    Bloomberg still has not announced that he'll run for President – although he said eight months ago that he wouldn't.

    The 2020 election will be a referendum on Donald Trump, who lost the popular vote in 2016 but won the Presidency because of the Electoral College's un-democratic rule that "some votes count more than others." Democrats can not afford to take for granted that Republicans will lose in 2020. They need to hurry up and decide on a candidate.

    With impeachment looming, both Republicans and Democrats are on edge about 2020
    Los Angeles Times, Nov 22 2019 12:35 PM

    President Trump is close to being impeached by the House. His party just lost two gubernatorial races in conservative states and control of the Virginia legislature. House Republicans have been stampeding toward retirement. It looks like Democrats are on a roll but you wouldn’t know it from the high-anxiety mood of the party.

    Republicans are no calmer. They worry about their mercurial President and the impact he could have on races down the ballot in 2020. Party strategists doubt they can win back a majority in the House. Some fear they could lose control of the Senate. The result, as Washington moves toward an impeachment showdown, is a rare chapter in American politics when members of both parties seem wracked with insecurity.

    The anxiety on both sides is a departure from the political norm. Usually one party or the other has a clear upper hand, especially when an incumbent is running for reelection. Trump is one of the most vulnerable incumbents to seek reelection since the Great Depression in the 1930s: His approval rating has remained stuck below 50% for the entirety of his presidency.

    Democrats have not experienced the political backlash some feared from launching their impeachment inquiry. Neither have the hearings produced narrative-changing revelations that Republicans feared could force them to abandon the President.

    Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick thinks he can become President. I think he needs to think again.

    Bloomberg was a Democrat. Then he became a Republican. Then he became an independent. Now he's a Democrat again. He's also the ninth-wealthiest American and the 14th-wealthiest person in the world. And, as expected, he's running for President. He's optimistic that if one white septuagenarian billionaire can get elected, so can he.

    Michael Bloomberg is the latest 2020 Democratic hopeful

    Political writer, talk-show host and former attorney Dean Obeidallah lived in New York City when Michael Bloomberg was Mayor. He offers a litany of reasons why Democratic voters should reject Bloomberg's candidacy.

    The wealthiest men to serve as United States President are, in order of net worth adjusted for inflation, Donald Trump, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson. Trump's worth is estimated at $3.1 billion, more than that of the previous 44 Presidents combined. Michael Bloomberg's wealth is fifty-two billion dollars. Just think if he'd use some of that money to build homeless shelters and drug treatment centers instead of spending huge sums on political ads for a race he has zero chance of winning.

    Bernie lets it rip against Bloomberg 'arrogance'
    Sanders says the latest candidate to enter the race is trying to "buy an election" and is "undermining" American democracy.

    Elizabeth Warren's support among Democratic voters has fallen by 50% since last month. It is obvious that "Medicare For All" and posing for selfies will not be enough to propel her into the White House.

    Warren nosedives in new nationwide poll
    The latest Quinnipiac poll also shows Buttigieg surging into second.

    Following Nixon's Watergate scandal and impending impeachment, the opposing party won the White House. Following Clinton's impeachment, the opposing party won the White House. CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein says the Ukraine scandal will solidify opposition to Trump and Democrats will take advantage of it. He expects Trump's re-election strategy will be to savagely attack his Democratic opponent and insist he's "the lesser of two evils." Nope, sorry. Trump is the biggest evil.

    If Michael Bloomberg thinks he can become President by spending millions more dollars on political ads than Tom Steyer is spending, he should probably reconsider.

    New Hampshire voters to Tom Steyer: Make it stop!
    The billionaire candidate is flooding New Hampshire with online ads. One reporter sat through 17 of them in an hour of YouTube viewing.
