If the primary were between only Bernie and Bloomberg, who would you vote for?

[Tiggeroshii]

That, in light of the recent tapes that came out:

1. Bloomberg's scaring the progressives

I think he scares Trump too.

[Tiggeroshii]

22. I'm so sorry. Please disregard what I said. I was mistaken and a little dyslexic.

[redqueen]

23. THANK GOD

[HerbChestnut]

10. He's a billionaire trying to buy the election and supported Republicans as recently as...

...a few years ago over Democrats. Republicans he has supported includes George W. Bush, Susan Collins, and Pat Toomey. He also enacted racist policing activity in NYC. Do you also remember how he threatened to run as an Independent in 2016 if Bernie Sanders won the Democratic nomination? Bloomberg is everything this board is supposed to loathe.

[Red Oak]

24. I agree with you. Bloomberg seems the ultimate anti-DU candidate

Bloomberg is not my ideal of a Democratic candidate.

We have a slate of actual Democrats running. Excellent people all. Why not nominate one of them?

I'll take Biden any day over Bloomberg and Biden is my least favorite choice.

If you think Trump has been teflon Don, wait until you get a guy in power with actual money and brains. At least Trump is incompetent.

You think you will have ANY control over what a President Bloomberg does?

You think you will have ANY chance of getting progressive programs passed?

I don't.

[Fresh_Start]

26. yes, bloomberg will pass progressive programs for the most important issue

of our lifetime - climate change

[Hassin Bin Sober]

37. Agreed. The guy is on record saying cutting "entitlements" are the only way to fix our problems.

Hey, why can’t everyone work until they are 75?

[lapfog_1]

2. why does your post say bernie or bloomberg

but the poll says biden or bloomberg?

[Tiggeroshii]

4. Just got back from my lobotomy

Fixed!

[HerbChestnut]

3. Might want to edit that poll, Tiggeroshii.

[Tiggeroshii]

5. Done! :)

And thanks!

[YOHABLO]

6. This makes no sense at all.

[Tiggeroshii]

9. Which part?

[YOHABLO]

11. You just fixed it. Why you asking me.

[Tiggeroshii]

12. Thanks

[lunasun]

7. This sucks too

[redqueen]

18. How did this not go viral?

Jesus, even after When They See Us.

I was disgusted before. Now I'm just heartbroken.

[lunasun]

21. Why I think it does

None of the suspects' DNA matched the DNA collected from the crime scene (two semen samples that both belonged to one unidentified man)
No substantive physical evidence connected any of the five teenagers to the crime and years later a person serving a life sentence for rape matched the DNA and confessed he did it alone was my understanding . The biggest evidence was forced confessions

Saying if the courts ruled that way ....
And go read about it yourself is not a good answer imo

[Renew Deal]

13. Nice push poll

lol

[Tiggeroshii]

17. Thanks

14. warren ;)

15. whoever it looks like has the best chance at beating Trump..

Right now the polls seem to show both COULD.

This will (hopefully) be a "redemptive" election, but unlikely to be "dream candidate"... Frankly, I doubt I will live long enough to see all that I'd like to see in an ultimate successful candidate. I'll take whoever can effectively reverse much of the damage and give us an opportunity to get back on track for democracy. "Righting the ship" may well not include dramatic change in the next four years in the direction of the most highly progressive policies. Sometimes you have to start with stanching the blood loss.

[Happy Hoosier]

25. The only person in the field...

I’d vote for Bernie over is Gabbard. And I am NOT a Bloomberg fan. But I do think he can beat Trump.

[Fresh_Start]

27. 100% with you there all all three

same ranking as well

[LanternWaste]

28. I'd vote for the guy that offers me the most entertaining false dilemma.

As that popular fallacy seems the hippest of all these days. And I'm a sucker for what's hip.

[Fresh_Start]

31. I'm 100% sure if Bloomberg loses the nomination, he will step aside

and not disrupt the convention.

[aeromanKC]

29. Bloomberg crushes Trump

with bernie its a coin flip.

I am not going to gamble with America's future!!

[thesquanderer]

32. I ran the same poll Sunday...

at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287495148

and it turns out someone else had run it the previous week.

It will be interesting to see if/how this shifts as people learn more about Mike.

[Tiggeroshii]

33. Agreed.

It looks like there might have been a shift against him in this one, but still not as big as I had hoped if at all...

[samir.g]

34. Bloomberg has always been right about guns

If anyone can get real gun control through it is him.

[Doreen]

35. BERNIE

Would not even need to give it a second thought.

[renate]

36. I would love it if we had President Bernie Sanders

But I just do not see anything other than a blowout victory for Trump if he's our nominee. I come from the Midwest and I live on a coast, so I'm familiar with Democrats and Independents in both places... if it was just the edges of the country who got to vote, I'd prefer Bernie, but people in the middle get to vote, too, and we need a candidate who can beat Trump there as well.

[NedBraden]

38. The ONLY DEMOCRATIC PARTY choice

BERNIE.

I would prefer Klobachar , Biden Or Buttiegeg.....but am just about a NEVER "MIKE."

[andym]

39. I passed because I'm not sure

I suspect Bloomberg has the highest chances to defeat Trump and usher in a Democratic Senate. That's most important.

As for their policies I'd prefer someone who was emulating a Nordic social democrat (think Warren) over Bernie who is essentially a Democratic Socialist (social ownership). Why? Free enterprise is a large component of what made America great.

So, I'd be leaning Bloomberg, but I do like Bernie's healthcare and college policies.

[gollygee]

40. I like Bernie, but I'd vote for Bloomberg

I'm all about pragmatism this time around. I like Bernie better than Bloomberg but I don't think he can win.

[Gothmog]

41. Only 45% of voters would even consider voting for a socialist. 53% say no

42. My thought?

It will be Nina. Is she an Independent? Would she have to change parties if she were selected?
