You think he would take more votes away from Trump than the Democrat?

Did no one prep Bloomberg about possible lines of attack? It looked like no one had ever spoke a cross word to him his whole life.

Yall are under the impression anyone gives a shite. The voters he is getting are not watching the debates, they can be gained thru his spending.

These guys have had shite thrown at them all over NYC, and they thrive. I doubt he is even worried about it.

Why he wanted in on the debate is just odd.

Honestly it is not unrealistic to see 2 independant canndidates...

The DNC really wants to boot out both Bloomberg and Bernie.

Bernie is too far left and Bloomberg is too far right.

It would be entertaining to see 4 realistic candidates in November- Trump, Bernie. Bloomberg, and whoever the DNC politburo picks.

Bloomberg would take the never trumpers (so 3% of the Republicans) and any non-socialist democrat (so like 35%). For those that think he is done, just wait till he starts paying off the union bosses for endorsements.

Bloomberg is a narcissist. You can't tell a narcissist anything, because they're brilliant, and everyone else are idiots. There's so much video/audio of Bloomberg shooting his mouth off, it's impossible to prep an excuse for each one.

Won’t happen. Him running as independent will only take votes from the other Dem.

Dream scenario below:

If Bloomie runs as an Indy, Dems could get eviseracted in blue states since their majorities would be split bigly to give Trump pluralities:



DC is a lost cause though and Vermont would still go for Bernie.

If he goes indy, that becomes a real danger in the general. He was never going to get democrat votes in any real numbers. But he could certainly draw enough Romney Republicans to hand the general election to the Dem nominee.
