Now that it is coming back to bite them with Bloomberg's ability to spend his own billions to get elected they are unhappy.

Bloomberg, IMO, has what it takes to fight Trump toe to toe, dollar for dollar. In my opinion, beating Trump IS and should be the major goal of the 2020 election.

I don't see how any of the programs the other Democratic candidates propose would stand any chance of getting passed with McTurtle in the Senate and Trump in the White House.

Hell, they STOLE a SCOTUS seat from President Obama and although the House under Pelosi's leadership has passed hundreds of bills they are all bottled up in the Senate because of MoscowMitch.

FIRST, we need to get rid of Trump then we can start working on other Democratic priorities.

I would be happy if we accomplished electing a Democratic President and VP (lots to pick from the current candidates) then work between 2020 and 2024 to elect Democrats to every Congressional seat the comes up.

With a President and VP in 2020, we would establish the real possibility of 8-16 years of Democratic governance to implement programs to help ALL Americans not just the top 1%.

FIRST, BEAT Trump.

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