The larger point is that we aren’t throwing out capitalism. That clip is one we all saw. It changes nothing about my vote for Bloomberg.

You missed the larger point:
“I can’t think of an easier way to get Donald Trump re-elected than listening to this conversation. This is ridiculous.”

Still open to Bloomberg and Warren, doesn’t matter who is first or last as long as they are together!!

Sanders is not throwing out capitalism either. If Bloomberg came prepared like the rest of the candidates he would understand that. Buttigieg attacked Sanders based on financial viability of his policies. Others attacked him based on their perceived unpopularity.

Bloomberg should have delved more into how easy it would be to reelect Trump with Sanders because of the anticipated unpopularity of Sanders' policies.

Ignorant flaming accusations do not help the party. They don't even help the candidates unless his name is Trump. Bloomberg should do his homework before the next debate and come prepared to attack Sanders based on what Sanders actually believes not what Bloomberg (and Trump) hope Sanders believes.

I’m the PP who supports Bloomberg and I agree with the entire point you’re making. And when he says no one is throwing out capitalism, I do believe that means no one is suggesting we not have it - that includes Sanders. Yes, Bloomberg absolutely should strengthen his argument and position in the manner you’re suggesting and I hope he will as he receives critical feedback in the coming weeks. and not even attempt to pick up the MSM narrative or play into the game. That is what distinguishes him from the rest, to me at least. Aside from $60B in clean money vs Trump’s dirty $3-10$B

Bloomberg’s fortune is not clean. He earned it flogging those stupid data terminals to banker fat cats who live off of fees and charges made to our savings and 401k accounts

+60 billion
We have a financial transactions tax. We pay it to Bloomberg.

It’s still our money that he didn’t earn. He’s the Sheriff of Nottingham, if I remember my childhood stories well enough. He entered this race as a spoiler because Warren was running away with it and neither Bloomberg nor his other cronies want to pay their fair share.

Here’s how much money he has.

At this point, if he can knock Trump out and restore America, that is money well earned.

Bloomberg can absolutely win. For whatever reason, people will tune in to listen to an absurdly rich man speak about what he is going to do. No one wants to hear a 'woke' candidate speak because it feels like the mandated diversity training video you have to watch when your CEO harrasses someone.

I’m sincerely disappointed in you if you are dismissing Elizabeth Warren thusly. Seriously, that’s infantile.

Maybe she'll shut up about it now.

And this is yet another reason why I would vote for him today. Mea culpas have power; humility grants passage to wisdom, and we need those qualities for a President facing the toughest problems that no one else has solved. Much better to address the concerns of people than digging yourself heels in and backing a traitor. And — he respected his position to respect the NDA during the debate. He didn’t get ruffled by everyone shouting. I really do trust Bloom more than Trump.

How many NDAs have been signed by Bloomberg employees? This is likely a drop in the bucket just so he will get a response such as yours.

Sadly, Trump has lowered the bar so much that I have a hard time getting worked up about the NDAs. Not proud to have just typed that but compared to all that Trump has done, the NDAs sound downright wholesome

I think I have posted this over a hundred times on a hundred different threads: Why do you even have to compare when you have several candidates running in the moderate space? How do you pick Bloomberg over Biden if beating Trump is your main concern? Can anyone really argue that Bloomberg is more likely to beat Trump than Biden is? Can someobody please help me understand this?

Yes, because people who work as prosecutors or mayors or as public servants aren’t qualified to lead, only “businessmen” like our great president.

Ya pp I’m sure his ads will get him elected.

Don't give pp a hard time. He is simply a paid promoter for Bloomberg. It's his job.

I don't care. If he can beat Trump, he has my vote!

Serious question: If Dick Cheney and Jeff Sessions ran as Democrats would you vote for them just because you thought they could defeat Trump? How about Rudy Giuliani?

You so-called “Democrats” make me sick.

DP. Your refusal to acknowledge Bloomberg's contributions to the DNC, enabling them to flip the house in the '18 midterms, makes me sick.

So you’re just going to gloss over the fact that Bloomberg’s contributions in 2016 helped Mitch McConnell keep the Senate red. That makes me sick.
