Good points. The 20 million is supposedly a record. The previous debate had somewhere around 8 million viewers.
LOL. Lindell’s ad budget might amount to $30 million in a year. Bloomberg spent a quarter of a BILLION in JANUARY.
Try again.
I’m headed there in 10 days. Can’t wait.
It was 31 million across the three networks: NBC, MSNBC and Univision.
Yes while Bloomberg became a butt wipe 100% in the Dem Debate Trump scored a massive successful rally in Las Vegas inside and outside and tens of thousands of devoted Trumpies turned out to support their beloved POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! And....coming up folks another two great Campaign rallies in, North Charleston, South Carolina & Charlotte, North Carolina!!!
The South Carolina rally will be held on Friday, February 28, 2020 (Limit 14,000 people) & the Charlotte, NC rally will be held on March 2, 2020 (Limit, 10,000 people)

(HAT TIP AMERICAN THINKER)
A YouTube video of Bloomberg speaking at Oxford Dec 2016 reveals much about Bloomberg’s beliefs and thinking:
<><> He is dismissive of the working class,
<><> he sees the average guy as an ignoramus,
<><> the working class are unintelligent, unable to find useful work in the technological age.
Bloomberg considers himself the crown prince....a member of an intellectual elite.
Those working class types he deplores are paying close attention.
They quickly grasp his real opinion of them and they are unlikely to vote for someone
who sees them as pathetic serfs in need of the noble guidance and patronage from know-it-all Bloomberg.
Will you please explain why would Biden do this? Campaigning is a lot of work. He's old, and he's already wealthy enough to simply retire.
This doesn’t make sense - what’s the end game? Please don’t say, “Hillary will swoop in and save the day!”
Post/thread BUMP!
Bourgeois socialist/totalitarian. Is there room in the Clown Car for little mikey or is he a hood ornament? The way he was beat up in the last debate (and since) they might have to rent the Hillary hearse in the future.
I was staying at Bally’s right next to Paris in Vegas when the clowns and fawning press were arriving. My sis was sure she saw the Bern getting out of one of the bp limos. There were flyers in our room to be prepared for unannounced inspections of our rooms, our luggage, our cars. SS agents were everywhere. We checked out before the actual event.
His wife and handlers talked him into running. She wants to be FLOTUS.

Sure, but how does that make him a "placeholder" who has agreed to lose?
It could also be his Pearl Harbor and he will rally resources and come back from this. I wouldn’t write him off too quickly because Sanders is not a candidate with wide appeal among democrats. It is still up for grabs.
I doubt he was planning on being a placeholder when he began the campaign. He has to know he is one by now...
On a side note, Bloomberg’s massive ego had to have taken a hit....
which is just delightful.
He has morons working for him.
Rush talked about this the other day. He said Bloomberg was likely surrounded by yes men...

Have you not been paying attention?
Early on before he entered the race he was acting like he was not interested. He of all people knows the truth about his son and Ukraine. Getting into the race exposes him and his family to legal troubles (as we have seen).
But his arm was twisted and he entered the race. He is barely able to run two sentences together. There is the whole touchy feeling thing with young girls. He appears to be confused at times. In other words he is showing his age.
It was only the media and fake poll that kept him at number 1. That bit of smoke and mirror failed after the first caucus (and the chaos was caused when the DNC tried to rig the results).
So Biden is no longer useful to the DNC and he will be tossed under the bus.
That is why I say he was just a place holder.
His role was to keep anyone else from gaining traction. Now that he is out the DNC had to find someone else, in comes Bloomberg (no better campaigner then Biden was).
Yes, I have. I asked an honest question. There's no reason to be rude, FRiend.
I think Biden's running because he thinks he can win. I don't believe he's in on some secret grand plan for him to run and drop out. Why would he do that? (My original question.)
The DNC needs money desperately. Biden wasn't the answer to that. Bernie, being a communist, won't share. So Mini-Mike is the answer. I don't think he can buy the Presidency, but I'm pretty sure he can buy the DNC. The Clintons bankrolled them last time.
“Anyone who counts Bloomberg out at this point is delusional.”
you don’t have to be delusional to see that the numbers are not favorable to mini-mike at this time:
Assuming a contested convention takes place (best case scenario for mini-mike), on second and subsequent ballots at the 2020 Dem convention, it takes a minimum of 2,376 delegate votes to win a majority. There are only 775 unpledged (super) delegates, so even if mini-mike secures all 775 super-delegate votes (very unlikely), he still needs to win a minimum of 1,601 pledged delegates during the primaries/caucuses elections, meaning that mini-mike would need to win at least 41% of the total 3,979 pledged delegates available to be won during the primary/caucus elections ...
making that feat even more difficult, a candidate wins zero pledged delegates during any given state primary/caucus if they don’t win at least 15% of the total votes cast by the electorate in that state, and the current polls are showing mini-mike is barely meeting that threshold in most states, and these are polls taken BEFORE mini-mike’s disastrous debate performance, though the betting sites odds dropped precipitously overnight, an indication that upcoming polls probably won’t be good for bloomberg.
personally, at this point, i think mini-mike’s chances of being the Dem nominee are close to zero ...

I think Biden’s running because he thinks he can win.
My bet there will be a brokered convention and none of the names currently in the race will win.
So...Where do people’s votes go?
Biden voters: Yeah, they’re going to flock to Sanders..., majority to Bloomberg
Buttigieg voters: Probably even Sanders/Bloomberg split
Warren voters: Majority will go to Bloomberg
Klobucher: Majority going to Bloomberg
I wouldn’t count Bloomberg out right now. He’s bought too many of those who will be counting and casting the ballots at the convention.
