Meanwhile this morning... It seems Bloomberg knows what buttons to push. I like it. The question is whether he can reach those buttons. Killary outspent Drumpfhitler like 2:1 and still lost. Mike might also have a disqualifying factor that costs him a fair amount of the coveted "black vote." I also wonder if a short guy can really beat a tall guy. There is something psychological in humans to gravitate toward the tall guy for leadership roles. Either way, it would be interesting to see a former Democrat take on a former Republican in the election.

As for your tall guy theory, I will not seek nor shall I accept the nomination to run for anything.

I think Sanders would have a shot. Same with Klobuchar. The rest, I believe, have disqualifying issues that will render them non-starters. The mistake would be if the DNC fucks Sanders out of the nomination if he wins it fair and square. No one gave Trump a shot, but the RNC gave him the shot when he legitimately won the nomination. You can't count a guy like Bernie out if he wins the nomination. Offering largess from the Treasury is a pretty good way to drive turnout.

LMAO, having your cake and eating it too, eh? You can't compare someone to Trump and then claim it's impossible for him to win.

The entire media is, and has since day 1 been, in the bag for Trump. They totally love him and influence everyone to vote for him.

The media has done a very, very good job of legitimizing Trump's bizarre behavior in order to avoid his histrionics. For instance, the president has used his Twitter account two threaten nuclear war against two (2) separate countries. A hostile media would probably point out how it's childish and reckless to determine foreign policy while grunting out a well done steak on the shitter while watching Fox and Friends.

The way the candidates were going after each other last night, good luck picking a running mate from the also rans, or getting their supporters to get in line behind the candidate the DNC finally appoints.

I watched part of the debate. Bernie said he will use an executive order to ban fracking on day 1 of his presidency. I kind of hope he wins now. That sort of lunacy that causes a massive nat gas price spike and harms the Yankees would be utterly fucking hilarious. You'd all be paying at least a grand more for heating bills in the winter, but at least we wouldn't have an orange fascist dictator in the White House.

I thought the same thing Pard about Bernie unilaterally ending fracking. In addition to higher fuel costs, can you imagine the crash that would cause on Wall Street? I will be completely out of the market a month before the election. Way too much downside potential if you ask me.
