A thread for the adults: Democratic strategy

I saw some polling last night that showed a lot of Biden's black support migrating to Bloomberg.

 

Bloomberg's money is his own. He isnt trading favors and making commitments based upon who is funding his campaign.  I also think he is the best anti-Trump in the race. He had real success in the business world not six bankruptcies. He can smear that in Trump's face. He is a good street fighter that isn't afraid to punch fat Donnie in the gut. Most Democrats try and take the high road.

I dont love or hate Bloomberg - but I  pretty much feel the same way about all the Dems running.

I just don't want to see any kind of precedent set whereby the most successful candidate is the one with the most money. But I suppose the national motto is still and will continue to be "money talks."

 

It's true that Bloomberg has some cachet because of his business success. After all, look at the image Trump managed to promote, even though he's a fraud and a six-time loser! Somebody who actually succeeded without slithering away from debt, defrauding investors, or getting bailouts from Daddy would match up well with Trump, I agree.
