Well, she sent her dog to campaign for her in Iowa while she's peach minting so I guess that's cool

I meant everything before the sixth comma.

Bloomies is a repub correct?

I’d like to see a candidate that can win on something more than a vote for me is a vote against Trump.
Bloomies was a Repub when he landed on the NYC mayoral scene. Personally, I think he's an opportunistic corporatist who saw a way to ride the "America's Mayor" coattails without the poor oral hygiene, cross-dressing, etc.

Since he's running in the Democratic Primary, and not just launching a 3rd/no party general, I assume he's a Democrat nominally at this point?

Sanders/Warren are clearly "vote for me because I'm a Progressive Democratic Socialist".

I think it's pretty clear Biden, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg are clearly "vote for me because I won't have literal Creationists one heartbeat away from the White House and on the Supreme Court, and I won't pass a massive tax cut and a massive spending hike".

YMMV

Democrat in republicans clothing. You think he can win a primary in the truest of blue states?

I'll assume you're talking about Bloomberg here but I don't feel 100% confident that is your meaning, as I thought Bloomberg was a Republican in a Democrat's clothing.

I don't think he can win a primary in the truest of blue states, and I'm not all that left leaning by DNC standards so that'd be a feature rather than a bug. I want to win Senate seats during the general in purple states. Illinois, California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts are generally doing superlatively well with the exception of Illinois state government is a disaster of sucktastic proportions.

IMHO Bloomberg is the worst of both worlds. He wants to ban guns and big gulps and probably bong rips and surfing and sport fishing.

I get the impression he'd think ending SS/Medicare/Medicaid/Healthy Start/Head Start and public school was a master stroke.
I get the impression he thinks a working family who finds themselves underwater on a house they can't afford walking away is a crime, and that an investment bank who leveraged that family's future debt 10:1 and damn near vaporized the financial system is a necessary requirement of a functioning economy, and we should be lining up to suck these people off.

About the only thing I can say in his favor is he seems less anti-gay than Pence and less fiscally idiotic (at least on the spending side) than Sanders.

I'm pretty sure that was codified into law in the Patriot Act

That's rich coming from the ball-gargling supporter of the guy who's constantly crying about "fake news".
So like I thought, nothing to retort

To be clear here, Warren is talking about criminalizing free speech

Yes that’s who.
