Bloomberg promised to back whoever the nominee is.  If he's not selected, he's still planning to spend Spend SPEND to beat Trump.

If I were still in the Primary race, I'd be pulling out all stops to win.  How many times does any candidate in the General election have a multi-billionaire promising to write their campaign a blank check?

His promise might be his own undoing if it motivates another candidate to work harder.

Of course, if another candidate wins by mud-slinging in Mini Mike's direction, it could be a tense campaign with Bloomberg having to fund the mud-slinger.   :rofl:

It'll never happen.   DNC will cheat way too much for any Republican to ever win another popular vote.

When electoral college goes, the USA is done.

Anyone watch the debate today?  I watched the last 75 min of it.  Seemed like all are losers.  Biden promised gun control and Bloomberg was at a loss for words at times.

It was hilarious to watch them trying to kill each other while chanting the need to come together in order to beat Trump.

I was looking at the highlights from a POLITICO video to see which one was going to stand back and hope for a VP invitation.

From what I saw, Mini Mike was the punching bag for all, while Biden was left pretty much alone by everyone except Bloomberg. 

Warren went after everybody.  I think she's figured out a VP pick is not in her immediate future, so picking fights with the entire field only attempts to help her in the polling.

Even when Biden tried to punch back at Bloomberg, between his stammering and dumb insults, he still looked weak.  Bloomberg was also weak, but better than Biden.

They all piled onto the "He's buying this nomination!" bandwagon, and Bllomberg had nothing to counter with.  After Bernie blasted him for the immorality of being so much richer than so many others, the moderator (Todd?) asked Bloomberg if he felt he should have the amount of wealth he does.  You could see the wheels turning, and Bloomberg finally said, "Yes, I do.  I worked hard.  And I'm giving alot of it away to the DNC and many others."  Basically his answer was, he's using his vast fortune to influence our elections and shape the nation as he wants it to be -- because he can -- not because he has the best ideas.

As I said before, Bloomberg promised to support whoever wins the nomination.  After tonight, he just might be reconsidering the dollar amount of his support.

I have been having to deal with my wife’s issues and with selling our house so I had to miss them last night. And I have not had the chance to watch any vids of the good stuff yet. I’m looking forward to seeing Bloomberg getting his ass handed to him.

I did see Bernie get attacked pretty good by Bloomberg, tho. Being rich and having 3 houses. Bernie came back to Bloomberg with where he lives. Kinda weak comeback but still I love the fireworks.

My opinion, a bunch of millionaires bashing a billionaire for being too rich is just too funny. All of these people have more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetime. I don’t begrudge them being rich. I am pissed at them for thinking they speak for me when they attack their own kind. I don’t see much of a difference between being millionaire rich and billionaire rich. Just a lifestyle difference. Another thought I have is when all of these people have reached a point where they no longer have to work because of how rich they are. And all of them are that rich IMHO. Why are they seeking the most powerful job in the world? Is it power and money? Or is it to make a difference in this world? I’ll never know for sure because I doubt any of them will ever become president.

The debates were brutal for Mini Mike. All I can say is WOW! No love for a billionaire.

It seems like Mini Mike is trying for a brokered convention where he will have a good chance of getting a bunch of super delegates. Enough to take the nomination away from Bernie, who is the odds on favorite? It seems like that is where we might be heading.

Who knew Mini Mike was such an asshole? Seems like a bigger asshole than Trump.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

On TV, Trump is an asshole, but everyone who has met him in person is amazed that his personality is very different from his TV personality.  Can't say the same for Bloom.

One of my favs is when his limo got stuck on the side of the road, a couple stopped to help.  He then paid off their mortgage.  He also was at ground zero helping how he could, not by his manpower, but financially.

I wouldn't say he's an asshole. Just straightforward and blunt.

Bernie sweeps Nevada Primary.  He is now in a definite lead in the Dem race.

MSM melting down, because they absolutely do not want Sanders to win the nomination -- again!

It'll be entertaining to see how the party tries to steal a second nomination from Bernie.

Wow! Bernie 46% with Biden at not so close second at 19.6%. Overall I’m surprised at the spread in Nevada, but also interesting how things change as candidates fall off, or continue to hold out for hope.

The 3rd place and below are hanging on because they know the DNC doesn't want Bernie.  At the convention even the pledged delegates can vote for anyone they want after the first vote if there is no clear winner.  Bernie is not going to be the nominee if the DNC has their way.

Bernie can be bought. Although Bloomberg had a terrible performance he brought out the fact that Bernie has 3 homes and is a miilionaire. Bernie tried to rebut that but c'mon man...how many people of the working class have a summer home?

Correction, that third one is not a "home"... "Like thousands of other Vermonters I have a summer CAMP".

And I liked Bloomberg's response when Bernie first said "Well, I work in Washington..." to which Bloomberg said "That's the first problem...".

The "summer camp" lakefront home in North Hero was purchased in 2016 for $575,000.

This is where Bernie goes camping in the summer:

I saw this morning that Bernie got just over 6,100 votes in the NV caucus. Someone on facebook mentioned that there are more people waiting in line to take a piss at a Trump rally.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Bloomberg is going to be in the next debate. But he won’t be in the next caucus. Barring a brokered convention I think he waited a little too long to get into the race and it is hurting him. Especially when he gets attacked in the debates and then no one can vote for him. Seems like he is in the debates just to be a punching bag. But we’ll see when we get to the convention.
