IMO the Dems are currently split between the leftist SocDems (aka AOC, Bernie, and the newcomers), and the more centralist-corporatist Dem establishment.
Parachuting a billionaire in is unlikely to heal that rift.
True but Micheal Bloomberg has credibility as the Mayor of NYC and he is well respected across the board. He may not be a tree-hugging leftist but he is intelligent, methodical and has a head for this sort of thing. Biden has baggage but he does have the fact he was Obamas VP going for him.
The thing about Biden is that just because he was Obamas VP does not mean he is a good candidate. Take Hilary Clinton for example, she is the husband of one of the greatest presidents in American History along with being a senator and secretary of state but she could not win an election against Donald Trump for Christ sake.
Bernie Sanders is the epitome of the old guy yells at cloud and "the rent is too damn high" meme. He likes to hear himself talk but nobody expects him to win.
Elizabeth Warren is the leftist, tree hugger that has great ideas but no real plan to implement them. She can talk the talk but has no real chance of being the candidate.
