FWIW, it appears Bloomberg and Bloomberg's advisors believe in doing just the opposite of that:

Our country has a rich history of presidents who respected the power, decorum, and influence of their office.

Unfortunately, that rich history ended the day Trump became president. pic.twitter.com/3QEncsTiNA

I have a small suspicion that he might be doing that, spending all that money on Trump character attacks allover the place, so that the other candidates don't have to? But I could absolutely be wrong about that. Why? Cause Bloomberg is egotisical in a much different way than Trump, he likes to prove that he is an excellent manager who can solve any problem, that's what he gets off on. The real stable genius thing, wants to be in the history books as that but also just enjoys doing it. This whole thing can err on the side of dictatorial, though.

Edit to add, look at his slogan on the Twitter home page: WE WILL GET IT DONE. Whatever it is. The trains WILL run on time.

So is this kid an influencer

So is this kid an influencer or not? And what pronoun(s) does he they prefer to use?

Whatever the case, for some reason, methinks he needs to be careful about trusting liberal populist boomers.

In reply to Well here you go. Thank god

Democrats need to spend less time attacking Trump’s character and his ego, and more time going after the horrific things he’s actually doing as president.

Well here you go. Thank god

Well here you go. Thank god for Carville, he's figured it out. I was so wrong when I said no one knows how to beat Trump. Carville know not only how to win over 400 electoral votes but 55 votes in the senate. I'd like to introduce to you, the next president of the United States, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO).

Clinton won 1st time because of Perot, maybe 2nd time as well (he got roughly same as Dole + Perot, but on an electoral basis may have been the clincher). Republicans have been using some similar tricks for a while now - would think we could counter, but we're slow learners. Shady stuff in Ohio for Kerry, shady in FL for Gore, shady in PA, MI, WI and MN for Hillary. But these aren't the tiny states choosing the Senate. I dunno what the message is, but pretty sure "white people don't count" isn't it.

In reply to Steyer: how to beat Trump?

Yeah, how to beat Trump is a good and important question. But I've seen no evidence anyone knows the answer. If we had that answer Carter would have won a second term, Mondale and Dukakis would have won, Gore and Kerry would have won. All of them were establishment picks to one degree or another. All of them were considered the safe choice. I'm not saying we should take a chance on a left candidate instead of the moderate. I'm saying no one really knows.
