Should wrap things up nicely. Super Tuesday is an air game, not a ground game, and only Bloomberg has the cash to pull that off.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
It only matters until the next primary superceeds it still_one Feb 2020 #1
Iowa and New Hampshire always have an outsized influence on the following contests. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #5
It will be forgotten after Super Tuesday, and I believe that the top 5 candidates will see it still_one Feb 2020 #7
The fiasco will be forgotten, but my point is that the narrative that comes out of IA and NH... Garrett78 Feb 2020 #16
Bloomberg will be the one left standing ... left-of-center2012 Feb 2020 #2
Yep. With Sanders ascending and Joe faltering, Bloomberg becomes the obvious moderate stopbush Feb 2020 #4
If Biden doesn't do at least third next week, I'll be flipping over to Bloomberg after SC. Zolorp Feb 2020 #13
Tell me how Bloomberg wins a majority of delegates. That isn't going to happen. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #6

Money doesn't equate to votes/delegates. This Bloomberg talk is nuts. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #20
Yes, money does equate to votes, and votes equates to delegates. Zolorp Feb 2020 #21
Read one of the many studies that have demonstrated that you're wrong. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #22
Oh yeah? Link those studies Zolorp Feb 2020 #23
Fine, I'll do the legwork. Here's one: Garrett78 Feb 2020 #24

You asked for a study and got it; then blew off his questions Bradshaw3 Feb 2020 #30
I'm still waiting for proof Zolorp Feb 2020 #31
He needs to do very well on Super Tuesday. stopbush Feb 2020 #15
the bigger issue isn't caucuses or not at all. the issue is this primary system we have is Kurt V. Feb 2020 #3
Two weeks is too short. still_one Feb 2020 #9
why? Kurt V. Feb 2020 #10
Because they need to be vetted at least for 3 months in my opinion still_one Feb 2020 #12
They've been vetted since summer tho. Kurt V. Feb 2020 #18
I understand our point Kurt, but i think putting the candidates in full campaign still_one Feb 2020 #32
I agree. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #35
There are all sorts of ways to do things differently, but caucuses need to go. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #11
i like this also. the point is we need an overhaul. Kurt V. Feb 2020 #17
We do. Many of us have been singing that song for a long, long time. Don't hold your breath. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #34
Please. Anyone with $50+ billion that he or she is willing to spend is a contender. n/t Laelth Feb 2020 #19
Buying ads isn't enough. Money doesn't equate to votes/delegates. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #25
Ask me that question after Super Tuesday calguy Feb 2020 #27
LOL, after Super Tuesday. That defeats the purpose. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #28
Bloomberg is starting to get crowds on stops. Blue_true Feb 2020 #36
I agree that his money alone is not enough, but he was the Mayor of New York. Laelth Feb 2020 #37
Funny you should say that bc Iowa just proved that it doesn't matter THAT much... Vivienne235729 Feb 2020 #29
Clearly, as I already said, Iowa's impact this year has been dampened. In general, though... Garrett78 Feb 2020 #33
Saying it here and now...I won't vote for Bloomberg pecosbob Feb 2020 #38
