Let's analyze Bloomberg logically.

When I said Bloomberg is a Republican you said he is a Democrat and Wharf told me to "cut the crap".

Here is my explanation. Bloomberg is 77 and he was a Republican until 2007, when he became an independent. And he stayed an independent until 2018 and then he only joined the party because he wanted to run for president.

He is an obvious interloper who does not share our Democratic values. I know most liberals are not ok with that.

It is clear he does not like the Democrats policy decisions.

Wharf has been lambasting Bernie for over three years saying he was not a Democrat, as he is an Independent, but one who always caucuses with the Democrats, and Whar has said he would not vote for Bernie, but would vote for governor moonbeam instead-lol.

But he said he would vote for Bloomberg.

But who is the real Democrat? Bloomberg who has never been a Democrat until he wanted to run for president in 2018, or Bernie who always votes with the Democrats, has always been a liberal and is clearly a liberal Democrat at heart.

And he is also a hero of most of the liberals all of whom are Democrats. And he is much more popular than Bloomberg.

Bloomberg does not share liberal values, or even Democratic values, and it is important to know what policies any Democrat would pursue.

As far as Bernie goes: as Gertrude Stein said:"a rose by any other name is still a rose".

Bernie is ten times the Democrat Bloomberg is.

<,

Biden and Bloomberg are both fuzzy and not active supporters of marijuana legalization.

But federal legalization is not a show-stopper to the momentum in states.

This is why in this phase we should be listening to -- and weighing ALL the policies plus chances of beating Trump Republicans, not just attacking leading Democratic candidates personally for example as Kamala Harris is doing so desperately.

It is a process, candidates evolve and get stronger... or not. New candidate Bloomberg, Mayor Pete, Warren, Biden and all... lets hear and evaluate what they offer; and why. Harris too. Elevate.
