    Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has signaled he would consider jumping into the presidential race if Joe Biden (D) – who lost his status as the solid frontrunner in recent weeks – falters in the primary.
    He cautioned ahead of Tuesday evening’s debate that Democrat candidates need to tell voters how they will practically implement their lofty policy proposals.

    The former mayor said it is likely the next president will face a “closely divided Congress.” Because of that, candidates need to explain how they would implement their ideas – such as Medicare for All and their multi-trillion-dollar Green New Deal proposals.

    I think the cats out of the bag regarding how bad the Democrat candidates are.

    Last nights debate just confirmed it.

    Bloomberg may need to enter the race, perhaps as an independent to address this.

    Tulsi Gabbard may run independent, and Shultz too.

    As an example of how bad things are for the dems I submit the following clip from the debates...

    The dems are a wreck. Their candidates are absolutely awful.

    They could just take money from appropriations already approved for the military to pay for them, just like Trump is paying for the wall, instead of Mexico paying for it.

    So, while I fully support the idea that Dem candidates should come up with proposals, and they will, trying to hold them accountable while giving Trump a pass won't cut it.

    Imagine in a future debate, Trump asking the Dem nominee about how they want to pay for their proposals, and they respond by asking him how he paid for his wall and his tax cuts? That should be funny.

    I think wallstreet dems/donor class are not confident in Biden, and despise Warren.

    Bloomberg is right-they are promising everything but without a shred of evidence of how it would actually be implemented.

    Would love to see Yang or Gabbard in the general election. Would consider Bloomberg after hearing what he has to say as a candidate. Would settle with Warren.

    Not really interested in any of the others.

    Bloomberg is what supposedly Sanders and Warren hate.... Cant see how you favor Warren and then think about Bloomberg.

    I don't know enough about Bloomberg to favor or disfavor him. Warren is last on my list of acceptable candidates. I would be okay with her, but would prefer Gabbard or Yang, and possibly Bloomberg once he enters the race and starts talking policy.

    I'm also cool with Sanders, but I have a feeling his heart attack has pretty much informally disqualified him.

    We were assured by Trump FanBoys that it didn’t matter after Trump promised México would pay for the wall - they said those were just jokes and flippant statements that voters didn’t take seriously. So what is going on, Trump Supporters? Make up your ****ing minds.

    You mean like the usual GOP "plans" that economic growth is paying for tax cuts, i.e. they pay for themselves? Your side has ZERO credibility attacking others for lack of financial plans.

    Lol at "financial plans"-the economy is the strongest its ever been.

    Dems just aren't credible and their inability to articulate policy is one reason why.

    Warren will most likely be the candidate, I hope she taps Tulsi or Andrew.

    After her little stunt its the least she can do.

    Strongest it’s ever been?
    Manufacturing is in recession, the FED is engaging in QE, and the national debt is the largest it has ever been outside of a recession — do those things typically occur during a strong economy?

    You could say Trump isn't a details guy-but he gets it done.

    None of these clowns have a chance.

    Bloomerberg running as an independent will guarantee another 4 years of Trump destroying our country.

    Trump is making America great again, and Bloomberg is correct that none of the current dems have a chance.
