Meh, you're just clearly deranged. I'm going to complain to a judge so they can take away your privilege to vote without you having a chance to defend yourself.

The Delegate from American Samoa casts his vote for Michael Bloomberg....

Reports that he spent a billion in advertising and $50 million elsewhere in his (so called) campaign make me hope his ego doesn't allow him to quit and he continues to bleed himself dry.

He is going to have to do a lot of bleeding he has a estimated net worth of 55 billion.

Give the man a break people - he is rich and more important than the rest of us.
One might think that a businessperson... (businessperson because I would never be so bold or disrespectful as to simply assume his gender identity without having a discussionfirst) ...like Bloomberg would be well aware of the 'sunken cost fallacy'
...and maybe stop throwing millions and millions of dollars at a frivolous attempt to buy his way into the White House.

Maybe all that campaign money could have been used to feed some battered women that are on the run from their abusive husbands.
Maybe some of that ego money could have been spent funding a sports program for a failing inner city school.
Maybe it could have been used to help Bernie Sanders teach kids how to sell drugs...

You know, things that matter

But no - he thinks he is in the middle of a bidding war for the oval office.
...now that I think of it, thats exactly whats going on -

never mind

Box triggered something in my brain..

If all the folks running for the POTUS position are bad mouthing the Trump admin for not doing enough to curtail/deal with the corona virus issue, why with all their millions don't they set aside money for "the cause"?? (Box post, peeps with $$$)

Biden sez he will cure cancer, 40yrs in Washington, and he can't do it until he's pres??

Anyway, you know what I mean...

[Box]

The money aint in the "cure" my friend.
The real money is made in the 'treatment'

Politicians and elitists only treat problems they don't cure them.

Just be careful that you don't let anyone on the left "treat" you - the results are almost always catastrophic

Haa, I hope it's not permanent...

[Box]

Of course it isnt permanent - permenant would be a cure - I'm not in THAT business.

You will most certainly need periodic (and expensive) booster treatments from now until judgement day.

Asking the smarter guys in the bunch...with the suspension of his campaign by Bloomberg, and Warren pretty much just disappearing, the "fight" will most likely drop to Sanders and Biden; I suspect the majority of the left will make a concerted effort to get behind Biden so as to not completely lose the party and the election. My question is, with the rabid sense of anyone but Trump that's becoming prevalent, does anyone think Biden can beat him?

I'm starting to get the same feeling about Trump that others had about Hillery two years ago...people are underestimating how polarizing he has become.

I think you have cause & effect reversed. Trump is not the cause of the polarization, he simply recognized what was already there and tapped into it. I'm talking about the rise of Populism. Populism is simply a revolt against the oppression from the Administrative state. Same thing that has given rise to Brexit. Trump represents the conservative side of Populism. Bernie represents the socialist side of the same movement. The "Establishment" of both parties fought back. "The difference is that "Trump won the fight in his party.

Trump is still fighting the permanent Administrative State (i.e Establishment) in the "Gubmint". We just don't know the outcome of that battle yet.

Frankly I would like to see a Trump v Bernie contest. That would settle a lot IMHO. But, that doesn't seem likely at this point. However, I wouldn't count the "Bernie Bro's" out just yet. The Dem's convention this Summer is going to provide some high drama.

YMMV
