    Bloomberg has great economic experience and is a lot less crazier than others but is he in touch with the common man? Mayor Pete seems a genuinely good guy, relatively inexperienced but as Trump shows that's not absolutely essential. Biden by contrast has great experience and very moderate but increasingly comes across as a doddery if genial old uncle. Warren seems delusional and Bernie increasingly reminds me of Mel Brooks doing his cranky old Jewish guy act.

    I go for Mayor Pete, he's a military veteran, he's gay so the extreme fringe can't criticise him, he's young and he's moderate.

    We already have a Democrat as president. Democrats don't like him.

    Bloomberg, he knows business like Trump, a progressive who knows business I think could bring the balance between a common American citizen who works for a living with the big corporate gargantuan. There will be a fair share of wealth with Bloomberg I suppose.

    The gap that needs to be bridged is between reality and progressives.

    Yeah, but with the corporate idealism of a bullish stock market and increase in share prices, I could not see even a glimpse of light if they would consider sharing a bit of their profit with those guys who contributed with their suppose success. I know the company should survive but as I see it they are already enriching thus a lot of American citizens both in urban and rural areas became needy for the proceeds of the economy only benefits the few and not the entire multitude.

    Good choices...... Andrew Yang had serious potential.......... I am Canadian and I am biased.... but I do believe that President Bernie Sanders would behave with at least some courage in continuing with some of the very positive changes that President Trump has made. President Bernie would be more likely to be able to do something with this basic concept as well?

    President Trump may wish to coopt some aspects of the Andrew Yang campaign?

    I do have a somewhat similar idea floating around up here in Canada that I worded in such a way as to at least attempt to gather some support across the political spectrum:


    Would a Basic Minimum Income dramatically reduce abortions?

    This is an exceptionally insightful statement Rober E Allen!!!!!!!!!

    Did going bankrupt in '91 prepare Mr. Trump for the Presidency?

    Bloomberg is racist, Islamophobic and misogynistic.

    What is not to like?

    More like Grandfather for me! I guess it's age dependent.

    Which "extreme fringe" is that?

    Not on abortion.

    I would want the most-moderate Dem candidate. In other words, I’d like the candidate that the Dems will do everything in their power to sabotage, because the DNC has gone progressively insane, and is riddled with corruption.

    She is the most outspoken "forever war" critic there is out there. And the establishment hates her for it.

    Without much enthusiasm, I'd choose Bloomberg.

    I like Bernie, personally, but because I like someone who, like me, was strongly against the Vietnam War, doesn't make him a good choice in 2020. His socialistic agenda would be an absolute flaming DISASTER for the United States.

    Bloomberg is actually pretty smart. He actually knows WHAT an economy is, and he built a very successful, huge business using his wits, and his brains, amassing a fortune that Forbes estimates is FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS....

    Indeed, Mike Bloomberg is in a different league altogether from blithering, bleeding-heart, lock-step liberals like 'Dizzy Lizzy' Warren or 'Zany Amy' Klobuchar. He is VASTLY more experienced as a governmental manager than a fly-weight, like Chasten's cute little wife, "Petey". And, yes, Mike would make a much better president overall than a socialist like ol' Bernie. So, Mike Bloomberg... right?

    That said, I'll still take Donald Trump over all of them, even though I dislike a number of Trump's actions and policies. It's just that every one of the Democrats, including Mike Bloomberg, is so very much WORSE....
