Biden is going to reclaim his support lost to Bloomberg

[Otto Lidenbrock]

This is the first time a national audience saw Bloomberg in person, unfiltered and vetted. He didn't do well.

The idea of Bloomberg pumping hundreds of millions on ads made him go above Biden. Biden had his name smeared by Republicans during the impeachment inquiry and trial. He was damaged. But tonight he fought back.

Clearly support for Bloomberg is support for his video editors.

1. Yeah, I think Joe shored up South Carolina tonight. It was a very fine performance.

2. I really hope so because for the past week I've had such a terrible sense of dread. I may

need to see a doctor if we don't nominate the right person, I'm not kidding.

3. you weren't alone.. just kept thinking.. things change..

all the time

[UniteFightBack]

5. Thank you Cha that makes me feel a little better.

21. You're Welcome, UFB!

15. Right there with you.

This past week has been very unsettling for me, but watching Joe tonight settled me down, especially after watching a very angry and agitated Bernie.

I believe this is the beginning of the end for Bernie's candidacy and the re-beginning of Joe's candidacy.


Let Joe be Joe and he'll take it from there.

4. I'm watching Biden's MSNBC interview, and he said Bloomberg is essentially a Republican.

.

Does that mean he'll reclaim the right-leaning Dems and some of the never Trumpers?

.

[UniteFightBack]

6. Yes it does so let's just all rally around Joe!!!

[TheBlackAdder]

7. I'll rally around the Democratic Primary winner.

[UniteFightBack]

8. Sure yeah whoever that is...it's not like you have a vote in it or anything.nt

[TheBlackAdder]

12. The question is, will you vote for the Primary winner, regardless of who they are?

[UniteFightBack]

13. Actually that wasn't the question. nt

[TheBlackAdder]

14. It really is. It highlights a past trend I am seeing that seems to model this thread.

.

It was a simple question that is being avoided.

.

[dware]

17. I'll answer that question,

I will vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever it is, I may not like Bernie as a candidate, but if he ends up as our nominee, I'll hold my nose and pull the lever for him.

Every one here has pretty much said the same thing, they will vote for the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is.

[Cal Carpenter]

9. I think you may be right.

I hope so. I'd personally rather it go to Sanders or Warren, but I think Biden's more likely to get most of it.

Anything to get it away from Bloomberg!

[ancianita]

10. He did exactly that. It wasn't politics. It was on policy and was aligned with everyone else onstage

[yortsed snacilbuper]

11. Go Joe!

[rockfordfile]

16. I think Biden and Sanders did the best tonight. Warren was good.

[R B Garr]

18. Yes. Biden's dip directly coincided with the impeachment

trial, just as they planned. He did a great job at reclaiming his stature now. Bloomberg hit a wall fast.

[Laelth]

19. Sadly, very few people watched tonight's debate.

Bloomberg will continue to saturate the airwaves with his ads, and Biden will continue to sink in the polls.

At this point, I think that Bloomberg will be our nominee--for better or for worse.
