Klobuchar stood out from the rest last night, IMO while Yang, Steyer, and Joe did not help their case. I also found it odd that Bloomberg's name was even brought up and debated. The guy wasn't even there on stage but still manage to get some free air time.
Yeah, which begs the question; "Why?" From what I remember, one of the "mods" initially posed the question about Bloomberg to one of the debaters (Warren?, not sure) and then some others chimed in. I think that while the current crop of candidates take turns at criticizing each other, Bloomberg will likely gain more and more traction. Just my 2 cents.
Bloomberg is so low in the polls that it's going to take a minor miracle for him to gain traction and I like Bloomberg. My favorite is Buttigieg but I don't think he's going to make it either.
I'm more bullish on Bloomberg's chances than I was. He's putting his money to good use. Money isn't everything, but it is something. If all the other candidates are viewed as damaged goods after the first 4 contests, then he's got a decent shot at being the next hot thing. If someone else has momentum coming out of SC, then probably not. barfo
I agree. For the early part of Bloomberg's still early candidacy, I would have pegged his chances at closer to 0% than 1%. Now I'd probably upgrade his chances at being the eventual nominee at something like 1-2%. He's still a fringe candidate, but one that could win in a universe much like ours.
Don't you think he ought to show a spark of popularity before we say he has a significant credible chance?
For people who either vote strictly democrat and/or the people who simply cannot stomach another 4 years of Trump, instead of looking at platforms/policies I think the bigger and more important picture is who has the better chance of actually defeating Trump in November. And the more I look at things, Bloomberg seems to have the best chance...plus, like I said earlier, he "has the correct change".
Yup. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-democratic-field-in-national-poll-after-iowa https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-democrats-poll-idUSKBN2042GP
Stop and frisk. Game over. He will get Kamala’d When the numbers start coming out regarding how many black people his policies imprisoned in NYC.
Cities operate jails and the state or federal government operate prisons. By the way, Giuliani brags that he started Stop and Frisk in New York City. Trump advocated for Stop and Frisk when he ran for President.
