Pre-Super Tuesday Presidential poll

"Not doing anything in public awareness" is not the same thing as "not doing anything."

 

One of the reasons I asked about Warren supporters is more than a few Bernie folks I know are clamoring for Warren to get out assuming they will inherit her voters. I don't think that's the case and would be a wash at best.

 

A perfect phone call.

 

I think Bloomberg was counting on Biden getting hammered more on the Ukraine stuff and never really catching fire. He would have been the "elder statesman" option for those looking for a moderate option. Poll released today showed him plus 3 over Trump in a head to head. But I do think if we've learned anything about this primary is how relationships matter in politics. People know who "just showed up" and those they've known for years. If you are a newcomer, you better know someone who does have those relationships to make the introductions.

 

Although it's been said, many times, many ways, no doubt by the time this posts, most likely he's waiting to see how things play out before getting in the game. Or, more likely, he's playing the good soldier at the party's behest.

 

He'll pardon himself of all federal crimes from the flight deck of Air Force One as it lands in Moscow at 11:55 am EST on Jan. 20.

However President Biden can then announce the US will fully cooperate with any prosecutions brought by the International Court of Justice in The Hague, including trials for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

 

That's been Bernie's tune from the go, he doesn't acknowledge the South or think the voters there are important enough to care about. His fawning over goddamn Fidel Castro put Florida out of play for him on any level because god forbid he be competitive in the fourth largest state in the Union.

You'd think he would've learned SOMETHING when Hillary was waxing his ass by 50-60 points in states in the deep south in 2016. The mostly black voting Democratic voting bloc in the deep south know those Gulf coast states are going red so they turn up big in the primaries because it's their only chance to be heard. But he truly doesn't give a shit about them and they fact that they don't want some 80 year old white guy with multiple vacation residencies telling them about a revolution when they are just asking for more community investment, a better wage scale and some laws to stop that Republican state houses from closing every fucking polling place in a county that has shown any level of minority growth.

If the old bag even spent a week in the Southeast just talking about voter suppression and challenging all the gerrymandering, re-districting bullshit that happens here he'd improve his standing by 20 points. And that's something centrist, left-centrist and leftists can get behind. But it's more important for Sanders to prove his can draw a bigger group of assholes to his rallies than Donald Trump.

 

*It wasn't just a phone call.
