I'm not so sure.  The first time, I wrote in Mickey Mouse (because I couldn't spell Condoleezza Rice and thought that a fictional cartoon rodent would make a better choice than either candidate) but Trump has delivered on taxes, fossil fuels, deregulation, judicial appointments and confronting China.  I personally think the man is a loathsome idiot but his policies are largely conservative boiler plate policies.  In a perfect world Trump would be impeached and removed from office and Pence would take his place.  Otherwise I will probably be forced to vote for him this time around.

I'd start with a different news source first. Your claims are highly inaccurate.

I know it’s ageism, but I think I’d like to see one of the younger set, with Warren as the veep-who-is-listened-to (kind of like a not-evil Cheney). Mayor Pete is smart, but not that experienced. Personally, I like Steve Bullock; i think he brings a real ability to appeal to and work with a variety of political persuasions. We’re on a bad path financially; Warren understands finances, and Bullock will have some idea of what can actually happen. at least that’s my thought  

But I haven’t done any sort of in depth study, because I’m not a political animal, and am unlikely to do anything besides vote. 

Wendy P. 

I think he just dropped out.

 

Why is it so hard to find a candidate from the left that even has a chance?

I'm very disheartened in what is there to choose from.

NOW - Bloomburg is in the race and likely just ruined the chances of anyone decent getting in.

I'd quite like to see a Bloomberg / Warren ticket.

Haven't we had enough rich old white men mucking things up?

Personally, I think his views on a few issues have already doomed him.

^^^^^^ This!!

Looks like Harris jumped off the band wagon too.

I wonder what chance Bloomberg has to get the nod from the DNC?   It may come down to him or Biden.

He's got some odd positions on issues.

Smoking and soft drink laws wouldn't have any impact on me personally, so those are cool though.

His tax ideas would drive us deeper in debt, he seems to have an almost racist approach to policing laws, and he's an idiot on where we are with pot.

I still wish the billionaires that want change would simply use their money to support decent and skilled states-people that understand the process of policies.

I'm not too excited about Biden, but he is a significantly better option than what we currently have. Biden / Harris might get more support I think.

Who knows at this point though, so much flux happening.

I read a tongue-in-cheek proposal for what Bloomberg could do for the country:

Offer Trump $10B to resign.

- Bloomberg would still have 80% of his current net worth.

- Trump would finally have the net worth he claims to have.

It's a win-win!

AND - it just might work!

Biden / Harris is just not enough.

I don't see any candidates that can beat trump.

They need more and stronger support.

Do you guys really want a 3X failure at the top of your ticket?

HAHAHA - 

Well the Ukraine helping Hillary didn't work - sooooooo . . . Maybe they can help Biden this time?  (No, Not Hunter Biden)

Amy Klobuchar has long been my favourite in this crowd. But I did not believe she had much of a chance. It's beginning to look like maybe she does.

OK - So let me get this straight:

The Party of "Down with the Rich White Guy - We are all about Minorities" changes the rules to let the rich white guy in.  Because they don't quite have enough candidate vying for the chance to run against Trump.

One Oligarc traded for another?

[SkyDekker 1,465]

Bloomberg was asked, after Trump had tweeted about him a few times, what he thought about two billionaires fighting over twitter. His response was:

Who is the other billionaire?

Trump is not an oligarch. He has been very good at using other people's money and being used as a puppet.

The US has turned into an oligarchy, but I have brought that up in the late Bush or early Obama years. On top of that Americans generally seem to think that wealth equates to intelligence. Idiocy like that doesn't help.

So why do you think the left allowed B-Burg to buy his way into the election?
