An interesting comment from Pete on the debate stage tonight:

Buttigieg says Sanders and Bloomberg are “the two most polarizing figures on this stage," calling them "a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power." https://cnn.it/2SU6pyg #DemDebate

And that may be right. However only one of them can defeat trump. The clue is the one with the most money.

That's the election in a nut shell...not the best policies, not most support, but who can buy their way to the top

I notice you didn't reply to my post.

Yep, just all smear tactics from nasty dems pretending innocent trump has done bad things they made up.

What about all of the specific points you've ignored, again?

That would be whichever one wins the primary, as Bloomberg has said he will bankroll the presidential campaign regardless of who wins. Trump had less cash than Clinton, money is important but not decisive.

Perhaps I should apply for a job with CNN. I can't recall when I last saw an article so badly littered with spelling and grammatical errors.

Genuinely awful.

They probably wrote it hastily to get it out ahead of the competition. However, I have noticed that the media, especially the digital media, is lazy and lacking in both proof reading and editorial scrutiny.

You won't be able to get a proofreading job at CNN or anywhere else these days Ozzy. Proofreading as a profession is in the process of being phased out as an unnecessary expense by publishing companies, so we're going to have to get used to this sort of thing.
ETA shocking performance by Bloomberg in the TV debate.

None of it was worthy of a reply, the post was a good example of Trump derangement syndome

Throwing shade with the best of them, just like Trump, CLinton et al.

Based on his 'patriarchal views' and the American public's apparent ease with all that, it's not hard to see Bloomberg getting the Dem nomination and engaging Trump in a titanic Battle of the aholes.

All 100% correct, but the response will be:

all 100% smear tactics if the dems

Proved Paul's point there...

Or in the real world, you have no answers to anything that actually disputes what was said, so resort to the good old TDS standard reply.

I agree. I am a Trump supporter myself; however, as to which one could defeat him, I have said all along it’s Bloomberg.

He said that but I am not sure I believe that 100%. I just can’t see Bloomberg, if he is trashed and beaten by one of the Dems, hand over more millions to that person to help them win.

Tom Steyer has dipped into his personal $Billion dollar account and is spending millions ahead of Super Tuesday to try and make a play.

[RDMcG]

It seems to be a circular firing squad for the Dems.

I cannot imagine any scenario where Sanders or Warren would win if nominated; the downballot impact will be devastating as lots of moderates will sit it out, and quite possibly the House and Senate will both be GOP majority,. As it is turnout is very low for the process, and viewership of the debates is falling.

If they continue on the path they have chosen then it will be Trump in a walk.

I personally hope that Bloomberg can survive a very poor start, but I doubt it.

Not something we are immune from either. Every day the BBC live newsfeeds are littered with spelling mistakes, wrong words and sentences that just don’t make sense.

I blame this partly upon the 140 character abbreviated world in which we live.

For me Warren won this debate she beat everyone with a stick with Bloomberg got murdered with Biden in ICU.

Indeed. If anyone has 'TDS' it's those defending trump.

Oh, as I type, Roger Stone sentenced to prison. The judge must have 'TDS' eh, NoNeed?

[Halb]

I think the TDS stuff is a two way street, he'll always be making the worst play to some, and some pathologically love him because he repulses many people (which is a moronic reason).
