    So does Bloomberg have a chance

    Don't know much about him other than he is very, very wealthy and is the former mayor of NYC. So can he make a run past the kooks already in the race?

    From what I have read, he will fit right in with them. Just have more money of his own but will still beg the little people to send him thiers .

    I fear him more than Warren. She is just a kook, and he is very dangerous.


    He wants your money. All of it.
    He wants your guns. All of them.
    He wants government to control your access to healthcare.
    He wants government to control every breath you breathe.

    Thanks, but I think I'll stick with Trump.

    Guess I better study up on him. He has enough money to run 20 or 30 presidential campaigns and have plenty left over and not need one donation. I did not know he was so extreme. Makes me feel better, last thing I would expect from the left is to let a moderate in the race.

    The good news---he did a lot of positive things for NYC during his 12 years as Mayor---many of which became painfully apparent when the current dufus showed up

    The city was controlled under the "nanny mayor". Now it is more like a free for all. As an example my drive time across the island of Manhattan takes me at least twice as long now, mostly due to double parking which has become rampant.

    The bad---he believes that he knows best and everyone else should follow his lead. He is very focused on health and that drove a ban on large soft drinks, an attempt to limit elevator use, smoking bans in any public land or building in the city----and worst of all gun control---he would trample the 2nd!

    Much of what he did and tried to do regarding health I agreed with---but it is not the place of government to do that.

    Just thought of this one---he implemented a restaurant sanitary rating system that gave letter grades--which were posted at the entrance of every restaurant---now that I was all for!

    I don't need a nanny, I am perfectly capable of screwing up my life without government interfence.

    Anyone who "knows best" doesn't know me.

    I don't need government telling me what I can and cannot buy in large sizes that are also available in smaller sizes.

    It wouldn't hurt my feelings if everyone quit smoking, but it is not my place, or the government's place to decide that. It should be left entirely up to the property owners.

    If he wants my guns, he can "come and take them", much as the citizens of Gonzales told the Mexican government in 1835.

    Still too early for me to choose an opponent to Trump. I'll let the primaries sort it out and then decide if the lead Democrat is someone I can support.

    He is far more dangerous than the California governor.

    Unfortunately for you your party is not giving you many opportunities for choice. If you decide you can't support the nominee and I completely understand you will never vote for Trump I fear that your non vote will be a vote for Trump. What a dilemma
