I think she would consider it after dropping out

She knows beating Trump is the primary objective, and I think she would understand how strong this ticket could be.

[HerbChestnut]

17. LOL, Bloomberg isn't going anywhere after tonight.

[Vivienne235729]

26. Outside of the DUverse, people are not sitting there glued to the debates.

And they will forget about it in a week. Bloomberg has only JUST begun. The fact that he started 3 mo ago and is standing up there polling in the top 3 speaks volumes.

[redstateblues]

29. I'm a political junkie and I hate the debates. It's a waste of time.

As if someone’s going to catch on fire and and gain 20 points

[VarryOn]

57. Correct...

I tried discussing the debate with a handful of coworkers at various times today. None had watched it. About 60% of the ones I asked were Dems. The others were Reps who are political junkies who I thought my have watched.

Just not as much engagement in the political process as I would have guess at this point.

[Vivienne235729]

60. So did the Repubs watch it at all? How do they feel about Bloomberg?

Or are they pretty apathetic at this point? Though, fatigue should not be confused w apathy. I am occasionally guilty of the fatigue part myself.

But, I am curious as to what conservatives think about Bloomberg.

[VarryOn]

61. I'm curious as well...

But in my small sample (six), none had watched.

I have to think, though, Bloomberg has appeal to those Reps who don't like Trump or even Dems who fall in the meaty part of the political spectrum bell curve.

Today's electorate is hard to figure out, quite honestly.

[Vivienne235729]

62. It is. I'll have to figure a way ro ask repubs in my world what they think of Bloomberg

W/o it being awkward as it has been 3 yrs of an unspoken understanding that politics is completely off limits.

[VarryOn]

63. There's a lot of reticence among many voters...

There are a lot who wont engage in political discussions like they would at at one time. Rather regrettable if you ask me. I love a good political verbal spar. Doesnt happen much anymore.

[Vivienne235729]

72. To be fair, conservatives are one thing & cultists are another entirely

You can talk, reason and discuss w conservatives but not so much w cultists. I saw too many cultists and ended up deleting them from my fb. Just couldn't listen to one more cry about fake news when presented w facts. If you find some reasonable conservatives and talk to them, please post it. I'd love to hear what they have to say.

[Merlot]

30. All Warren would have to do is give up all her principles and beliefs

in order to accept a VP slot with bloomberg.

[Garrett78]

6. Do you write for The Onion?

[Bradshaw3]

13. Ha!

Good one.

[CentralMass]

8. They are IMO politically incompatible

[33taw]

9. I don't think Bloomberg would be the top of that ticket.

[mspickles]

11. I dont see that happening

She beat him up bad, I do hop that Mikey will just drop out and throw his money her though

[rso]

12. Bloomberg

Bloomberg/Stacy Abrams would be my Team.

[GanjaGrower]

18. Stacy would be my second choice

But Warren is obviously a bigger name and has much more experience.

[2naSalit]

14. Yes as they plummet engulfed in flames to absolute failure. ...nt

[jcgoldie]

15. I would like "Completely Ridiculous Bullshit for 800 Alex"!

[Hoyt]

16. If they appointed a really good Secretary of State and AG, maybe.

[RockRaven]

19. Sorry, but voters who are strong with the cognitive dissonance tend to vote Repuke...

[uponit7771]

20. .... for Trump. there, fixed it for yah

[dware]

21. ......

Wait, your're serious?

[GanjaGrower]

23. Why not?

We have to think outside the box!

[dware]

27. Yeah,

but not outside the realm of possibility, which your thread is.

[Sloumeau]

22. I think that you are more likely to win the Powerball lottery...

then for that to happen.

[ecstatic]

24. No way. This is a guy who couldn't even take 10 minutes

out of his day to prepare for the debate.

Why the hell would she play 2nd fiddle to that?

She should pick Sens Kamala & Cory, Stacey Abrams, or Castro.

[Jirel]

25. Bwahahahahaha!

Nope. Ain’t gonna happen. Liz wouldn’t dirty herself that way.

[HelpImSurrounded]

28. Over my dead body

#NeverBloomberg

If this party capitulates to the Elephant I will finally have reason to emigrate away.

[Bayard]

31. Warren pretty much beat Bloomers about the head and shoulders tonight

He'll be sinking fast now. Everybody had their curiosity satisfied.

