So Bloomberg qualified for the debate Weds and he's got devastating lines ready like "Biden read speeches" and "Pete was a Mayor". All the other candidates are salivating at getting him on stage so they can tear into him. This should be the most interesting debate in awhile.

...that sounds exactly like Trump in 2016.

wow this guy really is like Trump. It's his company and not him, but still.

Bloomberg isn't a real candidate so I don't really want to say anything about that loser, so...

That debate showed how all the real candidates except the high road dumbfuck mayor guy are equipped to take Trump down. Mayor dumbfuck on the other hand would refuse to get dirty and play in the mud while Trump ran him over.

 

[Brocklock]

Bloomberg had about as bad as a performance as you can get from a likability stand point, but Mayor Pete only came off as only very slightly more likable. He's so damn smug. Warren came out the winner of the debate imo and I'd like for this to lead to some momentum, but it's probably too little too late. She would absolutely crush Trump in a debate though. Bernie had a good showing as well and Biden is getting too much praise from the cable news outlets but had one of his better debate performances. The other three candidates don't have a chance against Trump and need to leave the race ASAP.

 

[909]

Oh yeah, I also can't handle how Klobuchar gets so mad that she literally shakes violently with rage. This is a trait totally unbecoming of someone running for higher office, which isn't to say that the fat lard in office isn't entirely unbecoming himself, but you know. It doesn't bode well for anyone's capacity to make decisions when they get that angry.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Pete got her shook in that exchange

 

[Brocklock]

She looked like she was gonna legit start crying during that. If bland Mayo Pete can get to her like that, there's no way she could handle Trump's barbs.

This upside down version of the Never Trump Movement rocks!

Looks like BernDawg is going to win Nevada in dominating fashion.

Establishment Dems were asking how he'd do in more diverse states and I think we got an answer.

He won or tied in all but one of the culinary union caucuses too.

 

[909]

Lmao he massively outperformed the polls. It's over and nobody else is a legitimate option at this point.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I bet he's going to at least be a surprisingly strong 2nd in South Carolina.

It's going to be funny to see MSNBC and CNN try and spin whoever got in 2nd or 3rd today as having a surprisingly strong upset performance.

 

[Gary]

Bloomberg tanking puts a huge smile on my face.

 

[909]

Biden called the media out to the podium a long time ago and has been making people wait for around 90 minutes.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Biden falsely claimed the other day that he was arrested in South Africa during apartheid lmao.

Bloomberg isn't on the ballot in Nevada so we'll have to wait until after Super Tuesday to celebrate his tanking but I'm feeling more assured of that after the last debate.

Bernie's the first candidate of either party to win IA, NH, and NV. Surprisingly, he won college educated white women voters and voters over the age of 45 tonight. BUT HE IS SO DIVISIVE AND CONTROVERSIAL!

 

[909]

Bloomberg hasn't even gotten one write-in yet.

 

[Gary]

MSNBC is having a normal one

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Bloomberg hasn't even gotten one write-in yet.

What is kind of his proxy in Nevada, Tom Steyer got 9% of the vote. I'm guessing Bloomer will get about that in most states on Super Tuesday, probably a little bit higher.

Bernie won 50% of the Latinx vote yesterday. Clearly all Russian bots and/or actually racist liberal white dudes.

Fire Chris Matthews is still trending right now. No idea why they keep him around as Hardball's ratings have been bad for a while.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I watched some of Hardball for the first time in a longtime while I was on vacation. Chris Matthews was constantly interrupting the panelists to go off on tangentially related riffs on George McGovern's campaign. It may as well have been Real Time With Bill Maher.

Amount of irrelevant people they're dusting off to take on Bernie is hilarious. James Carville's brand of Diet Reganomics hasn't been relevant since 1994. Why is anyone letting him run his bald ass Cajun trap?

Something people tend to forget is that MSNBC used to be pretty conservative-they fired Phil Donahue for speaking out against the Iraq war, and gave shows to Alan Keyes and even Michael Savage (who was fired for saying a caller was a "sodomite"). It wasn't until Bushes 2nd term that they grew more liberal, what with the rise of Olberman and Maddow. However, this was when the public was growing increasingly tired of the Bush years and the Iraq war had become extremely unpopular, so this wasn't exactly an act of bravery as much as it was latching on to popular opinion. Later, there brand of liberalism became either obnoxious (remember "lean forward"?) or extremely pro establishment (Cenk Uygur being fired for criticizing Obama and Al Sharpton cheering for Obama bombing other countries), so outside of Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes (who don't seem to hold any animus towards Sanders, and both probably being the only ones who can generate a younger audience), the channel is now just Fox News for establishment loving Democrats and centrists. Last night was the just the biggest example of who they are.

Michael Bloomberg used prisoners to make campaign calls for him.

The good ol' boys club for the conservatives stayed in power from Nixon until Bush the 2nd. With all the Clinton's scheming and deals, I am sure Carville has connections that make him relevant yet. Was he on another channel in the last few years? I used to enjoy George Will's sophisticated conservative takes on ABC's This Week, but then he signed on with Fox and vanished since he was too sane.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Carville's been rambling and yammering on MSNBC the past few weeks about being a Never Berner and how he isn't gonna let the Democratic Party being taken over by socialists.

It's amazing how heavy CNN and MSNBC weigh towards Never Trumpers Republicans and centrists when they're a rapidly dwindling part of voting base.

This is a good article that breaks it down. Fox News is trash but at least, they're somewhat representative of their audience. Are there any actual far left people in the mainstream media?

GAME CHANGER!

 

[bigolsmitty]

dat boi gonna do it.

I am voting for Bernie on Super Tuesday. Gently urging my wife, who loves Warren, that way as well (she's having a hard time letting go...).

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I like Warren too. Actually supported her up until a few months ago and just sent her money but if she can't get any traction on Super Tuesday (or even win Massachusetts) than she should probably call it a day.

All of the centrists calling her to drop out---do they realize that the vast majority of her supporters will go to Bernie? I'm sure a few hardcore YAS KWEEEN types would go to Klobuchar (if she doesn't drop out before then) but I don't really see them going to Biden or Mayor Pete.

Good to see what KOAB has been up to in the last few weeks.

Also how can people look at something like this and tell me Liz stans can't be as overbearing as Bernie stans.
