Good shot by Bloomberg.

#902 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 325 weeks ago

I dont think he's done. Not a great night but its not over. Who else can beat Trump?  Flagg might be right & this ends up split at the DNC.

This thing is wide open now. Bloomberg is done. How could he go on so unprepared? He's making Biden look good.

I think in practice they told him to stay calm. He seemed to be following advice. Plus I think calm is kinda his nature or debating style. Mess with his money & he'll get angry. Bet on that. big_smile

Biden is just wacky. Fumbling his thoughts for words constantly.  Bernie reminds me of Larry David playing Bernie Sanders on SNL. its uncanny.

I mean, this is painful. Bloomberg is going to have to spend another 500 million in ads tomorrow.

lol.

Buttegeig is actually likeable  won't win or do much damage, but he does better in debates than interviews. He comes across as fake in interviews but authentic in the debate.

Warren started out low. Desperation is not a good look on her.

I dunno, I can see that backfiring. Keep in mind Kamala didn't get a whole lot of support from AA voters, & she had a history of harsh sentences for blacks with petty crimes (weed).

Mitch interesting thought about Bernie as VP. I dont see it happening tho. He went too far in his life being some radical, this would close it out by joining a Wall St financial billionaire. I dont even think he wants vp that bad. Also dont think Bloomberg would choose him, except for the unity & vote totals


Bloomberg is make or break tonight  Flagg good insight into possibilities  if Bloomberg doesnt dominate early on it could be a split convention. Best hope is Klobuchar does really well tonight and goes far, and while she may not win it (barring a stellar run), shed be a good veep nod for Bb, but needs to bring some supporters & name rec.

This does not bode well.  Sanders is expected to win Saturday in Nevada big, which should bump him a few points in SC for next week.  If he takes both SC and NV, he's going to have a big bump in Super Tuesday.

It wouldny bode well  would make an interesting election although many dems wouldnt vote & Id see a likely Trump win. I think HRC would inject a short 3rd party campaign in the fall.

I think Bloomberg does some damage in NV & those polls arent up to date yet.

I can't understand why someone doesn't just call him out on that. Hillary should have early on. It'd take 60 votes to pass Medicare for All, just like it took 60 for ACA, and that almost didn't happen with a dying Ted Kennedy. It'd be hard to get all Dems to vote for something that radical & controversial, let alone 5-10 Repubs.


BTW, good episode of Frontline airs on PBS tonight, seems it takes a look at Amazon:  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/amazon-empire/
