bloomberg hasnt even gotten a single delegate!
WTF
he isnt even ON the ballot in most places
He is a joke.
two non-democrats, tearing apart the democrat party....awesome
Wall Street libs are lining up behind Bloomberg, and when he fails, they will sit this one out methinks
DB is right. Either of them loses huge, but for almost opposite reasons.
Dinobernie will win the delegates to get the nomination. That’s different from him winning the nomination. Remains to be seen if they can steal it from him twice.
He will cause “some” so-called “moderates” (Not sure if that’s five or ten) to vote for Trump or not vote; but he will also cause Wall Street to sit out and blacks to stay home to the tune of 8-10% (on top of the 12-15% of blacks Trump will win outright).
Mini-Mike will cause blacks to stay home, but will also deeply damage the rural vote in MN, IL, PA, MI, VA, NV, CO, and NM. The combo of rural and blacks in VA, NV, NM, and CO may be enough to flip them (250k needed to flip in VA).
Either way, the DemoKKKrat Party will virtually cease to exist after this election at the presidential level. They will still have House and Senate power via CA, NY, MA, etc. But the are going the way of the Whigs.
I have little doubt he will “win” the delegates.
The question is, can they cheat him a second time. Stay tuned. I’m not sure.
How many delegates’ votes does Bloomberg have now?
:D
I’m 66 and can’t remember the last time during a primary season a “front runner” not even being on the primary ballot.
If Bloomberg did a Ross Perot, which party would he damage the most in the general?
Gays seems to hate mini mike with a passion.
Guess they resent him and his money trying to do in Mayor Chete.
As others have said, the 'rats need mini-mike in the race simply for his $$$. They can use him and his political ads to go after President Trump and his supporters.
The 'rats are desperately driving towards a brokered convention. As several articles and blogs have pointed out they really are in a pickle of their own making. What's the expression? Hoist with his own petard?
That would seem to apply here. The 'rats have spent the last several decades perfecting identity politics and generally pitting one demographic against another for their own gain. Those various angry groups have coalesced into a few very vocal mini-bases that have taken their victim status and identity to the extreme and can no-longer countenance even working with each other. In short, the 'rats own strategy has broken their own party.
I believe there is some truth or likelihood to what another poster said here the other day. That is, mini-mike is being used for his money, and as a foil against the commie. Once the DNC power elite achieve their brokered convention they will pick a ticket (note, they will, not the 'rat voters - sorry guys, you didn't realize your elites know what's best for you?).
The DNC's dilemma is finding that ticket. Several of the current 'rat candidates have already started saying a few nice things about other 'rat candidates in obvious try-outs for a VP slot. I think the 'rats will have to come out of the brokered convention with mini-mike at the top of the ticket, screwing over the commie once more. To balance that old-white-money stain they'll pick a more diversity-acceptable VP for him. (you don't really think he gets a say in this, the DNC is trying to hand him the keys to the kingdom, he'll be told to do as he's told).
The 'rats may trot out the current CEO of Clinton Crime Inc. for one more hacking/coughing/stumbling/ludicrous-expression-filled run. However, I think the DNC will calculate that won't work. Sure, CCI has lots of power and a scary tendency to arkancide those that cross it, and she is, as far as anyone knows or cares to inquire not a guy but... There's just too much baggage and the stench of failure (among others no-doubt) about her.
I have no idea who will fill the VP slot on their ticket, but it'll be someone who checks enough diversity boxes and is radical enough to placate the more extreme elements of the party. Perhaps right about now we'll see the decision made and the marching orders go out. It'll be interesting to see what other candidates step up and start seriously auditioning for the VP slot during the remainder of the campaign.
Bloomberg can buy all the votes he needs. Won’t help him against Trump’s tweets, though...unless he can manage to buy Twitter, too. :)
Bloomberg has spent $300,000,000 to get 4,700 votes.
About $64,000 per vote.

Completely delusion to think he’s in this race.
It’s Bernie vs. mayor Pete with the Hillary cronies at the DNC plotting a brokered convention.
Will be interesting to see how far the Dems are willing to go to stop Bernie - they have to be feeling a lot of angst these days.
Cheers me up.....bigly.
My tagline says that only slightly differently.
Yes, he is.IOW, Bernie is running a third party campaign within the RAT party. - NonValueAdded
After all, Trump did the same to the Republicans.“Liberals” used to describe themselves as “the Democrat wing of the Democratic Party.” Trump revived the Republican wing of the Republican Party.
If you opened this up as a debate topic...I would suggest three things on Bloomberg as an independent:
1. It’s then assuming that Bernie wins the first ballot at the convention, which will be more clear after Super-Tuesday.
2. In a state by state episode...I can only count three states where Bloomberg could get first place (NJ, NY, and maybe Maryland). The rest would be either Trump or Bernie wins.
3. Bloomberg can’t talk over positions that Warren, Mayor Pete, Bernie, or Joe Biden have taken. He might take an occasional Hillary-like position on things, but he’s mostly pro-regulation, and desiring to not hurt the economy (you can’t have one without the other).
right. Well they pulled it off in California during the midterms. I think this November will be a very different animal.
I know he's dropped about a half billion dollars in campaign commercials already but that seems to be working against him as more and more people see him for the insufferable, pompous, city-slicker stiff that he is.
With Breadline Bernie poised to sweep up delegates through Super Tuesday, building an insurmountable lead for himself, the DNC is going to be forced to pull the "Hillary to the rescue" gambit at the convention.

I think the historic VP candidate will be "Geraldine" Buttigieg.
