re: #377 #thegreatpoolpondconversion (dangerman)

if i had the luxury of this being an ideological and restructural election, i would prefer warren. she’d be a better president/administrator - ie presider, than sanders. mayor pete has shown great promise and has done very well. he isnt ready yet.

i don’t feel i/we have that luxury - the ‘what if’ / ‘if only’ candidate.

so (imo) biden, bloomberg.

i think the ‘small d’ that lefty said above is true.

biden could be a great stabilizer. he’s been smoldering up to now. If he doesn’t catch fire after SC, then I don’t think he can get it done (get the nom and decisively trounce trump). Another Democratic statesman with years of experience, 8 as VP, that not enough want as president. wow.

Leaving bloomberg.
calm, experienced, willing to learn/listen/adapt.
can easily run a bureaucracy.
and hopefully do a fair enough job at foreign policy if he surrounds himself with smart people.

logistics, campaign finance, etc are not issues for him so his only focus is on making the numbers

every one of them has flaws and history. i dont care about any of it. or purity. i more or less accept them all at face value. any of them is way over trump’s head.

at the moment i think bloomberg can get it done and then do the job.

I do trust Bloomberg more than most since I don’t think he’s a fanatic and I think we need a President and not an ideologue. A lot will depend on South Carolina and I’m feeling good about SC for Joe. What it means for Big Tuesday, I don’t know yet. I do know this. I think Joe’s more likable than Bloomberg is and better at the retail politics stuff that could give him the edge. However, I do think Bloomberg is savvy at ads and I wouldn’t mind that against Trump.
