As the campaign of Quid Pro Joe Biden collapses under the weight of its own rank dishonesty and a candidate who is clearly impaired, the high muckety-mucks of the Democrat Party and its big money donors are now going all-in on Mini-Mike Bloomberg. They all know that the nomination this July in Milwaukee of The Commie, Bernie Sanders, would spell certain doom for their party in November, as The Commie would not only lose the presidential contest to President Donald Trump, but also ensure massive losses in both houses of congress.
This dynamic is, in part, why you saw Bloomberg launch his “I’m thinking of picking the Pantsuit Princess as my running mate” trial balloon over the weekend. Mr. Excitement and the party leaders want to gauge Democrat voter reaction, hoping against hope that a Bloomberg/Coughing Crook ticket might mollify The Commie’s gang of leftist lunatic supporters and possibly unify the party for the general election.
Hah. Fat chance.
See, these people know they have a gigantic problem on their hands: As things stand today, it is almost inevitable that their convention will produce a nominee who will divide the party’s voter base. The collapse of Biden, the fast fade of Fauxcahontas and the simple non-viability of Preacher Pete for a variety of reasons means that their nominating contest has now boiled down to a contest between a lifelong communist who doesn’t even call himself a Democrat and a former Republican, a billionaire who only bothered to register as a Democrat a few years ago.
It is a contest between a Commie who is raising tens of millions of campaign dollars mainly from small contributions by tens of thousands of leftists nutjobs and an outright oligarch who is attempting to perform a very public leveraged buyout of the entire Democrat Party. Folks, this is not just a contest between liberals and moderates, as your corrupt news media attempts to portray it, it is a contest between two diametrically-opposed world views, all taking place under a single political party’s tent.
How do you unify that? You don’t.
Before we go any further, take a look at this set of projections produced by Nate Silver and 538.com:
Political Polls @PpollingNumbers .@FiveThirtyEight Forecast on early and super Tuesday states ____ has the best chance of winning:
Sanders: Nevada SC California Texas NC Virginia Massachusetts Minnesota Colorado Tennessee Oklahoma Arkansas Utah Maine Vermont
Klobuchar/Sanders: Minnesota
Biden: Alabama
4,641 8:19 PM - Feb 15, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 1,102 people are talking about this Whose name is conspicuously missing from those results? That’s right: No Mini-Mike. The oligarch who has already dumped over $300 million of his own personal fortune into this race is not, according to 538.com, currently the favorite to win a single state on Super Tuesday, the date on which he has supposedly staked his entire effort. Not one. Damn. State.
Making matters even more perilous for those hoping to prevent a full Commie takeover of a Party in which he is not even a member, Mini-Mike is having a hard time getting his polling numbers up to the 15% threshold in those Super Tuesday states that would allow him to start actually being awarded some delegates. He’s getting close in Texas, where his ads have been ubiquitous for three months now, but is mired in the low single digits in California polls taken thus far.
Meanwhile, The Commie continues to surge in the polls, now having moved past Biden even in one South Carolina poll, ending thoughts of Quid Pro Joe’s unassailable firewall in that state.
The reality is that The Commie has all the momentum in this race and that TV and social media advertising can only take you so far, regardless of how many millions you pour into it. At some point, constant TV ads become so annoying that people tune them out and, if the ads continue, become openly hostile to them.
Once Super Tuesday has come and gone, 40% of the delegates in this race will have been awarded, and The Commie will have more of them than anyone else. Biden will end his disastrous campaign, as will Lieawatha. Klobuchar will hang on for awhile longer, but will ultimately run out of money and have to quit the race, probably before the end of March. Buttigieg will take his boutique vanity campaign all the way to the convention, as he will be the only other candidate who will be able to continue to raise enough money to mount a semi-credible effort.
Thus, the nominating contest for the “party of diversity” will boil down to a battle of attrition between three pasty-faced white guys – because of course it will – two of whom aren’t really even Democrats, the third of whom has never held any office higher than mayor of a mid-size college town in Indiana.
The big problem there for the Party is that all three men have very limited ceilings governing their appeal to voters, and the proportional awarding of delegates in these primaries will ensure than none of them will be able to go into the convention having won the majority of delegates needed to prevail on the first ballot. As things stand today, that almost certainly means that Sanders, who will enter the convention having won the most delegates, will see the nomination taken from him on a second ballot in which all the Party’s “Super Delegates” will be able to vote.
And if you think the violence-prone Sanders support base is going to quietly accept that outcome and unify around an oligarch and his Grasping Grifter running mate, boy, do you have another think coming. Milwaukee will become riot central in such a scenario and the Democrat Party will become unalterably divided.
Sanders himself will most likely just end up being bought off again like he was in 2016 – although the price will be higher this time – so no one should count on a third-party effort with him in the lead. But 40% of the Party’s current voter base will be forever disillusioned, and a good portion of them will become permanently disaffected after seeing the nomination once again stolen from their hero.
For Democrat Party leaders and funders, the only currently-viable scenario even worse than that would be for The Commie to get real momentum at his back and win the nomination outright. That would not only result in massive landslide losses in November, but the end of the Party as they have known it. The Democrat Party would, in that scenario. become America’s version of the British Labor Party, a loud collection of preening radical nincompoops who seldom manage to obtain any lever of actual power.
This is where the Democrats are as of today. If you can see any way out for them, let me know.
That is all.
Sanders will be the nominee.
The corrupt dnc and mini mike can’t stop him.
Sanders is still slated ahead in California, and he might be able to win three-quarters of the Super-Tuesday match-up. If that occurs, I don’t see Bloomberg changing much unless we get to the convention and Sanders has not won enough to carry the first ballot.
They need blowme’s money to try and hold the house.
I really wonder if the people who grew up in the 50s can support Sanders.
I just dont understand why these dumb millenials support him. I certainly can’t understand Wall Street Libs who would support him.
And the midwest...surely not.
The Commie will have enough votes to get the nomination - Rats can’t stop him.
The corrupt dnc and mini mike can’t stop him.
I wouldn’t bet the farm on that. If it was normal times maybe but the rats view a Trump re-election as a catastrophic apocalypse and they think Bernie cannot win. So desperate people do desperate things.
Sanders/Buttigieg - two Marxists
But the media will portray Buttigieg as “moderate”
Hoping and WINNING! TRUMP 2020
The Democrats lost on the day Donald Trump declared himself a candidate for the Presidency. And the American People won.
IOW, Bernie is running a third party campaign within the RAT party.
Bloomberg will be our most difficult candidate to beat. The only good news is hopefully Bernie people sit out.
No way Sanders basically sweeps Super Tuesday. There will be a lot of late deciders and most of them will break away from him.
The truth is Democrats hate Americans.
I think the demonrats will deny burnster the nomination...what else happens is unpredictable....
voter fraud will be a tsunami in order for them to hold the house. This is their only hope so they can continue to badger Trump
Is Bloomberg a registered Democrat now? He was a Republican when he was mayor of New York.
I don't get it...two candidates for the Democrat nomination for President aren't members of the damn party.
IOW, Bernie is running a third party campaign within the RAT party.
That’s a very astute observation. Yes, he is.
A President Sanders is a possibility we ignore at our peril.
