Bloomberg improves from his last debate -- but is it enough?

[mia]

...It was an improvement by almost any measure over his debut a week earlier in Las Vegas, when he seemed to shrink from conflict, showed his nerves and spent long periods disengaged from the discussion onstage. This time he frequently raised his hand to demand more time, mostly filled the time he was allotted and pushed back aggressively against his rivals....

It was far from clear whether his performance was enough to save his hopes for the nomination. By his campaign’s own assessment, Bloomberg and the rest of the Democratic field have a rapidly dwindling window to prevent Sanders from winning an insurmountable delegate lead on March 3, Super Tuesday, when 14 states hold primaries and Bloomberg will appear on ballots for the first time....

Still, Bloomberg has spent about $500 million to build a campaign that has two separate and increasingly contradictory missions. He wants to use his organization to win the Democratic nomination — and if he fails at that first goal, he plans to use the same staff, technology and bankroll to help the eventual Democratic nominee.

Bloomberg now faces the reality that the path he sees to accomplishing the first goal could undermine his ability to accomplish the second. Each of his attacks on Sanders as an unelectable radical risks sabotaging his desire to topple Trump if Sanders emerges as the nominee....

1. No, with all the money and minds around Bloomberg he's still not focusing on swing states

... and getting his numbers up on those areas against Trump outside of the MOE.

Electability is still number one in this election

3. Bloomberg's spending big money in Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and others.

He's opened campaign offices in Michigan

5. We'll see, the mistake Biden is making is not touting his swing state numbers against Trump. That's

... what's more important If Bloomberg can get his numbers in those states up outside the MOE against Trump then I"m all in.

7. We need more polls other then the ones we have to see if Bloomberg is outside the MOE

There's a poll in Michigan showing Bloomberg leading Trump outside the MOE but that's just one poll.

2. I hope not,I hate to see the presidency sold to the highest bidder.

4. If a good/loud/aggressive debater is your number one priority, probably not. But

that's only one part of the picture for most people. I mean, Donnie Dirtbag doesn't even debate, he makes funny faces and blurts nonsense and talks about his wiener.

6. I wasn't impressed.

But I'd still take him over Bernie.
