      I don't think we know what happens when one candidate (Bloomberg) starts ~6-9 months later than everyone else and hasn't survived the rigors of the process in the same way that everyone else has. There's certainly the chance that grass may turn out not to be greener, after all.

      In the past, candidates who started late (think Fred Thompson) have had a notoriously poor track record, although that's usually attributed to a lack of preparation or an inability to build out a robust campaign. Those *don't* seem to be problems in Bloomberg's case.

      But I'm surprised at how many Dem elites and elected officials have thrown their weight behind him when he hasn't been battle-tested like other candidates.

          Is Bloomberg the new “Soros” now?

          Funny how corporate and donor money influences candidates is usually the concern, and Bloomberg is kind of the 180 of that.

          What if, hear me out, what if ALL the candidates waited 9 months to enter the race?

          It’s not like Bloomberg spent $100 million in 2018 to support Democrats in races that won them the House. Keep talking trash about him. By the way, which was Bernie Sanders contribution for Democrats winning the House?
