Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumThe real message from yesterdays primary was for Bloomberg
Now that Biden is back in the game, does Bloomberg continue to play the spoiler or does he slip out the backdoor quietly? Biden proved last night that he's the big dog and you don't fuck with the big dog. Heading into SC Biden's got the high-ground and Bernie will struggle, this is the real battle we've been waiting for. Plus with Warren now having successfully discredited Bloomberg, is there any reason for him to be in this at all.
I suspect on Sunday morning next week we'll be looking at an entirely different field with Biden on top.

(182,629 posts)Mike's media buys are much more relevant. I think, I hope, after Super Tuesday it's Joe and Mike left.

OR you get a guy who will continue Obama's legacy.
But it's too good to be true. I'm not holding my breath.

(30,803 posts)Especially considering Pete was right on his heels.
SC should be quite interesting, and Super Tuesday will tell the tale.

(32,017 posts)He feels the breath of the grim reaper on the back of his neck, and he has decided to do something good with his money before he dies. His first goal is to defeat Trump. Good for him! Being President of the United States would be an added bonus, but there's no way he's giving up. He's got nothing better to do.

(50,918 posts)very effectively fighting climate change, and fighting successfully for sensible gun laws wasn't doing something good with his money?

(6,042 posts)So Biden has factors against him that no one was seeing until now.
Does his campaign even have a plan for Russian aggression in the primary?
Is the republican plan to flood the Dem primary growing ot fizzling?
If don't understand these factors Bloomberg will remain

(11,972 posts)No, he proved he's not dead. We won't know how much life he has in him until after South Carolina. It would be silly for anyone to make any decision about Biden's strength without waiting at least until then.

MineralMan, I just want you to know that although I am new to posting I been reading your posts for years. Surely I don't agree with a lot of what you post but I do agree with much and I've learned a huge amount from it since I'm newer to the game (although not young myself). Thanks for all the wisdom you posted over the years political/unrelated and some really insightful thoughts.

(8,052 posts)Being arrested in South Africa. For some reason Dems are ignoring that. If Biden should get the not-Bernie vote and get the nomination, were not going to hear the end of it from the GOP, who will show him as going senile. Theyll also dig up more Hunter Biden stuffyou notice thats been on the back burner, but if Joe is in the GE thats going to make a comeback. Bloombergs past problems, by contrast, wont hurt in a GE, only a Dem primary.
