Is this really a surprise? Half the population of New York and New Jersey are moving to Miami and Tampa-St Pete!

You make a great point.

For 40 years they’ve been telling us how great socialism is. So now we have a socialist candidate and no Dem elite wants him. Why?

CUZ THEY KNOW IT’S A MASSIVE POLITICAL LOSER IF PEOPLE REALLY SEE WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.

If you like miniature mayors
and getting bought with disdain
If you're not into freedom
if you have half a brain
If you like making no decisions
Wrapped by miles of red tape
I'm the one that you looked for
Vote for me and escape (your freedom).

Bloomberg can buy all the ads he wants. He's 78 and we'll see if he has the physical stamina for an actual national campaign. He may wind up making Hillary '16 look active by comparison.

Aside from that, there is no way at least a third of registered democrats will vote for an elderly New York billionaire with deep Wall Street connections.

In 2016 Trump pulled off the unthinkable by hijacking a moribund major political party and making it his own. Bloomberg is completely delusional if he believes he can do the same with the Democrat party.

Trump is wise to sit back and watch the D infighting at this point. There's plenty of ammo to attack nanny-state Mike "Big Gulp" Bloomberg if he manages by some trick to buy the D nomination. He has zero authentic grass-roots support.

Ok the NY rats who moved to Fla have dumped Joe and switched to Mikey Mouse.

Hammer meet nail.
