Alright, it's gotta be the bolded. We'll figure out something Bloomberg related close to Super Tuesday.
Fuck, but that's good too. If she survives NV!
I hope so because it's pretty scary the people in cable news most likely to sometimes criticize Trump are also like "but maybe the Jewish candidate is a secret fascist".
He's using the same logic that all the democrats are using: that the electorate will probably vote for anyone who isn't Trump. He's just taken that idea to the absolute extreme. Bloomberg is like the 2nd horseman of the capitalist apocalypse.

This. He's a conservative with a grudge and the money to act on it.
You can dislike a person and also know you should capitulate to them for the benefit of your wallet.
It's the same reason no one on Earth believes Bloomberg wouldn't flip on a nominee like Bernie. He'll protect his own interests no matter the cost.
This posted here? Michael Bloomberg explaining that the financial crisis was the fault of poor people of color and redlining was actually the best thing. I'm not American so have no say in your elections but having just seen this I felt the need to share it.
Cos this guy is a racist asshole.

What if it's been a work all along to build underdog heat for him when he wins Super Tuesdayslam?
I mean, it's not a totally unfair comparison. Remains to be seen how much of the vote Bernie coalesces as the field continues to whittle down.
although if you're going to put it that way you have to put warren in with Bernie
From The Graduate:
"One word: tents"
Or the edgy option:
"OK Late Bloomers"
lol, Bernie on CNN called James Carville a hack when baited by Cooper, and then CNN immediately changed the chyron to "Sanders: Carville is a hack".
No lies detected, but it's so exhausting how shallow these networks are. He just got done explaining his platform and dispelling Republican talking points against it and all they care about are slap fights.

It doesn't. It the apotheosis of empty centrist rhetoric
Well you see, some people don't want Medicare, apparently.
Democratic Primary featuring Bloomberg from the Republican Party
New Hampshire Results, Nevada Preliminaries, and Second Preference Poll

Well, I'm a little late, but we're finally out of New Hampshire!
Congrats to the 1,222 people who correctly predicted Bernie Sanders would win the NH Primary! 🎉 I would congratulate you on your foresight but uh honestly this was the easy one. Out are Yang and Patrick (who?) and the field looks to winnow more as Biden and Warren (😭)'s disastrous showing in NH puts them both on precarious ground. Pete got a strong second, and Klobuchar surged to the top,presumably on the weight of Swingline aficionados pro-life Democrats...? Okay, man, she's just so bad now.
Now, on to Nevada, for the second caucus of the year. Hope y'all are bracing yourselves.
Wow, I was super optimistic about Iowa when I wrote that. Also, fun fact, Nevada almost had digital Caucuses this year in an effort to democratize the process, can you even imagine. They're still using a digital counting tool, though...
And as an aside, if you're looking for good polling from there, don't bother. Most firms don't even try.
New preference poll going up in just a moment. It'll be closed in a week's time and replaced by the Nevada Prediction Poll.

It's not Sanders/Warren vs. moderates. It's Sanders vs. moderates. It's pitting literally one candidate against a broad tent, which makes it obvious how fucking inane the whole comparison is.
More from Bloomberg's minority outreach.

Bloomberg once blamed end of 'redlining' for 2008 collapse
WASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of the 2008 economic collapse, then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the elimination of a discriminatory housing practice known as “redlining” was responsible for instigating the meltdown.

If pete was serious, then he would post stats that show the union's health care package being better.
So Bernie could still technically win Iowa? And with that DP Chairman going, maybe the next caucus won't be such a clusterfuck.
I remember the prevailing consensus was that once the anti-Trump field consolidated in the 2016 GOP primary, he was finished.
I don't think this is wrong? According to polling data on second choices
Buttigieg - 11% to sanders, 26% to warren, 63% to moderates
Biden - 19% to sanders, 13% to warren, 32% to moderates
Warren - 33% to sanders, rest to moderates
Even if we generously give all of Warren votes to sanders (which as we see from Warren voter second choice is nowhere near the case) the overall moderate vote is still way bigger than Bernie's. We all know that if the moderate vote wasn't being split up the way it is now, Bernie would not have a path to winning these primaries. So once the field has narrowed down...
ding ding ding. Nothing more needs to be said. Fall in line.
Republicans primary were winner take it all, Democratic primaries are proportional.
I said it hours ago, people need to stop with the "LANES"
Sanders and Biden actually have an overlap of voters with each other and...... Trump
The "moderate voltron" is gonna come into play if a brokered convention occurs, chances of which are currently literally tied with Bernie getting the nom in the first round.
Not sure why you guys think this is some kind of joke. The moderates will fall in line behind Bloomberg when the time comes.
This isn't even talking about superdelegates as well.
This is incredible. And it's just the beginning of the primary, what will happen when he'll start to win more and more delegates?
