18. I fully understand what is needed to qualify. I just think he isn't getting it done.

And IMHO I don't think he wants to. We'll see.
Do you really believe someone spending a million on FB per day can't get a DNC poll commissioned? It will be a huge failure if he can't.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Why isn't Mike 'getting it done'? Why no poll yet to get him in the debate? [View all] floppyboo Feb 2020 OP

nice sexist remark there. nt msongs Feb 2020 #1

Yup. cwydro Feb 2020 #2

I thought it was appropriate enough for someone running a 'who's your daddy?' campaign. floppyboo Feb 2020 #5

Wrong. BlueIdaho Feb 2020 #24

I own my words. Don't you worry your sweet little head about it one more minute. floppyboo Feb 2020 #34

Yeah. Go back and re-read what you wrote, my friend. floppyboo Feb 2020 #39

I noticed that too HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #6

Seriously? mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #29

Man enough? Really? MineralMan Feb 2020 #3

The hypocrisy here from Bloomberg lovers is jaw dropping Bradshaw3 Feb 2020 #7

Indeed. I want to watch Warren and Amy tear him a new one Wednesday. Get that poll out Mike! floppyboo Feb 2020 #8

I don't think he wants in the debates Bradshaw3 Feb 2020 #10

This is my feeling too. He gave the DNC oodles of money. He could get a poll if he wanted. floppyboo Feb 2020 #11

Ditto. musicblind Feb 2020 #19

If you knew anything about the qualifying process, you'd realize only certain polls are considersed, highplainsdem Feb 2020 #9

There are inherient sexual power plays for now. Women have yet to win a level playing field. floppyboo Feb 2020 #12

He can't dsc Feb 2020 #13

Bloomberg isn't a media organization? Come on. floppyboo Feb 2020 #14

I stand by my OP. If Bloomberg doesn't get a poll, he can't get it done. Or doesn't want scrutiny. floppyboo Feb 2020 #15

Your OP is nonsense. tritsofme Feb 2020 #16

I fully understand what is needed to qualify. I just think he isn't getting it done. floppyboo Feb 2020 #18

No, Bloomberg cannot create a new qualifying poll out of thin air, no matter how much he spends. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #21

He has already been invited to the debate by the DNC...actually. He has not yet accepted it. Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #17

Link? AFAIK, he still needs one more qualifying poll result for eligibility. (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 2020 #20

My mistake...he was invited to the Town Halls by CNN...but did not accept...I doubt he wants to go Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #22

He probably doesn't care to debate Bettie Feb 2020 #23

I don't think he can "commission" a poll. It has to be a poll the DNC authorizes. CalFione Feb 2020 #25

If he did Commision his own, people would instead accuse him of "buying" his way in. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #42

Trust me evertonfc Feb 2020 #26

If I were him, I'd be more scared of Warren. She has nothing to lose and everything to gain floppyboo Feb 2020 #37

The answer's simple... BERNIE!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #27

Let's see, Bernie complains that Bloomberg bends the rules to get into a debate, but then also aeromanKC Feb 2020 #28

My name isn't Bernie. Doh floppyboo Feb 2020 #38

I don't think he wants to run a conventional campaign. He's not running agains Democrats. 33taw Feb 2020 #31

Bernie supporters: "Bloomberg shouldn't be able to buy his way into debates!" CalFione Feb 2020 #32

LOL. I pointed that out, but you said it better. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #44

You know that only media polls count, but why not get a cheap shot in while you can? brooklynite Feb 2020 #33

Can't he buy a poll? Is that possible? Baclava Feb 2020 #35

He's paying most of the media's salary right now, so I guess he could stop a poll? floppyboo Feb 2020 #43

Watching Kasie Hunt while making dinner. Thumbs down to Bloomberg from Maxine Waters and Liz ... floppyboo Feb 2020 #40

Because then people that are asking "why not" would then be accusing him of buying polls. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #41

He has got himself into quite a pickle. Face the consequences Mike! floppyboo Feb 2020 #45
