Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Campaign 2020 First Bernie Sanders Thread 2020

You brought up a good point, JGW, of Bloomberg and others less well known politicians moving freely between both parties.

Kinda bolsters the argument that we only have one political party with two factions.

Heck Jeff, we all get fooled by these politicians. It’s why they’re politicians and we’re not.

One thing Sanders supporters heard at the Vegas debate was 5 candidates state flatly that they will be staying in the race, effectively denying Sanders the ability to collect a majority of delegates, and wanting ‘the process’ To play out at the convention.

That means 500 unelected superdelegates throwing it to their donors candidate.

They just lost Sanders supporters in the general and handed it to Trump in the election.

And they’re fine with it, by the way. The are commodifying political loss and looking to 2024. More apps, more consultancies, more conspiracies to spin out of the garbage channels, etc, etc.

Said it before, saying it again, the Democratic Party are professional flop artists that have triangulated loss into profit by holding voters hostage.

IMO.

We'll see if that holds true after Super Tuesday.

Well he certainly earned Mike the Manchurian Candidate tonight.
He is toast.

LOL, If Bloomberg is considered to be a Democrat, then Bernie's a Democrat, sorry.
And Tom Perez is an absolute POS.

Yeah, it's a pile of cash to stay in, and the donations dry up if you're not in a position to win, and most especially if you're an obvious spoiler.

Mebbe, dunno.

Bloomberg’s takeover gambit is very much a hostile one that you would expect from the capitalist class. He’s not only buying up all the talent but he’s telling other donors to sit it out. He’s got this. Last night was the previeW

The other candidates can read a room and, more importantly, read a convention center and, with the exception of rules ratf#cking, the rest might be seeing the second play of not winning the primary. The consolation of turning it into a payday by leveraging your delegate votes.

I think I mentioned my suspicion of the ‘brokered convention’ option months ago.

Anyone who’s bothered to read the Podesta emails can imagine this as the firewall, much the same as was attempted with Trump by republicans.

I’d put even money on them handing it to someone else in the second round. Hard to say no to big Mo.

Yeah but...Dems are going to find themselves between a rock and a hard place if they try it. They need the left to win. There was talk in 2016 about a brokered Republican convention. But they needed the racist assh*les to win. Shoe's on the other foot this time around...Dems need the socialist assh*les to win.

Being a socialist assh*le this makes me very happy. Big Mo has held the gavel far too long.

If Bernie has a plurality of delegates going into the convention he will walk out The Candidate.

The Party will do everything in its power to stop that.

So are you betting no second round brokered convention, Gregor?
Just curious for the book making aspect of it.

I’m leaning that they will the more I think on it.
