There is mostly Trump supporters here so the poll doesn't represent much. There are more Democrats and Independents in the voting segment so the mentality is Blue Vote No Matter Who. The turnout to get Trump out of office will be at 2018 record levels. I'm going with Bloomberg even though I know little about him. He has to be less corrupt. He doesn't have a house full of corrupt lying kids and old men installed either.

Better a Trump win and the Dem establishment dismantled than a Bloomberg win. A Bloomberg win would be a return to politics as usual and that's the last thing Sanders supporters want.
Don't you think that Sanders supporters would have learned the hard lesson of staying at home or voting Trump in 2016? I doubt that they would do that again.

One good thing about billionaire Presidents is they can tell all the lobbyists to go to hell!

Not really, providing he tells disappointed Sanders supporter that if they want to remove this big wart from Washington, vote for me!

It's only because the Dems are THAT BAD.
Trump can get away with forever putting one foot in his mouth, but not so if he accidentally puts both feet in his mouth!

Not the case at all - Bloomberg to me is like Romney - very elitist and full of themselves - so far removed from the avg American as are most politicians but pretends they are one of us. Hillary was actually the worst with the hot sauce.

Guess you haven't heard about us that have "walked Away" Is it going to be another "Blue Wave"? You all became too confident in 2016 and all of you are way too confident today. The market is up - people are doing better and Trump has made changes that most approve of. Republican, Democrats, and Independents all know that and many Americans look at who can do the best for them - not vote party line.

Again - your own words - I don't know much about him - is typical of many Democrats who don't stop and evaluate each candidate and see who in the long run is better for them. That's pathetic and you're copping out and then get upset with the results.
