There have been things wrong with all of the Democrats who seek the party’s 2020 nomination for president - too old, too shrill, too commie, too boring. The party establishment was hoping Mike Bloomberg would be the white knight they needed to rescue their 2020 presidential hopes.
If last night‘s debate is any indication, the answer is no - Bloomberg isn’t their savior. Money he’s got, charisma he’s lacking. And he has too much baggage from a life of swaggering little-guy-compensating smart-mouth that, because of his wealth or position, got recorded for posterity.
Reasonably enough, comments that earned Bloomberg kudos when he was a Republican-of-sorts, now are an embarrassment when he runs as a latter-day-Democrat. As Dr. Spock would have said,
“It is logical, Captain.”
