Polling aside, I'd still like to know who these Democrats are who would vote for Bloomberg.

1. First time I hear of Morning Consult.

Thanks for the link, and for the information.

2. if no one gets 270 electoral votes, it goes to the house, and Bernie loses.

5. What state will Bloomberg carry?

New York should be progressive enough to vote for the (D). It is a pretty solid blue state.

If we assume NY stays blue, where can Bloomberg win? I don't see him getting one blue state. Maybe not any state.

3. By one percent. Not a very comfortable margin.

4. For the love of God, never use the phrase "in a three way with Trump and Bloomie" again.

9. No media scrutiny of Bloomberg yet.

These numbers should be his ceiling.

10. Yeah, I'm looking for my bottle of brain bleach right now

11. Attention-getting, ain't it?

[PoliticAverse]

6. But Bloomberg apparently won't run if Clinton is the nominee. n/t

12. In that case, Trump wins.

Hillary inspires about as much as watching paint dry.

7. There are plenty of suburban Democrats who would select Bloomberg

That aside, it's really statistically insignificant and it is not good that Sanders only gets 59% of Democrats. With that sort of number, I would not expect a win.

13. I'm a suburban Democrat.

And I still don't know any Democrats who'd want to vote for him.

[KingFlorez]

15. Not everyone votes the same

As someone who has run for office, I have discovered that there are many different types of Democrats out there.

14. Support the number "Plenty" ... nt

[KingFlorez]

16. Cleary, the poll suggests that they are out there

In suburbs, there are a lot of business minded Democrats that would be willing to vote for an independent like Bloomberg. I'm just explaining the type, the poll suggest that Bloomberg could attract crossover votes.

17. Newsflash...there are more than traditional (whatever that has become) Democrats that count.

Now this is a rough quote, but a pundit (don't recall...so you can stop here if that bothers you) mentioned that there are only 13% old white guys...presumably one of HRCs strong holds...and over 80% young, POC, Asian, Mexican, Liberals, (real ones), LGBTQ , women etc.

Obviously they will all not vote for Sanders, or even a Democrat, but the idea is clear and it is why Bernie has so much enthusiasm. Many of that 80% have given up...stayed home...had been unrepresented, etc.

It took someone not hated in Washington, not from an Establishment Party, although having given them his almost total support for years. And many then welcomed his entry into their organization to help pull it out of Political Oligarchy and back into Democratic Values.
