SoylentNews is people

We have to face facts, put all the bullshit aside

Journal by fustakrakich

You know who is the only person on the list that has a chance, right? This has nothing to do with opinion, mine or yours.

But we do know now that Hillary doesn't need to run, so no need to bring her up anymore. Even a bunch (over 20%) of Bernie supporters will go for it

It's probably the only peaceable way out of this

    Yes, it's extremely simple, Bloomberg is only there to prevent a possible Sanders presidency, whether it's on his own or as a favor to a friend is unimportant, doesn't matter to him or the DNC if Trump wins again. If Sanders does win the nomination, Bloomberg will go "third party". It's a *never Sanders* thing. With Bloomberg to cover the bases, Hillary can slip back into the background for the most part. She doesn't need to run now. The intended spoiler is in place. There will be no "President Sanders".

    This act played itself out in 2006 when Ned Lamont defeated Joe Lieberman in the democratic primary for the US senate seat. Lieberman went "indie", and with bipartisan support from the leadership, won the election. Bloomberg is the only one with similar support that could possibly beat Trump. There are a lot of republicans that will vote for him.
