By The Editorial Board Nov. 8, 2019 6:45 pm ET The news that Michael Bloomberg might compete for the Democratic presidential nomination is causing consternation on the political left. But that’s all the more reason to welcome his candidacy to challenge a vulnerable President Trump next year.
Joe Biden often stumbles with his words on the stump and can’t escape the Ukraine imbroglio if impeachment goes to a Senate trial. He’s also low on money. Pete Buttigieg is a glib and clever 37-year-old, but his only political experience is as the mediocre mayor of a small and struggling city. Kamala Harris has been exposed as unprepared for the national stage and is running on her identity far more than ideas.
Mr. Bloomberg also clashed with the teachers unions by promoting charter schools and teacher accountability in New York. And his stellar record in reducing crime, including support for such policies as stop-and-frisk, isn’t popular with the social-justice left.
opinion Lol lol lol lol. Ok
opinion The left has never been smart. He’s their only chance. The current cast of characters are sad.
opinion Vulnerable? You are kidding, right? If not, put down the blunt and let's get serious.
opinion The situation also decides the result though he may be excellent as well. And, his points may be right to a certain degree but lack something significant.
opinion Thief！
opinion Who are you calling vulnerable? SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO INFLUENCE AN ELECTION. What's up with that JACK?
opinion No chance at all. Trump is by far the best president since Ronald Reagan
opinion Because another awful billionaire who seeks to continue the wealth divide that imperils working class Americans. But you go, girl. Go with that.
opinion “Vulnerable Trump”? Such BS drama
opinion This country is sick of Billionaires thinking they are leaders... we don’t need any more headaches pass
opinion Damn, no doubt where the editorial board stands - they want Trump's successes without Trump. Sad.
opinion not vulnerable no matter how much you say it
RealAlisonPoole opinion Nope!
opinion Anyone but Trump
opinion Bloomberg could Trash talk Trump better than any Dem candidate. I would love watching every debate with Bloomberg in it, Dems need that NYC swag. IMO
opinion 😂😂😂 As a member of the political left, I am mos def not consternated. Bloomberg’s boomerang will actually help to bolster the candidates he seeks to beat, because he brings that big billionaire energy.
opinion Bloomberg was the receiver of all the good work that Mayor Guillano provided for New York. The best thing Bloomberg did was fly to his Bahama retreat for three days every week!
opinion Oh yeah - Trump is vulnerable - on what basis? The already failed impeachment inquiry? Didn’t learn anything from the Russia Hoax or the Nothing Mueller report - your paper is no better than People mag.
opinion if Bill Maher says this guy's OK - then I'll consider him...but not before.
opinion A fake news guy.
opinion Hard to believe a news organisation when you print two different versions of your paper. Basically, you're full of shit.
opinion Oh please, no more New York billionaires.😗
opinion
opinion ok Bloomberg.
opinion You guys are always good for a laugh.
opinion Why does this get more attention than actual candidates in the race some sort of bizarre agenda
opinion ThedrilStreetJournal
opinion Bloomberg isn't a Democrat.
opinion Sure haha
opinion Sure why not he’s just gonna take from Biden and mayo Pete
