If Mike Bloomberg came out and told the truth and came out as gay, would it help his campaign? (polls, Clinton)

All these rumors floating around about Bloomberg, so what. People would admire a successful gay politician that listens to people than a rich guy making uncomfortable jokes about women.

It might hurt with some, the same way it might have with Boot Edge Edge.

Bloomberg is a joke, he's got nothing going on, he's laughable to me as a leader, typical elitist billionaire donor class who's insulated from the real struggles of normal average everyday people type of buffoon.

No.

Bloomberg was married and has two daughters, and is currently living with Diana Taylor.

Why would you even ask that question?

About 1/3 of the gay men over 40 I know have had wives and children.

I seem to remember someone else starting a similar idiot thread about Cory Booker last year, who's also straight

For white liberals yes, for culturally conservative but democrat black Americans no.

Agreed.

Regardless of where he puts it, he's a huge dick.

For whatever reason, Democrats like living in a world where they think Black, Hispanic, and Muslims will come out for a Gay man. If the economy was shet and Trump was locking Black people up like Clinton maybe? If I remember from one of the polls Bootiegig had Zero% when put up against the other Democrat candidates.
