You're really citing poll numbers this far out

If you're going to be like other voters and try to be pundits about who is "electable", then the only data to even try to make the guess on who that is needs to be brought up. Otherwise it's based on no evidence just feelings

He cares very deeply about corruption

Imagine how much people hated Hillary in 2016. Now imagine how much a country full of ignorant, spiteful, bigoted iceholes would hate to vote for a northeastern socialist Jew with a New York accent.

Trump will wipe the farging floor with him everywhere except the northeast and west coast. Forget the south and Midwest. He has no chance there. Texas? No. Forget Ohio, PA and about 30 other flyover states too.

Bloomberg is the only guy with a shot to out-Trump Trump. Yeah, he is gross and I wish the Dems had anyone better, but this is the reality we face. So get out those gas masks and get ready to vote Bloomberg especially if he picks a centrist woman as a running mate.

the punditization of the country is perhaps the worst outcome of the trump presidency

every single one of you morons, myself included, didnt think that retarded orange farg could win. he did. nobody has any clue what is going to happen in november. a monkey could pop out of mike pences taint and unveil a magic diamond that reincarnates grover cleveland who then is elected by the house after an electoral college tie.

hunker down, shut the farg up, knock on doors, donate and farg bloomberg

Munson · February 18, 2020, 08:01:29 PM

^^^what he said

Also Romey, Bernie is the most likes Democrat in the race.

MDS · February 18, 2020, 08:23:45 PM

bernie isnt the most likely, he is the overwhelming favorite. with proportional delegate allocation, theres just not simply enough delegates to go around unless every non bernie voter coalesces around ____. like bloomberg or pete or biden need to pull 2/3 to 3/4 of voters. this is highly improbable? impossible? not going to happen?

joe biden is out of money. zero people (0) of color prefer amy or pete. bloomberg can bombard your grandma's tv with all the commercials he wants but he cant do anything about his history of racism and sexual harassment. i. just. dont. see. any. way. else. for. this. to. go.

Not to pundit it up but the people who actually say they regret voting for Trump and the ones who "don't like how Trump acts but he gets shtein done" might go Bloomberg. Or maybe any Democrat will be painted to be such a socialist that the country wouldn't survive four years of him

I don't know any "Bernie Bros' in real life but they are real apparently and he has some vile people on his team saying disgusting things on twitter this week. threatening the nevada culinary workers union etc. I guess people are down to the gotta act like trump to beat him stage but it just doesn't feel right.

they have been like that since 2016....they are totally repugnant people...the misogyny in particular is off the charts...and bernie allows it all if not outright stokes it...the democratic field is an absolute embarrassment....you had four years to do something about trump is this is what they have come up with

phattymatty · February 19, 2020, 08:54:36 AM

the people i'm referencing are senior women in his campaign - real twitter shteinheads and i'm not even on twitter much - but yeah seem like terrible people nonetheless.

phattymatty · February 19, 2020, 08:56:21 AM

it's so strange to me - i get how horrible republicans can act like that but there is no need to be a bully when you're screaming about getting someone free healthcare.

ice grillin you · February 19, 2020, 08:57:17 AM

his admin is not really different from trumps...the game plan...the anger....the hatred of the press etc...are very similar

Also, haven't seen any of Bernie's actual people "attack" the union, though I did see them point out that the union leader's framing of M4A being "bad" for unions as being a disingenuous at best argument.

Munson · February 19, 2020, 10:53:15 AM

Also has there ever been a more transparent "fight" then the Barr/Trump "feud" going on right now?

Media falling right into the trap too

I guess that's just supporters in general and not campaign people but saw some pretty shady shtein by some paid bernie people this week as well.

it's like they don't understand that most democrats are going to fall in line with bernie regardless, so why the hatred. that's why i think unfortunately bernie is our only hope. centrist / moderate democrats will fall in line with the hard left if need be just because of trump. i'm not sure the opposite can be said of bernie bros.
