Mike Bloomberg

What I wrote at the New York Times:

Imagine a debate between the brilliant Mike Bloomberg and celebrity clown Trump.

Democrats, please nominate Mike.

I was very surprised there were so many people who like Mike Bloomberg.

Some of their comments:

I like him; the way he and his staff speak, their on-the-ball planning including using the Iowa issues to their advantage. Plus, after all the other candidates have exhausted their welcome after running for months and months, he will be the freshest and strongest in the field.

I am considering Bloomberg, too. I agree with those who have written that Trump will be threatened by him in a debate. Bloomberg may be 77 but he is in shape and seems better able to bring in moderate Republicans, too. Plus, his money has been well spent on gun reform issues and climate change. I believe he will also impress our allies, all of whom need reassurance that we are on their side.

As a longtime Bloomberg News subscriber, I've always appreciated the professionalism of his various enterprises, however I was doubtful about his candidacy and what it would mean for the US and the world, at large. Not anymore, he would probably have the required gravitas to exercise a lot of changes within the American body politic and economic, by enlisting bipartisan support for various restructurings that are absolutely necessary to bring the US fully in the 21st century, reassure US allies and counter the rising influence of malefic China.

I admire Mike Bloomberg, I respect Mike Bloomberg, and unless something drastically changes with the other Democratic candidates, i will vote for Mike Bloomberg. Some are complaining that he is trying to buy the election, but look at it this way: his self financing of his campaign means that he himself can't be bought, and that he will be accountable only to the people who vote for him, and given his mature temperament, to all other Americans, too. For a moderate like me, what's not to like?
