And moreover, trying to bring down somebody who is well known for his crystal-clean profile (and his family's) - and his "personal and political gain" either...

Temporary unless he does much better in Mass. All credit to Pete though.

Pete is the guy, Trump would crush Biden in a debate, but Pete? Trump could actually lose all composure against him

Vote Pete, he is the only chance for a dem POTUS in the WH

He's got a tiny fraction of the spending power of Mayor Mike.

Let's see what happens in Texas on March 3rd. Bloomberg has just opened ELEVEN new campaign offices there.

i assume you mean NH.

but i think he could do poorly again in NH and come out OK if he crushes in it SC and wins or comes in a close second in NV.

super tuesday is going to be pretty interesting.

Why do you consider Michael Bloomberg not to be a capable candidate?

(apart from his age)

curtain twitcher dave,
what is it in the post of mine that you quoted prompts you to ask why i don't think bloomberg is a capable candidate?

You assume correctly.

an interesting read for those inclined....

What if there aren’t really American swing voters—or not enough, anyway, to pick the next president? What if it doesn’t matter much who the Democratic nominee is? What if there is no such thing as “the center,” and the party in power can govern however it wants for two years, because the results of that first midterm are going to be bad regardless? What if the Democrats' big 41-seat midterm victory in 2018 didn’t happen because candidates focused on health care and kitchen-table issues, but simply because they were running against the party in the White House? What if the outcome in 2020 is pretty much foreordained, too?


To the political scientist Rachel Bitecofer, all of that is almost certainly true, and that has made her one of the most intriguing new figures in political forecasting this year.

An Unsettling New Theory: There Is No Swing Voter - POLITICO

^"And today her model tells her the Democrats are a near lock for the presidency in 2020, and are likely to gain House seats and have a decent shot at retaking the Senate."

I agree with her but turnout is the key.

^^ Good article Ray.

The logic of her argument is solid.

I wonder how much of the election will be decided, not by the 'swing voters' but those Dem voters who actually turn out.

Trumps 'rusted on' voters, I assume, are a near certainty to turn out en-masse.

Fortunately, there is no "International Election Observation" that would make the counting much more difficult - and time consuming...

International observation is complemented in many countries by domestic observer groups.

Standard international election observation missions, as deployed by, for the example, the European Commission or the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), monitor the entire electoral process

err....about what harry?

i've posted that i don't think bloomberg can get the nomination...or win the general...but i'd certainly support him against trump.

so what is it that you think i'm upset about?

true.

and like nearly everyone else in america, i can assure you it won't be 'mayor mike'.




in fact, i don't think i've ever heard him referred to with that name.

buttigieg, sure....but not bloomberg....even when he was actually a mayor he was just 'bloomberg'.

but good for you harry.....you're leading the charge with this great nick name.



just my 2 cents, but this is yet another in a long list of reasons why you should stick to copy & pasting cartoons.

Yeah, you're two cents is worth diddlysquat.

And when I refer to "Mayor Mike", you'll know exactly who I'm talking about, so stop being such a fucking twit.

It would be so boring to do an election in the old-fashion way like some undeveloped countries when they know the results of the whole country over night, won't be?
(e.g. when they vote for the dangerous Mr.P.)
