In reply to the discussion: Michael Bloomberg Is Expected to File for the Alabama 2020 Presidential Primary [View all]BumRushDaShow
(127,288 posts)40. Why would "Democrats" do such a thing?
And I was about to reply to your earlier post that you self-deleted but here was my response to that post which would be applicable here too -
"Democrats, please do not vote for a billionaire carpetbagger who has no governmental experience."
He was the mayor of the largest city in the U.S. for 12 years, after he bought his 3rd term so he most certainly does have "governmental experience" (in contrast to the thing in the WH right now).
But I think that "Democrats" know that he was a Republican before he was an Independent before he was a Democrat, and his "constituency" would be moderate Republicans and Independents (he is socially liberal and fiscally conservative).

OP
I feel discomfort with self absorbed billionaires who think they can be president.

He's more likely to pull away from EW and sanders due to their stance on wealth tax
