    Yeah, Bernie seems to be the one guy who people support on this. Maybe part of it isn't the idea, but the trust people have in who is pitching the idea?

      unlikely, but I will listen and he's the only dem I'd consider listening to.

        Its either him or Sanders right?. I cant see anyone else getting the nomination.

          If there was any doubt that Sanders has a stranglehold on millennial vote, it should be gone now that he has promised to legalize pot federally by executive order and expunge the records of those arrested for pot possession. That is, if those potheads can get off the couch and to the polls (I kid, I kid).

          Seriously, I don't use, but I think this move makes a lot of sense politically and ethically.

            I think Biden still has a small chance.

              In a move sure to win over FS, GITH, and Bernie supporters everywhere, Bloomberg is rumored to favor HRC as his VP.

                If that happens, brace yourself for 4 more years of Trump.

                I'm not Dissing Bloomberg (though there are many reasons, non billionaire related, to avoid him as a nominee, but HRC?

                That'd be his and the Democrats death knell should it actually happen

                  It would be idiotic for all involved.

                        I don't watch MSNBC, but my wife does, a lot. She tells me they really and overetly hate Bloomberg. I know MSNBC gets heat for being anti-Bernie, but to hear her tell it, they have it out for Bloomberg more. I wonder why?

                          Did she see Jasson Johnson on MSNBC defending Bloomberg against Nina Turner's claim that he was an oligarch? He then tried to claim that Bernie was part of the 1% and just as much of an oligarch as Bloomberg, as if they're in the same universe. Pretty sure Joy Reid (a homophobe and liar) was also singing Bloomberg's praises. I know Morning Joe is a top show on the network, and they have been very positive on Bloomberg, I believe. I don't watch enough MSNBC to be sure, I mostly watch reaction clips to their bullshit.

                          I doubt MSNBC has fully vetted Bloomberg yet. I'm hoping he gets exposed in debates before super Tuesday. Really hope he qualifies for the upcoming debate on Wednesday. I think a Biden-Sanders tag-team assault on Bloomberg would look great for Bernie. I believe Democrats transforming into a party run by and for billionaires is absolutely toxic to their brand image, so I hope he gets obliterated.

                            She doesn't watch Morning Joe. She said they have had folks playing up his questionable comments and policies, painting him as a racist and out of touch and buying his way in. I guess it is a mixed bag and she only saw one side of it. At least some of them seem to not like him getting involved. Maybe because it weakens the center lane overall. IDK.

                              The greatest thing that could happen for our country is for Trump and Bloomberg to run against each other. When two racist and sexist billionaires represent the two parties, maybe, just maybe, people will understand the Republican and Democratic parties are two sides of the same coin.

                              Trump was a registered Democrat in the early 2000's and switched to a Republican (again). Bloomberg switched to a Republic at the same time. Hmm...two sides, same coin...whatever I need to be elected!

                              i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.
