Uh Oh: Bloomberg Starting To Collapse In Polling?
Hot Air ^ | February 26, 2020 | Allahpundit

Posted on 02/26/2020 8:52:16 AM PST by C19fan

The great fear for establishment Democrats right now is that he’s *not* starting to collapse, merely beginning to fade. Dem leaders can tolerate Mike Bloomberg beating Bernie for the nomination; they can also tolerate Mike Bloomberg quickly imploding, clearing a path for Biden to win on Saturday and emerge as the great centrist hope against Sanders next week on Super Tuesday.

What they can’t tolerate is a zombie Bloomberg candidacy, one where Bloomy pulls enough votes away from Biden to hold Joe down but not enough to threaten Sanders himself. More than anything else, they need to resolve the so-called “muddle in the middle” immediately. And since Bloomberg’s debate performance last night was neither great nor terrible, it’s unlikely they’ll get that.

Here's what I'm hoping happens

I think Bush was going to lose anyway, but this kept us in knots for years. Think of what it's do to the Dems.

The impeachments purpose was to take out Biden, and give the nomination to the far left of the party... so they lose big and can be knee capped so the party can moderate for 2024.

Yes, the powers that be would have preferred a warren as their left wing over Bernie, as she would harm the down ballot races less... but Democrats are throwing 2020... they can’t win it, and know it... so their goal is to knee cap the far left so they can moderate in 2024....

Rope a Dope folks... nothing more...thats what impeachment was about, as was Pelosi’s staged temper tantrum...

Even when his answers were mostly coherent, you can see in his face and eyes the difference from 8 years ago or even 4.

The look on others’ faces in early or more than early dementia that i’ve seen.

It’s obvious very early because at that point people are repeating the same thing four times in 10 minutes.

But it’s there. And for him to say he’ll drop out if he gets bad enough...my mother DOESNT KNOW she’s gotten so bad!!!

How can she?? She can’t remember she’s forgetting things!!

So many of these dems are just scary.

Maybe dementia would be a good thing for them!

Almost 80% of democrats polled agree with socialism. That is significant. Don’t right Sanders off as he has no chance at all. Though even if he won. The DNC leadership which are made up of corporatist will have to wake up to the reality they’ve done to our schools.

They are definitely going to feel the Bern on March 3.
VA, CO and MA are the only States The Communist won’t take.
CA is going to shock the media and some of Hollywood.

You may be right. At minimum, he is going to be far more expensive to buy off than in 2016 no matter what happens between now and the convention.

More likely somewhere further south. Martha’s Vineyard has almost the same seasonal restrictions as Lake Champlain.

well it actually took a family member getting stuck at an airport, because she couldn’t find her way, before anyone realized there was a real problem. She had developed coping techniques to hide what ‘she knew’ were laps in memory and confusion.

Remember political parties are private organizations run by their executive committees. I could come down to the DNC “discovering” that Bernie is not a member of the rat party, therefore he can’t represent them. Yes there would be an explosion & yes it would be catastrophic come 2020 however they might as well purge the party of the loons now rather then later when they might stronger.

And the great thing about that it will almost guarantee a Trump win for WI.
Midwest voters don’t like riots and burning cars.
The Bern has a big following in Minneapolis so right now, MN is the next firewall for Trump to breach.

Warren and Bernie are progressive BFF’s,, which was obvious last night. But how many delegates can Warren garner before she drops out? How does that help Bernie get to 1,991? There will be tremendous pressure to have a minority on the ticket preferably a woman if a white male is at the top of the ticket. Bernie, Biden, or Bloomberg, the killer B’s, will more than likely be at the top of the ticket.

Seriously, did anyone notice that Joe can't formulate a complete sentence or enunciate a clear thought?

We notice because we watch the train wrecks, known as the DNC debates....most DNC voters do not watch them and just go with the wind.

I saw the first 20 minutes of last night but that was all I could take.

Biden is senile, angry, and talks too fast.

Did anybody catch him stop talking mid-sentence, then say:

“Why did I stop talking. Nobody else ever stops talking?”

Jill: C’mon man, take him home and make him some soup.

Biden whined allot throughout the debate. I think because SC was suppose to be his fire wall he at least expected the other candidates to go after him.....but he was hardly given the floor to speak....and when he had it he just whined further for the most part...
