I am still an Amy supporter but Bloomberg is my second choice, and I may end up voting for him on Super Tuesday because it appears that he is overtaking the few candidates I believe can beat Trump. Therefore, I am going to start arguing the case for Bloomberg, rebutting the arguments against him and even making arguments against some of the candidates who I believe do not have a chance against Trump. I tend to get active on this site during elections with comments and this is my first blog entry. Please keep in mind, I am on the same team, not a troll and believe that our democracy is crumbling under Trump. Here is my first argument in support of Bloomberg:

He puts his money where his mouth is. He is a huge donor to major liberal causes, and a top donor to the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood and the League of Conservation Voters. He has been pumping millions into get-out-the-vote infrastructure in swing states, funded many of the democrats who ran for seats in the House of Delegates and State Senate in Virginia (where dems took complete control of all branches of the government for the first time in a generation) and founded Everytown for Gun Safety. He is in it to win it and I believe that he is the only candidate with the resources, strength and grit to take on Trump and the Russians.
