These guys are going to move in with the swiftness as soon as Biden falters and the Dems are left with a clear leftist (Warren or Sanders).

You're going to see something like a Bloomberg / Kasich or Kasich / Bloomberg "moderate" third party ticket backed by the likes of Romney, McMuffin, and all your favourite #NeverTrump media personalities.

They may try to run a 50 state campaign at first, but ultimately to avoid blowback from the left and the media, they'll settle on the same "McMuffin 2016 Utah / Virginia strategy" and only seek ballot entrance in states that can harm Trump but not Warren. States like Georgia, Virginia, Wisconsin, Texas, Arizona, Utah, North Carolina, Ohio... states that Trump has a greater than 67% chance of winning and where a split between Republican / moderate voters could only help the Democrat.

Please let them do this and destroy the Never-Trumper Rino faction once and for all.

POTUS Trump voters, MUCH MORE than 2016 realize that 2020 electioin is a binary choice.

Choice 1: vote FOR POTUS Trump

Choice 2: vote against POTUS Trump.

It is in fact even more binary for our side than the Lefties side.

I could see a LOT of lefty voters who would not be able to stomach the thought of pulling a trigger for the Persisted Indian but would rather do the protest vote....

Trump will nuke them from orbit. It's not even up for debate.

I think they have far less influence than you think

Trump won't lose a single fricking vote he got in 2016.


I don't know why it's so hard to understand this.

It's been quiet, but would Schultz reverse himself if Biden is out?

I could see Bloomberg and booker team up and run as a ticket in the dem primary but don’t see him run as a Indy.

It would be Bush/Clinton/Perot all over again!

Well, if the Never Trumpers want to be the target of Trump's Rally attacks and derision...then let them get some of it. Trump will expose them as essentially being a path to the radical Dems winning control...and therein...deserving of rejection and scorn.

Both barrels.

I've kept up with how Bloomberg operates for years. This is my assessment:

1. He does NOT want to run for President. He has a nicer life without the stress.

2. He has come to realize that all of the Dem candidates are friggin' morons. He is correct about this.

3. His alternative is to pick a new guy who can win and bankroll him since it's too late for someone new to do a lot of grassroots fundraising.

But he likely hates this country more than he enjoys his nice life. Patterns are patterns....

That's a lot of fail power committed to a coordinated action.
