Thinking we hope for a B. to win this nomination. Any B will do. Bernie too crazy. Buttieg will crash and burn, he has no depth. Biden. Well, he will be Biden. But I hope the nominee is Bloomberg. I think he will most energize all the bitter clingers to come out and vote precisely because he is putting gun control up front. Probably going to lose Virginia that way.

Oops, I forgot Booker. Thats okay, everyone else does too.

I keep thinking quotes like what Ben posted above will make sure Bloomberg is less of a threat than some people think, but I have to admit that the other candidates have also said some crazy stuff and they are not yet at zero. 

The only part that makes me think Bloomberg might be formidable is he already has gun control organizations and paid activists set up in 50 states.  I am just not sure how much that matters.

Oh, I hope his organization comes out. The Virginia gun mess, last night the county next door had 1500 people at the board of supervisors meeting. You could pass a law encouraging using live kittens for fish bait and not get that many people to a meeting.

Buttieg will crash and burn, he has no depth.

Being in Iowa, he starting to show some depth, he is really the only active candidate that isn't banging the beat Trump drum and he is talking about what he would do as a president.

Biden went ape crap crazy in Iowa today.

Iowa- 88% more livable that the rest of the US

And Iowa is 98% white right? Mayor Pete has a black people problem. Biden ought to be done. That mess was weirder than hairy legged finger nibbling. Going that unhinged on an 83 year old potential constituent? What's he going to do with a tough question?

More and more, I'm thinking the Mandelbaums were modeled after the Bidens.

Bloomberg:

So the prospective voter would have to:

- produce a valid government-issued photo ID
- pass a criminal background check
- in California, wait 10 days before voting

Interesting idea.

Interesting how she combines money with "racism". How do wealthy (or even middle class) hispanics and black people feel about that? I exclude Asians because we know they're just wannabe whites.  ;/

Every. Damn. Thing. Is. Racist.

It's official. Buttigieg's campaign admits they discriminate against male employees.

That would seem to be a pretty solid case for a discrimination suit, no?  I believe there is also a federal regulatory agency tasked with preventing this exact thing.

Just checked the polling again and Biden is averaging 27%.

Who are these people?

How is it that Joe Biden inspires this sort of commitment?

Do people support him because they like him and or his policies or is it because they think he'll have Obama in his corner helping him out as an unofficial advisor? And that way it's sort of like voting for Obama again?

Biden willing to destroy thousands of blue-collar jobs in pursuit of a green economy.


Maybe even hundreds of thousands.

Way to go Joe.

The type of folks who believe in this green economy thing were going to vote for the Dem candidate regardless because they're idealists and have a fantastical (not fantastic) view of what society can become. But the blue-collar workers don't share that. They may very well want a more environmentally cleaner country but not at the expense of their jobs.

They need to feed their families today, pay their rent/mortgage and utilities this month, put savings away this year and so forth.

Biden has just made himself an existential threat to them.   

And this doesn't help:

Quote
Biden claimed that blue collar workers could transition into higher paying jobs, but did not lay out plan on how he would magically accomplish that if elected.

We were told that displaced people would transition into higher paying jobs because of free-trade. Didn't happen. It's a sham.

I'm sure the BC workers know that it's a sham.

So Biden has threatened and lied to a major voting bloc. 

Wow.

Hopefully the BC workers have a long-enough memory for this to matter.

Man this guy is a pompous ass. I might dislike him more than all the other candidates. Plus, typical old white guy, he's a day late on the "open office" plan. All the Gen-xers and millennials who pushed it hate that one now, and they want quiet and privacy instead. They certainly (especially millennials) don't want their boss staring at them all day.
