None of these other folks I want to hang my hopes on in a general election. I like Warren's ideas, but I dont love her in a general election as the nominee. Buttigieg and Klobachar can forget it. They can enjoy their little moments here, but they're just delaying the inevitable, IMO. I dont know where Bloomberg fits in. Wrong. It's Bernie vs Bloomberg. Bloomberg already has half the older black vote and he will get the rest once Biden drops out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Enjoying the 3 phases of Bernie-hood: 1) The DNC is fixed and corrupt and the opponent is an oligarch/elitist/secret racist. 2) It’s over, Bernie is a juggernaut that cannot be defeated. 3) Everyone in the media needs to apologize.

I think there is a lot of guilt for not running in 2016, perhaps he's trying to make up for it. However, he can't drop out now unless he's definitely out. I really appreciate Biden, I really do, but he isn't the one we need right now. I don't get why some of these politicians can't or won't just admit their time is up and go away. I hope his career isn't marred by this bad showing late in his "legacy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomberg isn't going independent. I do agree that there will be a third party bid; should Sanders be the nominee. It won't be Bloomberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSaints_fan Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Warren would have been pilloried in the general over the Native American thing. Would have made "Dukakis on the tank" look like amateur hour. So I'm kinda glad she won't be the nominee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the polls show him getting 30 percent in a 3 way race? He might be tempted. I wouldn’t write that possibility off.... I know who I would vote for if it was a three way between Bernie, Bloomberg, and trump.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I’m almost on the Bloomberg bandwagon. I supported Harris early but she ran a terrible campaign. I don’t think Klobuchar inspires or I would support her over the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Wasn’t too long ago that Amy and Pete were ridiculed as having no chance. They’ve gotten a great deal of momentum out of the first two primaries by exceeding expectations. Sanders did well, obviously, but he was expected to so I'm not sure he gets too great a bump. Warren and Biden need to rebound well in Nevada and South Carolina, or their campaigns are dead in the water. Results matter and they matter more than national polls. If voters come to think a candidate can’t win, they won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
