    Think of all the homeless vets Bloomberg could have helped with that money.

    I hear none of those poor black children would have been subjected to that awful Flint, MI water if Mike would have spent that money on fixing their water system.
    I know this is a trope we are all making fun of, but...

    Honestly, that could be a winning move. Michigan is an important state, and it would certainly put his money where his mouth is so to speak.

    “Hey, remember that shitty water that we’ve known about for years and still haven’t fixed? I fixed it.”

    More interesting than billboards at least. And if he loses (which is very likely) at least he did a good thing.

    I’d at least be curious to see how that played out.

    Seeing this debate after the last debate makes me think that Hilary is looming.

    Not sure if she’s recovered from the last Trumpin’.

    We may see the evil genius behind the Bloomberg plan tonight. All of a sudden its gang up on Bernie time although Lizzie is still going after Mini Mike because she wants the VP slot

    Mini Mike sat back and blew half a billion on TV ads while the so called and alleged moderates blew themselves out of the race. Even Pravda can't make Old Joe not look like a senile old fool.

    After a round of beat up on the billionaire everyone woke up Sunday and said -wait, we're running a socialist? Bloomberg has veered strong to the left but compared to Bernie he's a moderate the media can sell

    We will find out on Super Tuesday if Mike knew what he was doing.

    He has no core base or beliefs but he isn't Trump, allegedly, so there is that.

    If I were Trump I'd rather face Mini Mike than months of Denmark is cool and Castro was a good guy sometimes bullshit to prop up Bernie and his base which is rabid as fuck. And will turn out

    There is no reason to turn out to vote for Mini Mike

    Nice analysis, but there is no way Bernie can ever beat Trump, unless Trump falls ill or something extraordinary like that.

    Precisely what just about everyone said about Trump in relation to Hillary. Bernie is a threat until he’s not.

    Disagree. I'd put odds at 90% or better Trump beats him, right now. But this isn't November. Anything can happen. And betting on people doing stupid shit has rarely failed me.

    Trump's only threats are a sinking economy (if the Coronavirus causes more damage to markets, for example) and Trump himself doing something that repulses the entire nation beyond repair. That notwithstanding, this country is still too center-right at its core to elect a flaming socialist. Maybe in 20 years, but not now.

    We are not in disagreement there. I just think the global economy tanking or something is a real, but small, possibility, and that could have disastrous consequences for this election. I do agree that the vast majority of this country is not ready for a crazy old coot socialist who yells all the time and can't pay for anything he is proposing and doesn't even get along with his own party.

    IF Sanders wins the democratic nomination, it will look something like the 1980 presidential election when Reagan walloped Carter. 100% Trump wins.

    Bernie will come nowhere close to winning the electoral college. As he’s done well so far in the caucuses, the dims are starting to shit all over themselves and are starting to come apart. J. Carville is shitting bricks and giving dims warnings, Chrissy tingle Mathews is not feeling it up his leg and being vocal about it to where Bern followes are wanting his head, the talking heads on MSM like Cooper and Cuomo are burning Bern in interviews....they all know the stakes of a Bernie nomination and the real cost.

    Not only is he unelectable in the US per the EC, but Trump will eat him into another MI.

    The Dims are in real trouble as of now with their candidates, they are feeling the REAL Bern and they are starting to panic. Borrowing some unseen circumstance, Trump is in the fast lane. Trumps only competitor right now is Trump himself.
