    It's ironic and funny how often you resort to the very epithet that describes your own derangement with our mistake-in-chief.

    Edit: almost forgot obligatory pic...

    Mike Bloomberg sounds like he will be getting in if Joe Biden gets out. I do not know how much support he will get among Democrat voters, but he would certainly be a more formidable candidate in a general election than Joe Biden would.

    Mike Bloomberg Hints At 2020 Run As Biden Faces Ukraine, China Corruption Investigations

    Mike Bloomberg might end up running for president, after all.

    Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York, has indicated to associates in recent weeks that Joe Biden’s recent struggles against Sen. Elizabeth Warren are making him rethink his decision to stay out of the 2020 Democratic primary. That’s according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations were deemed private.

    Bloomberg has signaled he’s “still looking at” running for president, but people close him say that the only way he could even go down that path is if Biden’s fortunes suffer so much that he drops out before or during the early stages of the primary. Bloomberg could then enter the race as one of the rare moderates with enough name recognition and campaign funding to make a run. Forbes estimates his net worth at $51 billion, and he was planning to spend over $100 million on a campaign for president if he ran.

    “I think it’s something he wants. He has not been shy about that,” one of Bloomberg’s allies familiar with the talks told CNBC. “Nothing can happen unless Biden drops out, and that’s not happening anytime soon,” this person added. “He’s like everyone else. They can’t get it out of their system,” said a banking executive who has known Bloomberg for decades. “Bloomberg is in if Biden is out,” said another New York billionaire with ties to Bloomberg.

    Joe Biden does not look like a winner in the primaries this time around, at least not to me. But if he decides to get out, will he get out early enough for it to make sense for Michael Bloomberg to get into the race?

    And will Democrat primary voters vote for him?

    I’ll vote for Warren, Bernie, Beto, Pete, Harris, Booker and even Bloomberg come Election Day. I support Warren and I believe she can beat Trump. I believe they all can.

    We need to restore our national and international sanity and prestige. We need to improve access to health care and make our economy and workforce ready for the 2020s.

    Most of "The Squad" is endorsing Bernie Sanders, including AOC, Omar and Tlaib. If Bernie is seriously interested in becoming President, he will not welcome these endorsements.

    Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib to endorse Bernie Sanders


    Three members of the so-called “Squad” of far-left freshman members of Congress are lining up behind Sen. Bernie Sanders for president. Fox News has learned that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will appear with Sanders on Saturday in Queens, N.Y., at a “Bernie’s Back” rally designed to generate excitement for the senator’s campaign following his recent heart procedure. Rep. Ihan Omar, D-Minn., will also endorse the candidate, Fox News confirmed. In addition, CNN reported that Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., will endorse Sanders as well. It was not immediately clear if Omar and Tlaib will appear at Saturday's event.​

    C'mon, he's not going to trick anyone into thinking he's not a socialist. He keeps telling everybody he is. He's basically the Squad's grandpa, so their endorsement isn't going to hurt. If it did, he never had a shot anyway. It'd hurt more if the Squad endorsed somebody else.

    If and when Sanders drops out of the race, perhaps they will all throw their support to Pocahontas.

    I would hope and expect that Representatives who are card-carrying members of the Democratic Party would endorse the candidate the party selects as its presidential candidate, at least if there is no very compelling reason to think that person was unfit.

    Bernie Sanders rally in New York was apparently attended by some 26,000 people. This is the largest non-Trump rally this cycle and bigger than any held by Elizabeth Warren, who had the previous largest rally (other than those by Donald Trump) of any other presidential candidate this cycle.

    Sanders New York rally marks largest of primary campaign

    Bernie Sanders's campaign rally in New York City brought in nearly 26,000 attendants, making it the largest audience of the entire Democratic primary thus far.

    At the "Bernie is Back" event in Queens, the Vermont senator sought to fight back against concerns that his White House run is in jeopardy following his heart attack earlier this month. The rally featured a number of high-profile speakers who offered their endorsements, including liberal filmmaker Michael Moore and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    According to a security firm that worked at the event, 25,872 supporters showed up for the rally, making it larger than Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Washington Square Park rally in September that had an estimated 20,000-22,000 people. At Sen. Kamala Harris's announcement in Oakland, California, an estimated 10,000 people attended, with another estimated 12,000 in overflow.​

    Looks like the campaign of Bernie Sanders is alive and well.

    Yea, it takes a unique kind of special to avoid the impeachment threads and act like they don't exist. It's like you're in your own bubble, bumping your self created threads to avoid the reality of the Trump presidency...but carry on.

    Let me know when they either start conducting these politically motivated Kangaroo court hearings in public, or when the House musters the courage to actually have a vote on that. I won't be holding my breath. What a complete disgrace that whole exercise has devolved into.

    This not speaking on the actual cost for her healthcare plan or about raising taxes is hurting Warren in my eyes.

    I guess she really does not have a plan for everything.

    She needs to own that ****.
