Bloomberg has a simple but effective answer to all the critics like Van Jones. None of the other idiots on the stage has the slightest chance of beating Donald Trump. He had the sense to at least call out Bernie Sanders as a crackpot that the vast majority of Americans would never vote for.
Bernie will go into the convention without enough delegates to take the first ballot. At this point the party elders will pick Bloomberg even if he never does another debate and anoint him as their candidate. He will pay off Sanders who will kiss his gold ring and pledge to work for him against Trump.
Bernie will fade quickly, and be a non-factor.
You sound....
Disappointed
So sorry, Bloomberg laid and egg tonight
“At this point the party elders will pick Bloomberg”
Not gonna happen. AOC has bigger pull now than the party elders (Pelosi, Schumer). She will threaten to support a third party candidate and they will cave. Just like they did on impeachment.
The party elders will figure that the election is lost and will let Bernie and AOC go down in flames going against Trump.
“Bernie will go into the convention without enough delegates to take the first ballot.

Possible scenario. He might get Commie Bernie support but not the support of his true believers. I think most will stay home feeling completely betrayed.
The problem is he didn't demonstrate that in the debate. Bernie was unscathed by Bloomberg's "attack" Likewise the rest of the candidates.
Bloomberg completely flubbed his debate prep. What he needed was the same answer for every NDA, every stop and frisk and every horse faced lesbian: attack Trump, That's dirt simple and obvious. If he wants to get the "beat Trump" vote then he needs to attack Trump 100% of the time.
Instead he lied about when he stopped stop and frisk and Biden clumsily called him out on the lie. All Bloomberg could do was grimace. Those two old white men belong in a home, not on the debate stage. They can join Bernie there.
Yup. He took the money from Hitlery right after the debates and bought a new house asap. I remember it and it’s in the FR archive threads.