And he'd never ask her to dance anyway.

[Tien1985]

32. I don't think that is remotely likely

And for that I am grateful. I have too much respect for Warren and wouldn't like to lose it.

[SamKnause]

33. WTF ???

Have you been paying any attention at all ???

[Democrats Ascendant]

34. Could you pass the dutchy to the left-hand side...?

[blm]

35. 😄

[MoonlitKnight]

56. Not just a grower

He’s a consumer too.

I miss Colorado sometimes.

[Raine]

71. Too much sampling of the product 🤪

[dawg day]

36. How about Warren at the top?

Oh, right, Bloomberg is a billionaire... and A MAN.

[dumptrump1]

37. agreed!

That would be the best way to unify the party!

[Dem4Life1102]

38. Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fund would be more realistic

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.

[Voltaire2]

39. You know he imploded last night, right?

[BlueMTexpat]

40. ...

Not gonna happen! Ever!

[jmg257]

41. The way she went after him, I think she was ready to take a shower from just standing next to him.

Doesn't seem she buys his BS all that much, and he did not help himself trying to poo poo it away.

[sigh144]

42. Bloomberg was destroyed.

Get on board the Sanders Train.

He's heading to Milwaukee with the most delegates.

IF the DNC wants to broker the nomination away from the guy with the most delegates were gonna lose anyway.

Bernie Sanders deserves the nomination.

[Johonny]

43. it's obvious one of these moderates and one of the progressives

makes the most unifying ticket. THe dems failed to do the obvious in 2016 and it cost them. And yes many VPs and Ps didn't get along. That means nothing, nothing. See Reagan-Bush.

[Nanjeanne]

44. Unstoppable in that Warren is a vote I'd cast easily and Bloomberg is a vote I'd have

great difficulty making. Yup.

[MineralMan]

46. Since it's very likely that our Presidential nominee will

be in his 70s, the most successful VP choice will be someone younger, but popular. In 2020, people are going to look at the ticket and see who would take over if an elderly President dies, and who might be the candidate in 2024 if the new President serves for just one term. So, who are the obvious potential VP choices, among the current candidates?

Pete Buttigieg - He has had some good success in his campaign, and certainly fits the youthfulness model.

Amy Klobuchar - She has also done well, recently, is young enough, and is also a woman, which is another plus.

I'd bet on one of those two, whoever the nominee for President is.

[MiniMe]

47. I'd put Stacey Abrams in there for Veep

She is a woman, and she is black.

I just don't see Warren/Bloomberg as a match. Who would be Veep? I don't see either of them being willing to not be on top of the ticket.

[lindysalsagal]

48. Trying to imagine which one loathes the other more....

Might as well marry The Scarecrow to the Wicked witch!

[blm]

49. You do not know either candidate.

It is apparent in your post.

Your claim that her forte is environmental and minority issues is very odd. Yes, those are issues she is concerned with and has strong plans to address them with urgency, but, it is fairly well known that Warren’s ‘forte’ is unmasking the corruption in the financial industry that affects most every other issue.

Odd that you wouldn’ t be aware of that at this point.

[MoonlitKnight]

50. Unstoppable

Yet unstartable.

[doc03]

51. That's not going to happen nt

[rickford66]

52. Only if Bloom did like GWB and let his VP run the country.

[johnnyplankton]

54. Is this The Onion?

[Garrett78]

58. Beat you to it. See post #6. :)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. Warren ripped out Bloomberg's spine and beat him with it.

Somehow I don't think he'd want her on the same ticket with him. Or vice-versa.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

59. Time to lay

off that ganja.😜

[customerserviceguy]

64. Pass the bong

After last night's debate, Bloomberg doesn't ever want a damned thing to do with Sen. Warren. She gutted him on live TV, and his ego won't ever forget that!

[KPN]

65. Lol. What planet are you from?

[mahina]

66. Respectfully, you could say the same of any current candidate and Warren w

In my opinion of course. Cheers!

[Buzz cook]

68. Don't think Warren wants Bloomberg as her VP.

Just the impression I get,

[counting]

69. you posted this too early...

april 1 is still over a month away

[Raine]

70. Lay off the ganja

it's affecting your brain.
