Another Story From The Local Watering Hole (Shit Storm Ensues)

[WillyT]

So...

As we are discussing caucuses, debates, fund-raising, and polling...

A person, retired, but long in the tooth with CA State politics, pipes up and says...

"You'll know TPTB are panicking if Michael Bloomberg jumps in."

I ask... " What would happen then ???"

He says, "Although we would all prefer Elizabeth Warren to be a fighter/leader for Bernie Sanders in the Senate if he were to be elected...

If Bloomberg were to "jump in"...

I would suggest that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren team up.

They might make an announcement whereby Sanders, who is 74 and did not necessarily want this, makes a deal with Warren where she is announced his VP if elected, and he serves one term.

Leaving Elizabeth Warren available as the first Woman President of the United States."

A whole lot of people nodded in agreement.

What say you ???



They serve good drinks there.

1. LOL.

2. Doesn't seem fair

to me. Yea, he's 74, so? What if he's awesome at 78, 79, 80?

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. If Carter could be so awesome at 90, fighting cancer AND still hammering for Habitat for Humanity...

Bernie's got a hell of a lot more energy that I do, and I am younger than him.

3. I think those two together would be perfect and after he is done with his terms

she can be the first woman President.

4. I love it IF Bernie actually only want one term.

Otherwise, Warren can run the next go around.

5. I cant fint my post, but I said the exact same thing. Bernie/Elizabeth, 1 term for Bernie then

Elizabeth becomes the first female pres. Its gonna happen,

6. Keep in mind that Elizabeth Warren is herself 66.

In 8 years she'll be 74. I know, she's only a couple of years younger than Hillary, but looks about 15 years younger.

7. Works for me.

8. Hey, I like a good drink while I'm gum bumping, WillyT...

I like to hear conversations like this, meanwhile, while people start thinking about how screwed up the world is when people like Bloomberg "jump in"!

[Old Codger]

9. A thought that

Has been running around in my head for some time now, would give Bernie a great boost, would take the question of age out of the equation and would give her the shot in 2020...almost sure thing...

[winter is coming]

10. It would be a mistake for Bernie to announce he only plans to serve one term.

It won't reassure people; it will just send the media into a frenzy of speculation about which health problem he's concealing. Warren's not that much younger than Bernie. He'd do better to select a running mate under 60 whom he trusts. I don't see Bloomberg as a reason to change that.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. It is a measure of the bubble that "they" live in, to think Bloomberg would be a viable alternative

Or one that wouldnt pull way more votes from the GOP than from us.

There are maybe a handful of manhattan Multimillionaire PUMA types who would vote for him, thats it.

12. a Tulsi Gabbard would stir

up the pot some and add the contrast of a representative from the other end of the country would be a good combo as well

[roguevalley]

13. Bernie will do two terms. He's in love with his life now. He is reveling in the

race, debates and all of it. So am I.
