My brilliant FREE advice to Bloomberg and Patrick.

A lot of Dems are wondering why you guys are getting in the race so late.
You are not in the debates.
You are not going to get much coverage during the impeachment hearings.
So you need something big to talk about and get some media.

My big suggestion:
Hold a news conference on a day that there are no impeachment hearings.
Even a weekend, if you have to.
You will have signs, placards, bumper stickers ready to go of your TICKET.
You will announce your running mate.
That person will speak with you on the podium.
You will announce that the two you will be blanketing the country talking to Democrats before their states primary.

Who should they pick:
I say go for demographic and geographic diversity.
Bloomberg (NY) should choose either Harris (CA) or Abrams (GA).
Patrick (MASS) should choose Klobuchar (Minnesota).

They are already long shots.
So, why shouldn’t Bloomberg and Patrick make this unusual move?
It will get a lot of free media coverage plus two heads/mouths on the campaign trail.

Ok, DU boys and girls, tell me why I’m right or wrong with this advice.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Why in the world would any of these smart, talented women (two of them who, ya know, are currently running for POTUS) agree to that?! This strikes me as very dismissive.
