      If you tried to evaluate Trump’s political standing based on how elected Democrats generally approach him, you’d think he was a popular, well-liked incumbent.https://twitter.com/julianzelizer/status/1227936286293491713 …

      There are moments when it feels as if Democrats are going to psych themselves into conceding to Trump before the general election even begins. Just as impeachment didn’t conclude like in 1974, there is no reason to be so sure that this election will end like in 1972.

      One consequence of retreating from a position of constant attack and alarm is that *voters* have taken the cue and essentially “normalized” Trump.

      That's the source of the recent Bloomberg boomlet among some Dems. Conceding that Trump is normal and trying for a more polite, sane Trump.

      Bloomberg is not campaigning on, nor his rise in the polls been due to, the idea that he is a "more polite, sane Trump."

      I think a lot of the liberals who have come around to Bloomberg are implicitly arguing the only way to fight Trump is with a liberal Trump (media savvy plutocrat, whose history of racism & sexism we have to overlook)

          When I close my eyes and think about who would aggressively and effectively confront Trump on a debate stage, I think of Warren and Bloomberg. Which is why I support Warren.

          Trump will not debate anyone. He's no longer capable. So, the real debate question is who can do an effective job of painting Trump as a coward for this inevitable decision. I'm guessing Bloomberg or Klobuchar. Either will push Trump's buttons.

          That's a strangely generous definition of Trump, given that there is so much more wrong with him than a history of racism and sexism. (To begin with, those things are not part of his history - they're actively part of his present.)

          More substantively, I think Bloomberg's mostly just filling the spot Biden was supposed to occupy, if he'd seemed even remotely capable of running a strong campaign against Trump.

          Or they just prefer MB to Bernie because MB' focus is Donald Trump, and Bernie's is destroying other Democrats, and they don't want the election to be a referendum on socialism, and thus guarantee a reelection.

          Swap “Trump” for “Billionaire” and you have a point. Small sample but some of my Dem voting friends like the idea of our own billionaire. I think it’s another sign the plutocracy is here to stay.
