"The panic of the establishment is traceable to the new political reality."

Yes, an honest man--President Donald Trump--is going to expose their crimes and corruption and throw the lot of them in jail!

I’m convinced Bloomberg will be the nominee for several reasons. Number one being, his own vast campaign money. He checks the rest of the boxes, global warming, abortion, and gun control. The DEMS could run David Duke and still win New York so that’s a throw away. Frankly, his comments on redlining, stop and frisk are not negatives to a large part of the country.

I’m not afraid of any of the democrat candidates. Not one. I’m just thinking that Bernie gives the GOP the best chance of a complete wipe out in November, that helps us get the US House back and possibly a seat or two in the US Senate.

However, I want Biden and Warren to stay in as long as possible in order to maintain the huge waste of democrat campaign contributions and time.

He’s rich enough to buy the nomination. However it doesn’t mean he gets it. Many have tried but failed. President Trump could have tried but he did not. He won the nomination honestly.

...Buttigieg and Klobuchar, competing to be the moderate alternative to Sanders...

Neither are 'moderates', especially Buttigieg. He's just as radical as Bernie Sanders. He father was a radical.........

They tolerated the repugnant, Marxist bums. Now they will die by that sword.

"Looks like the DEMs are pushing for the Buttplug to be the nominee."

Yeah, it makes sense really... The dim's will be thinking that Trump won't be able to attack him because they would call him a "homophobe"... I can hear Trump now, "Hey, I'm not afraid of fagots, I just don't like'um." :)

A bunch of campaign posters showing him kissing his “husband” will drive away the rest.

Well, Slo-Joe has never won a primary and doubt SC will be the his first. 3rd place would be my guess.

They are in a world of hurt. If Bloom wins, Bernies peeps will stay home. If Bloom doesn’t win, he will go 3rd party. Actually Bernie may go 3rd party too.

You’re telling me. If you’re normal to any degree seeing that crap makes you want to barf.

The SocDems only need for the primary season to end with no majority for any one candidate. When that happens the DNC will choose the Nominee and it will not necessarily be one of the primary contenders. I think the Party Poobahs would prefer that result.

There was an article posted on FR that B-plug’s dad was a card carrying commie. I doubt the nut fell far from the tree, which means he is likely running as a stealth commie, just like Zer0 did twice.

IMO, Biden & his family have been corrupt for a very long time...years & years.

The rest of the Dem Establishment isn’t any better.

Ask yourself how Dirty Harry Reid went from being a bag boy bringing daily receipts from brothels into the mob masters in Las Vegas to a multi millionaire when he got out of Congress.

Look long & hard at all ‘land swaps in the Las Vegas area.

The irony is that Bloomberg is mostly (not completely) correct regarding crime, and he is completely correct on the red-lining issue (he didn’t get to be worth 10 or more times what Trump is worth by being stupid or unrealistic, even if he has totalitarian tendencies). The 2008 financial crisis can be traced directly to Jimmy Carter and the Community Financing Act (not the exact title, but it led to massive new loans to people who couldn’t afford them), and Clinton’s reauthorization of the same in the early ‘90s (and Janet Reno threatening to stop mergers and even pull bank charters if banks didn’t cooperate).

But the irrational/emotional Dem voters (about 95% of them) will simply not accept that, which means that Bloomberg is dead in the water for the nomination despite his billions. He will maybe get 5% of the black vote in their primaries.

Buttplug - they’re pinning their hopes on a 37-year-old guy whose biggest accomplishment has been to be the so-so mayor of a fairly small city? Good luck with that. Add to that the fact that he calls someone with a package his “wife” - that is NOT going to go over well with most people, and certainly not in the privacy of the voting booth. People sense a psychological problem, and don’t want to elevate the person with that problem to the office of President.

“Agree. Particularly Buttigieg. Moderate? No.”


He is most definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing - he’s an outright Marxist, but comes across as very moderate because he doesn’t yell, doesn’t wave his arms around, doesn’t have Schiff-like bug-eyes, and doesn’t call for anyone’s death or imprisonment. So he APPEARS to be moderate...but underneath that facade he is a wild-eyed radical who would more effectively destroy this country than Obama - because I think that he is both smarter and a harder worker; he never felt “entitled” like Obama, he was just taught to hate this country and its system since an early age. Of all of these candidates, he scares me the most - though I believe that he has virtually no chance of winning the nomination or, if he somehow does that, the election. But at age 37, he’s not going away any time soon.

I’m here to tell you that Hispanic voters are the same way - the men are very macho, and despise homosexuals. Their women - oh, you should hear them when the topic comes up. I know, because I’m married to a Latina and I’ve been paying attention for the last 21 years.

Buttplug doesn’t get the Dem nomination - no matter whether the bosses want him to or not - because he won’t get their two primary minority bases to vote for him (and he has already pissed off a large number of Blacks for some reason that I don’t know - or care - about).

“This is a right wing author saying that the left is in a panic.”


Just because he may have an axe to grind, and enjoy writing this article, doesn’t mean that he is wrong. Don’t confuse the messenger and the message. If you have actual reasons why you think that he’s wrong, please let us all know.
