Bloomberg Wants Hillary Clinton as Running Mate

[chuckman]

I see this unholy union turning out in one of two ways, and looking at polling data, I go back and forth which way it would turn out: either a HUGE landslide victory, or a HUGE landslide defeat. In any case, not even close. I *think* with HRC on the ticket, the middle/centrist democrats will feel more comfortable voting for them, blacks/Hispanics LOVED HRC in 2016 so that would be a boon, and Bloomberg could pull in the left. The only counter is enough indies and republicans who see the danger and come out to vote, like they did in 2016, but there needs to be more turnout.

What remains to be seen is if the combined baggage of HRC and Bloomberg together would be so heavy for the DNC ticket to sink that as a possibility.

Then pray that Comrade Bernie is the nominee, and he takes the democrat party off the cliff. Otherwise, Bloomberg may be our worst enemy.

We have enough enemies here inside the US already. Four years should be a big indicator of that. Bloomberg will ban soda, guns and will make martial law permanent. You thought “stop and frisk” was bad.

Hillary is a transplant.

So where is she "transplanting" her lard-ass to THIS time, to make this work?

I honestly thought Bloomberg stood a real chance before this. If he really wants to tap Hildog for VP it should be a cakewalk for Trump in the general. It’s like they can’t figure out how many people absolutely loathe that woman and it will do nothing but help rally the republicans to get out and vote. So many people didn’t like Trump but were so anti Hillary that they held their nose and voted for him. That’s just going to happen again.

The left won’t allow another 4 years of Trump. They’ll find a way whatever the cost. At least that’s their position.

But if they take that to the ultimate extension... oh wait, hence the big Gun Grab pushing at the stat level.

Hillary was from Chicago, but is a New York transplant via Arkansas and Washington D.C.

I don't think some people realize what type of fight we have on our hands.

Bloomberg has a very likely chance at beating Trump.

Can you expand on how exactly? Other than outspending the competition, I don't see Bloomberg really exciting the base. Plus, he has significant political baggage (not that the mainstream media would report on)

I feel like Bloomberg will carry traditional blue states like New England, the Left Coast and Illinois, but the battleground states will remain the same. Red states are gonna red state, blue states are going to blue state.

I see Florida remaining "purple" though I don't think they'll flip to the DNC because Bloomberg really doesn't offer anything different. PA and MI I believe will stay Trump because of the infusion of new work. Same with Ohio. I could see VA turning back purple and possibly heading back to GOP hands depending on the DC suburb vote and the stupidity that's happening right now. I think CO stays blue along with NM. Nevada could be tricky.

I'm not sure the Democrats have a path or major campaign strategy in 2020 other than saying "we aren't Trump."

ETA: I'm not asking for argument's sake, but rather trying to figure out why you believe Bloomberg is the obvious choice.

Also, his radio ads are annoying.
