If he is truly on our side we will begin to see Sanders attack ads more frequently and no attacks against the other Democratic candidates.

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

Thank you! I've self deleted to be safe. Shame it is necessary when speaking the truth. Squinch Feb 2020 #86

But going back to the original question, why is Bloomberg's wealth immoral, but BS's is not? Squinch Feb 2020 #59

You're comparing Bernie's wealth to Bloomberg's? brutus smith Feb 2020 #61

So a few million and a few estates are fine but beyond that it's immoral? Squinch Feb 2020 #63

Ah, but don't you see? What's good for thee is not good for me. apcalc Feb 2020 #77

Hopefully BS will let us know at what level obscene wealth becomes immoral. Squinch Feb 2020 #79

Bernie is no FDR. Squinch Feb 2020 #67

It has not turned out yet. Premature crowning. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #34

While i agree with you, unfortunately Bloomberg is going to make it very still_one Feb 2020 #4

Yes, Bloomberg who after all is a Republican in Dem clothing... DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #17

I think if Bernie is the nominee, which is the direction it appears to be heading, the stuff that still_one Feb 2020 #50

Yes. And one would think he would be aware of the political dynamics. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #43

Perhaps the next debate will clarify things, and point out the liability that a Sanders nomination still_one Feb 2020 #51

Bloomberg is to blame but not Amy? I like both of them but if you're going to blame one you have to Squinch Feb 2020 #62

I disagree. Bloomberg has unlimited resources that the other non-Bernie block candidates do not still_one Feb 2020 #68

That doesn't change the fact that they are all going after the same voters. Squinch Feb 2020 #71

Sure, but some have significantly more impact on specific candidates than others still_one Feb 2020 #72

But I think that is only because the voters who were left in that Squinch Feb 2020 #73

I hope Biden wins in spite of the gop cross over votes in SC.. Cha Feb 2020 #7

Interesting progression there. Every vote update, Bernie inches closer to 50% Bucky Feb 2020 #8

He may be bringing new people in with his promises, but others are fleeing and will flee wisteria Feb 2020 #11

If we were running against President Romney or President Cruz... Bucky Feb 2020 #15

That legislative skills thing? According to Snopes it's a Republican meme DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #18

Thanks, will Google that Bucky Feb 2020 #23

If they're "fleeing" then they aren't the Democrats they profess to be. brutus smith Feb 2020 #58

For every one he brings, another might drop out. Since his results do not show he has more support emmaverybo Feb 2020 #36

you convinced me to show my preference Hamlette Feb 2020 #26

I'm waiting for the convention. SleeplessinSoCal Feb 2020 #39

Please. Debates, speeches, big gotcha moments do not demonstrate a candidate's potential emmaverybo Feb 2020 #42

but with only a plurality, and whatever may happen between now and then SleeplessinSoCal Feb 2020 #87

I don't see Warren dropping out unless to form a coalition with Bernie. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #98

No, I am drawing my conclusions from polls showing Bernie catching Biden is South Carolina totodeinhere Feb 2020 #88

Correction: 78 out of 4000. Squinch Feb 2020 #89

..... LovingA2andMI Feb 2020 #78

Bloomberg should focus on both Sanders and Trump. honest.abe Feb 2020 #69

Bloomberg should drop out. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #80

He could turn out to be the only thing between us and 4 more years of Trump. honest.abe Feb 2020 #81

No more time left to sway public opinion against Bernie. We need a single centrist to go against him Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #84

Huh? We are just getting started. honest.abe Feb 2020 #85

In terms of numbers of delegates won we are just getting started. But I read here Squinch Feb 2020 #91

Or he could lose to Trump. n/t totodeinhere Feb 2020 #92
