I do think Bloomberg is the biggest threat to win among the democrats, mostly because he can outspend everyone.

Personally, I might hate Bloomberg more than any of them. Between the soda tax, and stop and frisk, and manipulating NYC term limits laws so that he could get another term, I think he's no bueno.

And don't forget about the mllions he's spent to erode away at the 2nd Amendment

Yeah, except this asshat is running for president and doesn't even realize we aren't a Democracy. So there's that!.
Of course we're a democracy. Are you saying we're a republic and not a democracy? Because we're both.

What's funny is that interviewer starting with, "You've got this label stuck to you, "Socialist".... when he's called himself a socialist for decades.

He still has to sell himself to voters that almost automatically despise wealthy people. His trek will be more difficult to sway voters unless the others fall off the edge because they can’t get campaign support. The only thing he has to sell currently is he thinks he can oust Trump. If he can pull that off then he has a shot to come to the top at the convention. He still will have to convince some of the delegates to overturn their delegate vote to make the numbers work unless he starts to get the majority in the primaries.

Mostly this country is a republic at the federal level. There are only a few k’things that may apply as a democracy but as far as elections and how the country is governed it is a republic. Voting for those who will occupy the top federal position is pure republic brcause the voting elects delegates who in turn votes for the President. The Congressional seats are voted on by public sentiment and are democratic but the legislation that they enact is essentially a presumed representation of the public and not a direct vote and therefore a republic.
