now i feel dirty

anyway, i had to know. and perhaps the upside is that when the general election comes the nominee will have been vaccinated.

Overall, the Democratic debaters sounded incoherent except when discussing SOCIALISTS POLICIES that in reality, only benefit other ELITIST like themselves!

The Bloomberg voters have been seeing in the never ending onslaught of commercials WAS NOT the Bloomberg the Democratic audience saw at the debate Wednesday night. They saw someone who was woefully unprepared and out of touch!

Democratic strategists: Paul Begala “This was a gift to Bernie Sanders, a rough night for Bloomberg. Elizabeth Warren gutted him like a flounder on Long Island Sound.”

Why did the debaters waste so much time and effort attacking someone who wasn’t on the ballot in Nevada......or South Carolina?

Why couldn’t the Democratic debaters do something (anything) to keep Bernie Sanders from winning Nevada??

You’re a —SOCIALIST
You’re a —COMMUNISTS

That’s the best the debaters could do? What kind of strategy is this??

Why didn’t anyone attack the unsustainable policies of Bernie Sanders? “Medicare For All” along with the rest of Bernie’s delusional proposals......that would consume more than 120% of the gross national product of our nation. No challenge about how this would ever be paid for without bankrupting our nation......yet the debaters allowed Bernie to escape unscathed?

This Wasn’t A Joke

Bloomberg will spend more money between now and SuperTuesday than the rest of the debaters combined between now and the Democratic Convention in July.

Here's those "3 mansions" he's talking about

[choc e-Claire]

Sanders wins Nevada, and it's looking like a landslide.

bernie has most of her voters? i mean they share the same issues.

she’s scoring consistently a 12% everywhere

now here’s the revelation: it looks like in nevada, with its greater minority component, progressives are grabbing a larger portion of the electorate

in nh+iowa, which is mostly white voters, moderates were beating progressives by a small margin. the numbers are in the previous page.

in nevada bernie blew up not by taking warren votes—but by reducing the moderate vote and expanding progressives overall.

which is frankly impressive.

[Derek]

He is appealing to sections of the democratic base who have felt taken for granted by the party. He's also tried to bring new voters into the fold and try to bring people who had fallen out of favour with the political system a reason to come back in.

He took a gamble looking for pockets of voters who are ignored and clearly it's going to pay off. It's evident considering this is the result once we moved on from the first two white states. Hyped!!

[!@#$%!]

^^apparently enough disenfranchised voters to overcome the union’s objections, yeah.

as for the horse race:

steyer is beginning to register a pulse. he’s all about global warming, but not sure where to add his total (moderate or progressive?). i have very bland memories of the guy. did not expect him to still be here.

klobuchar tanking, and her campaign apparently just arrived to south carolina, which does not bode well for her. she might be out soon.

also very curious to find out what happens to bernie in sc where biden claims to have a firewall. not sure it’s a real wall. we’ll see after this...

[Derek]

Biden has been in South Carolina saying lies about how he was involved in the civil rights movement and was arrested in South Africa during apartheid. It will catch up to him. After all, it was his downfall in '88.

[!@#$%!]

uncle joe might end up losing but i really don’t want to fling shit onto other democrats

[Derek]

But it's not right that he's taking credit for racial justice movements that he had nothing to do with. He should be called out on it. It's something black voters should be aware of.

[!@#$%!]

since the boy scout is trailing on his tail and wants the moderate vote i’m sure he’ll have no qualms doing the deed the same way he destroyed amy

[Derek]

It wouldn't work coming from Pete considering black people couldn't give two shits about him

[Bytor Peltor]

Why would Joe Biden say his dead son was the Attorney General of the United States?

Just a friendly reminder that Buttigieg split Iowa with Bernie and Bernie edged him out in New Hampshire.

These are the only two Democratic candidates to “win” anything......that’s it!!!

Elizabeth Warren hasn’t been a factor!

we’ll see how it plays out. i’ll support whoever is the nominee. if they want to cut each other up, it’s up to them.

and sanders seems to be closing on biden in the south carolina polls. a lot is going to be riding on next week’s debates.

eta: looking at nevada entrance polls, bernie took 51% of the latino vote without having to pander to cultural stereotypes lololol. support by age group drops steadily with oder voters: 65% for 17-29, 50% 30-44, 27% 45-64.... 11% with 65+ (lol boomers)
