5 - 7% of Democratic Primary Voters are Right-Wingers on Economic Policy and Bloomy is right up their alley ….His TV ad barrage is unbelievable …...

How is 3% jumping ahead of others at 3%? I thought 1=1, 2=2, 3=3 etc? Is CNN using a new math system of which we have not been made aware?

Bloomy is at 3% and suddenly surges past the others at the same percentage. It is indeed spin and nothing more.

we have a projected winner of the Democratic Primary..It is Republican Michael Bloomberg.
All of you fought a good fight but Bloomberg who has only been in the race for one week, a candidate who with all his billions has never contributed to a Democratic Candidate and who hated probably greatest Democratic Presidents in his life (JFK and Obama) will be declared the winner of the 2020 Democratic Primary.

Can we delete all those below Bloomberg? Really, even if they each have one of two good ideas, they really don't have the whole picture. So let's "set them free" so that we can all focus on the real candidate possibilities.

Bloomberg will be a flash in the pan- anyone against a living minimum wage is a DINO. Our country will see that rather quickly, as they become skeptical of another NYC billionaire with no experience in federal level politics.
