That place is full on blowie for Bernie Sanders and absolutely, completely and undeniably anti any other dem candidate. It’s almost as if it’s getting influenced by Russian advocates or something. Well there is a lot of longstanding ties between anti-imperialist leftists (activists and international groups against US/Western intervention but generally not other countries like Russia and China, or Iran) and Russian influence and support. Also Russia likes the US in chaos, so they are likely amplifying things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm just now learning that Bloomberg had the city council of New York extend the mayor's term limit from two to three. This guy sounds not as bad as Trump, but I really fail to see why some of you are enthusiastic about this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 It's going to be hard for other candidates to compete in all these states with well established, big money, or massive organization candidates like Biden, Bloomberg, or Bernie. Also I was listening to Pod Save America, and they said Bernie wins the nomination if the moderate candidates are all still in for super Tuesday, because it will be impossible for others to catch him if he gets viability in every state and racks up delegates. They did say it might just be a plurality though, meaning he could with with a majority of votes going to other candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I don't want Bloomberg to be the nominee anymore than I do Biden, but at the end of the day, if it takes a moderate with billions of dollars to oust a cretin like Trump? Whatever, I guess I will take it. Reflects more on our society than anything anyway. Also, the whole "socialist" thing can be turned around on Trump rather easily. Start listing off the checks he is writing, and what he chooses to fund in his budget versus what he wants to cut. Trump is every bit of a socialist as anyone else, it's just that he is for corporate socialism. EDIT: It also seems like Bloomberg's strategy in a debate is going to be full-on clown on Trump for being a phony, which actually might be the way to go. The last thing I am interested in is seeing Bloomberg brag about being wealthy, but I also think 2016 debates are evidence that you can't beat Trump with policy talk because Trump will never engage in detailed policy. He will speak in platitudes and mix in some make believe things as well. Maybe it will be better to just go on stage and call him an absolute buffoon?

88Comrade2000 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Super Tuesday is when we will get the final shake down in this race. With 8 candidates remaining, they all probably will try to stay until Super Tuesday. $$$$$$ is going to be vital. Bernie has no problem. Pete probably has no problem, so he can compete at least until Super Tuesday. Amy is going to have hard time having the money to compete on Super Tuesday. She needs to score a higher than expected finish in Nevada and South Carolina. Elizabeth needs to score a 2nd place finish or higher in NV & SC. Joe needs to outright win NV and/SC or his limit funding dries up. He won't be able to do much on Super Tuesday. My guess, unless they win alot of delegates; on Super Tuesday night you will see Biden, Klobucher, Warren & probably Steyer & Gabbard drop out. The Dems are really idiots in their scheduling. Why is their 11 days between NH & NV? Then, SC is just 3 days before Super Tuesday. NV should've been on Tue: 2/18 & SC: 2/25 and then everyone week for Super Tuesday.

Yeah, it's dumb as hell to have all that at once and have South Carolina so close. It's also kind of confusing that early voting has been going on for a while and people may have voted for candidates who won't be in the race when their state comes around.

Llevron Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I think Burnie saying roughly that anyone who is doing the personal attacking and whatever else online is not one of his and someone he doesnt want. I dont know how else he can say it without directly chastising people who are indeed his supporters - which would be stupid if you want them to help you get elected. Say "his people" wouldnt do that and if you do he doesnt want you. Its an exit ramp. Problem is im not sure if he necessarily believes that or not. But in reality im not considering him for president because I think hes a nice guy but because I think hes going to do what I want. There I go sounding like a Trump supporter. Someone help me defend him and not do that. The fact that Democrats are seriously considering Bloomberg is upsetting to me. I get that is a little more than a bit hypocritical of me when you consider what I wrote above. But the money hes using to his advantage, the things hes said in the past, the fact that hes really a republican are all too similar to Trump to me in the worst way. I cant believe we are actually considering this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
