I wish the MA primary was next, if Warren takes an arrow to the knee in her own backyard it'd be over. Biden seems to have forgotten there's a primary before SC too lmfao

this guy lol doesn't even bother with primaries - voting is for regular people and when you can't win the regular people at first, win over the vote counters!
he's hoping for a brokered convention and probably will buy off Hillary.

im still confused what his options are. like can he get into polls now to enter later debates and get in primaries? is he depending on write in votes in some states? i figure a guy as smart as him only entered late for a specific reason, he's not an impulse guy and his campaign seems super professional. i just dont see the advantage he sees in entering late from the outside. bit confusing.

well with the DNC acquiescing Barnie after 2016 and handcuffing the superdelegates and with no winner-take-all states it seems difficult (when there is no clear-cut favorite) for any (D) candidate to get a majority unless someone really gets momentum. i think Bloomberg is playing for brokered convention

The Evan McMullan strategy from 2016.

only Bloomberg is spending MANY millions, and is starting early. whereas Evan came in late, spent very little, and openly called for a floor vote at the convention while admitting he could only win Utah at best.

will be interesting to see if we get Bloomberg on any stage, im sure he'd like the field to clear a bit more so he can avoid 7 people on stage all saying "billionaires shouldnt be able to buy their way in"....

The DNC has already changed the debate qualification criteria so that Bloomberg can participate without having private donations.

He obviously has no path to win an outright majority of delgates and is playing for a brokered convention. Say his money, experience and professional campaign allow him to push away Buttigieg, Biden and Klobuchar, and we enter the convention with Bernie having 40% of pledged delegates, Biden having 8%, Warren at 8%, Buttigieg at 14%, and Bloomberg at 28%. In this scenario, which I think is not unreasonable at all, Bloomberg would be the consensus choice for Biden and Butigieg supporters, and also for significant chunks of Warren's delegates. So in a second round of voting, Bernie would get say 45% of pledged delegates, Bloomberg would get 55%, and all the superdelegates would rally behind Bloomberg as well.

Alternatively, he might simply be in the race to stop Bernie/Warren without any true ambitions of becoming president himself; just to make sure that the next president wont be someone who might raise his taxes.

That's cheap. Bernie would have seized much more than just 50% of her assets! :rofl:

particularly interested who you think the "empress" is that doesn't allow any dissent in covering her crimes, and which state funded organisations are threatening violence against kemmerich.
