Internet Poll if you want to add your vote

Elizabeth Warren's takedown of Bloomberg shows she is the one to take Trump down

That was my main takeaway tonight.

The looks Bloomberg just gave Pete were eerie

Im I the only one who noticed that?

Bloomberg dropping like a rock on betting market

POLL: Sanders leads with African-American voters for the first time

Because Trump is so dangerous & insane shouldn't we be voting exclusively on who has the best shot

at him this round? Even if that means rejecting someone you really love for someone who may suck but at least will be sane? We are talking about the Supreme Court, all kinds of corruption that is just going to get worse and worse. All I can say is that I will be thinking long and hard when I get into that booth and be voting exclusively on who I think has the best shot at Trump. I do want to see the debates with Bloomberg in them. That is going to tell me a lot.

I am not saying who has the best shot yet. I have heard good arguments both ways. My body aches worrying about us making the right decision and this post is only to get us to think about deciding ONLY on statistically who you think has the best chance to beat Trump.

When you have a potential Hitler in place, shouldn't we all become experts only on statistic chances rather than perfect policy?

Yes, my handle is Quixote but Sancho was a bit sharper than me. I love tilting at Windmills but not this election.

Yes this is a push poll.

Why did betting markets suddenly flip to Bernie winning Iowa?

Other than Bloomberg having a lot of money, I don't understand why anyone would pick him over Biden

or another moderate? Biden has a fraction of the baggage and some really great plans he has put forward and a ton of experience. I wish Bloomberg had just sunk his money into helping the Dems rather than jumping in to this. He will probably sink Biden who had a shot at a comeback if he was to do well in SC. That seems to be evaporating with Bloomberg stealing his thunder.

I guess some felt Biden wasn't performing strong enough and so Bloomberg was the backup quarterback? I don't get it. I like Biden a billion times better than stop and frisk Bloomberg. And I honestly gave Bloomberg a look a couple of weeks ago before determining he was pretty much my last choice.

That being said, I don't think Bloomberg winning over Bernie in a brokered convention will fracture the party that much this year. Trump is so extreme I think even some of the most ardent Sanders supporters would realize Trump needs to be stopped. It would be our job to talk sanity into them. Saying that as a Sanders supporter.

Bloomberg may be paving the way for Sanders to win by splitting the moderate vote even more

He doesn't pull much from Sanders and he is completely caving Biden's numbers as you can see from the graph here:

Trump's Approval Rating Is Underwater In 8 Key Battleground States He Won In 2016

MON, JAN 13TH, 2020 BY SEAN COLAROSSI

Donald Trump’s approval rating is underwater in a handful of key battleground states that he can’t afford to lose if he wants another four years in the White House.

According to new data released by Civiqs on Monday, Trump’s approval rating is upside down in eight states he won in 2016 that are absolutely must-win for him in 2020: Michigan (-10), Pennsylvania (-6), Wisconsin (-6), Arizona (-6), Florida (-4), Georgia (-4), Iowa (-3) and North Carolina (-1).

In other states like Alaska, Texas, Ohio and South Carolina, the president’s approval rating is in positive territory, but the fact that it is split so closely should have the Trump campaign concerned.

These numbers will make it difficult for Trump to win a second term
There are still ten months of campaigning until Americans get to choose their next president, and a lot can change. Democrats still have to choose their nominee.

But approval ratings this low in states he carried in 2016 – when Trump barely won the Electoral College – will make it difficult for the president to win a second term.

If these numbers hold and Trump ends up losing the states where Civiqs says his approval rating is underwater, then it would be a Democratic landslide in 2020.
