I agree.
Do you feel sorry for the Pubs because their "field" sucks too?

HiLaRioUs?
I find it interesting that people are getting off on the Bloomberg debacle last night and feel he's done.
I say that because it seems people want to ignore Trump's transgressions and who he is didn't stop him from being elected President in 2016.
I'm not saying I think it doesn't matter and Bloomberg will get the nomination, I'm just saying I feel it may be foolish for people to believe he's 100% done based on last night.
Remember, a whole shit load of people thought Trump was done when he was exposed for being who he is when he ran in 2016.
I'm curious as to what percentage of Democratic voters watched the debate last night, how many of them said they would absolutely not vote for Bloomberg in their Primary based on last night alone, and how many would not vote for Bloomberg in the Presidential election should he get the nomination.
My uneducated guess is the first part of my question is less than 10%, the second part of my question is less than 20% (I said "based on last night alone"), and the 3rd part of my question is less than 20%.

On a related note.
I am typically a compassionate person. Sure all is fair in love and war, and I understand the need to point out your opponents flaws, but I will NEVER vote for someone because they put down someone else.
I've said it before, I was pretty much 50/50 in 2008 and then Giuliani's smug address at the RNC did McCain no favors what so ever in my decision. Foolish or not, it actually affected me enough to sway me towards Obama because I wanted NOTHING to do with Giuliani and the perceived arrogance of the Republican Party after watching him.

Can you do polls on this site? Id be interested to see who would win the democratic nomination on this site in anonymous poll scenario.

All of the candidates to the right of Sanders and Warren need to lock themselves in Henry T's and not emerge until they've aligned behind a single person. One of them, Harris/Booker, literally Captain Fucking Crunch, I don't care.

The Democrats are doing the same fucking thing the Republicans did in the 2016 primaries, which is where (generally) reasonable people self-cannibalized, and a fucking lunatic with a militant plurality stole the nomination.

Yes i think that is an accurate summary

it’s ok

we can all just blame the pubs, since they like to blame the dems for trump

I saw nothing on that stage last night that would eliminate mb from my consideration.

ew and bs were never a consideration. uncle joe is getting close to elimination from my consideration.

mayor pete, the gal that looks like my old hs librarian and mb are all still in my consideration.

I saw a dead body on stage multiple times last night, and it was Bloomberg. But his heavy spending on ads will keep him in it for a while longer. But he'll eventually fizzle out.

It's a 3 person race. Bernie, Pete and Amy.

It's not the Democrats who created Trump. It was the "ruling class" more generally. Most of them are on the Left, yes, but it also includes people like Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Mittens Romney, Denny Hastert, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, etc.

Their contempt for the people gave us Trump. And it will likely give us Bernie too.

Wrong year

What candidate on either side is most likely to address the deficit?

Gotta be Mike, right?

So close. So close.

Republicans got elected by crowing that Dems are terrible at controlling deficits. Once elected they run up unmanageable deficits resulting in Republicans claiming that deficits don’t matter. Dems come in and try to clean up the mess. Republicans block everything claiming that it takes too long to clean up the mess they made in the first place!

Lather, rinse, repeat.

So only Republicans have ran up deficits? Who knew!

You think the guy that is trying to buy an election is the candidate most likely to be fiscally responsible? Interesting..

Not since McCain, 12 years ago, has any Republican seriously addressed deficits.

“democrats come in and try to curb spending”

Oh my. That’s the most fun I’ve had all morning.

And the answer to that is Bernie. Who has a plan to make everything free but has 0 plan for funding his promises. His ludacris tax plan is stilm trullions and trillions short of funding his ideas.

That makes absolutely no sense.
