So, Bloomberg recently said he could run as a third party candidate and spend up to 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) dollars on his campaign. What is your opinion? Is he what we need? Will he cause the Democrat to lose?

He'll suck centrist and independent voters away, but I think he overestimates how popular he is to the general public. He'll pick up less than 10% of the votes.

Remember folks that this is the man who tried to ban soft drinks. He's not getting anywhere close to the White House and he knows it. Plus he's far to leftist on gun control.

he will take moderate democrats away from Hillary, yay for that

As long as Sanders, Hilary, Rand Paul, Trump and Fiorina are not elected, I will be okay with the outcome

Why Rand Paul and Fiorina?

Why not Rand Paul???

I don't like Rand's stance on the military but everything else I agree with him on. Fiorina was one of my first picks but my favor of her has gone down A LOT. shes loud, screams the same ol' propaganda lines like Rubio, and she does not want to speak with Putin? how can she solve our International issues if you wont even talk to other world leaders?

Plus Fiorina hasn't been successful at one thing in her life. She has no qualifications. At least Trump made billions of dollars and Carson because one of the world's foremost neurosurgeons.

I think what you consider leftist on gun control is ludicrous.
(coming from the country that took everyone's guns and melted them down).

I think what you consider leftist on gun control is ludicrous.

Well I think what you consider rightist on gun control is ludicrous. You see how political relativity works?

Yep. For example I think you should pull out of the Middle East entirely, and have far stronger gun control. (you should also legalise weed and suicide).

Yes, no, no, no

1) Pull out of the Middle East - couldn't agree with you more. Why do you think I support Rand Paul?
2) Stronger gun control - I like my 2nd Amendment thank you. If you don't...well then stay in Australia and try not to get bitten by a poisonous snake.
3) Legalize weed - no weed should be decriminalized not legalized. I don't want people to get punished for having/using weed but I don't want the wrong message to be given to children saying that its as safe and legal to use as tobacco or alcohol.
4) Legalize suicide - No. Just no. That's an affront to Western morality and humanity.

I don't think that weed is safe, but it certainly isn't worse than tobacco.

1) Pull out of the Middle East?
Yes, but we will most likely be dragged back in due to terrorism.
2) Stronger gun control- Ban semi-automatic weapons.
3) Legalize weed- For Medical purposes, YES. For personal use, Yes and no.
4) Legalize suicide- why?

Jai, I am in full favor of complete weed legalization. I think it should probably be regulated to something like beer

Why should you make suicide illegal? If someone wants to take their life then let them. I mean it isn't nice seeing it happen but I really think that it shouldn't be illegal to do so.

US has ten times the gun deaths of Australia per capita and 4 times the murder rate per capita. Guns didn't help people that much.

You know why? Because America has four hundred times there population XD kinda a no brainer. I agree tho, people should have the right to take there own life if they are over 18

You didn't read the word per capita did you. And its twenty times the population.

per capita doesn't make a difference. We have still higher population per capita. We will naturally always have a high crime rate compared to Australia. Use another example that doesn't include a country w edwarf in population so that it can be a fair measuring.

DEFINITION of 'Per Capita'

A Latin term that translates into "by head," basically meaning "average per person." Per capita can take the place of saying "per person" in any number of statistical observances.
