You assume Bloomberg is in it to win it.

He is not!

Biden was not in the race to win it either. He was just a place holder. Someone to suck the air out of the campaign and block any of the other candidates from gaining any momentum and getting enough delegates to win on the first ballot.

The goal is a brokered convention where the elite will do a bait and switch.

When Binden was not able to keep it up long enough to Finnish Bloomberg stepped in to become the replacement.

Look how amateurish Bloomberg’s campaign has been. His goal is to keep any of the other candidates from getting enough delegates to win on first ballot.

Bloomberg wants to smear President Trump and so he is going along with this charade.

Mr. Excitement’s decision to participate in the L/V debate was a fatal strategic blunder
committed by a little man consumed with unbridled hubris.

Some conjectured Bloom's handlers were delinquent----sending him in unprepared.

But I'm betting the arrogant know-it-all Mike shot down any suggestion that he sit it out.

After all, he was so full of gray matter, what could possibly go wrong?

Doomberg has billions to spend. He’s not going anywhere.

Wow, I don’t know how many ways I can disagree with this...

Those betting on the results tend to be impassioned and informed about their choices; it’s great for overall trends, but even a crash downward means little (especially since so many votes have already been cast in those Super Tuesday primaries; California’s been voting for weeks via absentee ballots.)

The conclusions drawn are premature. Warren, Buttigieg and Klobuchar need SUCH a huge cash infusion to move forward against Biden & Bloomberg’s warchest and Bernie’s repeated supporters. Bloomberg’s going to have an okay SuperTuesday; much will be made about how he fizzled, but unlike the top three listed, he has the money to keep going. Bernie will go until he falls over and dies, or the convention takes place. Biden’s on life support, but that can be lived with if he’s in the top three come Super Tuesday.

Anyone who counts Bloomberg out at this point is delusional.

I didn’t say he was “going anywhere.” I’m just telling you that he’s wasting his money at this point.

IMO, Bloomie will buy his was into a Brokered Convention. With $60B he can grease a lot of palms.

Don't discount age. That's a big factor in Trump's presentation and demeanor as the well. Same goes for Warren and Biden. We have got some pretty decrepit old people competing to lead the country.

it's no wonder that none of them have the slightest concern with perpetual trillion dollar deficits and the inevitability of a financial crisis. None of them will be around to see it.

Nonsense. When you have $50 billion, Waterloo is when “you” pull the plug.

Bloomberg is burnt toast!!! Nevada voters...take a good hard look at the last week activities of POTUS, Donald J. Trump, starting with his visit to The NASCAR Daytona 500 Race an d then the three major campaign rallies in Phoenix, Colorado Spring & Las Vegas. in the last five to ten days POTUS, Trump rallies have been attended by more the 1,000,000 Americans Trump supporters. The “overflow Crows” in Las Vegas was bigger then the crowd that filled the Arena inside!!!

You Democrat fools are trekking to your Caucus polling places and casting your votes for the Democrat Party buffoons your party has offered up to you!!! You would be better off and better served if you all wrote-in, Donald J. Trump as your choice for POTUS in 2020!!! The handwriting is on the wall...but.....you good folks are far from the sharpest knives in the drawer!!! SAD!!!

But the betting odds are a different animal entirely. These odds aren’t calculated just from average people telling their opinions to some stranger on the telephone; to the contrary, these are calculated from people putting their money where their mouths are. Few, if any bettors are going to slap down a hundred bucks on some candidate they believe to be a looooser just to distort the results tabulated by RealClearPolitics.

How big is the betting pool and how much would the odds change if someone were to toss in $100 million to bet on himself? Could Mini-Mike suddenly become popular by spending a fraction of his ad budget this way?

Like Bloomberg, you overestimate the power of paid advertising to influence voters. At some point, you reach the saturation point and start to cause consumer annoyance, and Mini-Mike is already very close to getting there.

The peril of participating in these nationally-televised debates is that it gives Democrat voters the chance to see that the product being advertised does not match the tiny, arrogant man in real life.

He should have declined to participate. Now it’s too late.

Saturation point?

Ask Mike Lindell about that.

Bloomberg may need to change his admen and get a new batch of tv spots, but saturation point is a myth.

You never get another chance to make a first impression.

20 million debate watchers saw what a creepy little inadequate @asshole Bloomberg is.

All the money in the world can’t change that.

Then throw in those stupid revolving
ads mini mike put up in Nevada... Trump likes burnt steak, Trump cheats at golf.... WTH?!

He’s just lighting a match to money.

I did not watch the debate but based on the clips I heard on conservative talk radio Warren was the big loser. Warren, who finally admitted she is white, sounded like a insufferable witch. The rest of the Dem clown car sounded like a bunch of petty fools.

Bloomberg may be arrogant but at least he has some real world accomplishments and was not 100% PC and patronizing. Most importantly with billions of dollars to spend in advertising it is in the MSM's best interest to carry Bloomberg for a few more months.

I’ve seen a couple of his ads on TV here in eastern TN, and they’re pretty spiffy. When he’s scripted, he seems tolerable, but when he opens his mouth, ad lib, he’s a train wreck.

“With $60B he can grease a lot of palms.”

And purchasing a fourth house for Bernie in order to buy him off is chump change to Mini Mike.
