Looks like there's little on which I disagree with Bloomberg, and it's all stuff on which I'm borderline already.

If Hillary tanks and it looks like she's lost her frontrunner slot - or is indicted - after Super Tuesday, I'm gonna need him to run.

[Giselle]

I have been a Hillary supporter for as long as I can remember, she is the reason I'm even interested in politics now. I certainly have a personal connection to her.

I just cannot imagine her losing The blow in '08 was one thing, as she was able to clean up and continue her legacy as SoS. But if she loses now... she's just... DONE

[Moonchild]

Yeah, Hillary is seen as a inhuman election machine by a lot of people. It will be a death blow to her political career and public perception if she loses this, especially in the primaries.

[Giselle]

If Hillary loses, I will go back to being a rich woman of decorum who doesn't speak on politics in public.

[Retro]

If Hillary loses I'll just be more motivated to change things and participate.

I think an eventual goal of mine is to transition from business to politics or have a hand in both fields (I'm getting a business degree so I'm obviously starting there) and I think Hillary has played a significant part in inspiring my passion for politics.

I've been Ready for Hillary since before that was even a thing - I don't want another loss, but I've been interested and involved long enough to have already had her make a lasting impression on me.

Politics is going to get rather interesting in the next several years, and I think this election is really showing it.

Can we all get into this eternal bop, though? It's been my favorite political ad since I took AP U.S. Government & Politics a few years ago. And the Disney animation slays.

lol I remember this from APUSH last year

I can't wait until the caucuses are over because these poll numbers consistently favoring Trump the second he jumped into the race are still unbelievable to me.

My only involvement with politics will be throwing fundraisers and/or working on campaigns. Or being first lady, of course . I am more inspired by private sector work. That's where I see myself being useful. I'd take a job at The Clinton Foundation over a position in a Clinton White House.

I'm probably going to run for office at some point in my life. Young enough to actually build an influential, important career if elected, but after I gain experience, connections, and have foothold in the world.

I like Bloomberg from what I'm reading. Let me read more into him. VoteMatch places us on the same line economically.

Let me help you out:

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg reportedly argued Friday that guns need to be kept out of the hands of minorities in order to keep them alive.

n; So my grandpa is a bit radical when it comes to gun control.

It comes from a good place.

[Adonis]

Nope. I will support Trump outright for sure if Bloomberg runs.

Im not here for a guy who got laws changed so he and only he could have a third term. This is the same guy who tried to ban soda.

He is going to get hammered from the left, middle and right.

Welp, that's the first issue I've had with him now, but that is indeed an issue and a bit of a mess.

Not as bad as Republican candidates, but definitely not an ideal/good position on minorities.

Can you imagine a topic of Black Lives Matter coming up?

Don't know much about Bloomberg, but a soda ban sounds like an excellent plan to me

If he becomes a serious candidate in Hillary's stead I'd be interested in seeing him roll back some of his statements regarding minorities before I committed to supporting him. I do think it's something that he needs to change to be a good candidate for me.

It doesn't seem like it would end well.

Bloomberg is the worst.
Stop-and-frisk, anyone? He's probably a bigger racist than the entire GOP field combined.
Anyway, he shouldn't run. Three New Yorkers all running for president @ the same time

While I see the racism issues and why that would affect you view of him, I see no reason why it's a bad thing that multiple New Yorkers could occupy prominent places in the general election.

I just don't follow that part.

[Ramcoro]

Trump vs Sanders vs Bloomberg would likely result in Trump winning.
