Not sure Biden has the stamina, New Hampshire and Iowa almost gave him a brain aneurism. I wouldn't discount the Bernie Bros either, very grass roots with a tinge of Antifa. I wager to say most party dems will say, either 4 years of beating up on Trump or destroying the entire US economy and may just stay home.
He outright admitted to having BOUGHT 100 Democrat political positions this last go-around and he's literally paying the salaries of people to work *in* AG offices, he's convinced he can buy the presidency too. Not to say it isn't bought in the first place - just not so obviously.
Even money can't buy charisma.....
Did you miss Saturday's primary?
Things have changed significantly. We probably will not have final numbers until tomorrow or Thursday as all the ballots will need to be counted. I believe Bernie will start out strong based on the early write-ins but Biden will close the gap. I guess we'll see. Now if Biden can keep the delegate count close maybe Obama and Harris will jump in on his bandwagon. That could really hurt Bernie.
When you Bloomberg's kind of money he can pretty much buy anything. You do not have to be charismatic to be elected to office.
He's a new yorker and jumps on any train that advances his ideals at the time. IMO he doesn't fit neatly in either camp and tries to have it both ways. Hence the flip-flops.
Have you LOOKED at what he's been buying with his money and the progroms he's been pushing? The guy isn't remotely a conservative. He's business friendly on some things and a "do gooder" totalitarian in others. He's a businessman and technocrat who understands that gov't is a cesspool of incompetence and graft. And that data and measurement should get top billing. I have no objection to that either in the general case.
No objection there. But instead of torturing the rules, as he was late to the party he should have backed an existing business-friendly candidate of which there were at least two. Otherwise "rules" mean nothing.
Initially he had a novel information offering, which was fine. Kudos for spotting the opportunity and more power to him. But his dominance of the terminal and information business wasn't entirely above-board - just because he wasn't prosecuted for Illegal tying and anti-trust violations doesn't mean his hands are clean.
Sound like anyone else you know? Trump is neither a Republican nor a Conservative at heart. You need to read up on his history in the 70's and 80's. As much as you want you cannot have it both ways.
Of course, not now. He's running as a Democrat. Again, check his history as to when he was Mayor of NY.
Sorry, missed one.
I don't believe I made any comment as to Donny's hands being clean or otherwise.
Which 'guy' are we talking about? I'm no big fan of the Donald but I'll take him over mini-me every day and twice on Sunday. I like both in the sense that they are both "f'k you" people and don't mind stepping hard on the establishment toes to steer the ship a few points off it's historic trajectory. But Bloomberg is up to his eyebrows in Chinese influence and absolutely can not be counted on to keep the pressure on and further curtail their economic and political influence on this country.
My bad on "hands". I'm just so used to hearing about how corrupt the left is, I instinctively go right. I think both sides at any given time are equally guilty. Thanks for straightening me out.
I'm the good looking one.....Sorry, I tend to mix up you and Doc..
Actually Biden didn't really start making any money until after he left the Vice President's office. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michel...idate-built-a-9-million-fortune/#4ace218b104d Certainly not in a league with Trump and Bloomberg.
