No wonder he quit. He had a tiny following.

I think Mini Mike’s accomplishment is what he and the DNC set out to do...stop Bernie’s nomination again...as well as thin the herd of candidates (Warrens next) that were stealing oxygen from Creepy Uncle Joe’s campaign (God knows he needs all the oxygen his brain can handle to function). Just the fact that the DNC changed the rules in the middle of the stream, to allow a former RINO and multi billionaire with “racist” baggage (the anathema of the far left democrats) to throw his hat into the ring, to my way of thinking shows it was planned to again stack the deck against the Bern ...plus a lot of publicity paid by Bloomberg’s “pocket change”. All of the failed candidates now back Biden...surprise, surprise, surprise. In the end Bernie will be fucked over AGAIN and will back Biden (shades of Hillary) and urge the Bernie Bro’s to follow suit... I’m laughing at this shitshow all the way to November...it will be epic!

He endorses Biden, will his millions follow the endorsement? Will we start seeing constant "Joe will Remember It!" ads?

Bernie needs to run as an independent a la Perot.

Bloomers says he’s not going away. He’ll spend his money getting Biden elected. Prepare for more Bloomer ads.

Until now, I don't think most Americans knew much about Mini-Mike. Now they know all about him and I think he's destroyed his quiet reputation. He was well-known to us because he was against us. Now I wonder if anyone will take his news agency seriously. His baggage is now affiliated with his news agency's name.
My WAG was that he was going to take enough damage yesterday to start thinking about getting out - I wish I could claim it was something more than a WAG based on a major lack of faith in the efficacy of political advertising.
Either way, though, I've gotta ask - exactly how prominently and aggressively is Mini Mike actually going to support the eventual nominee? Everyone claimed that Job One was getting rid of Trump, sure, but everyone sort of expected that they would be the candidate to do it. Mike's a bit old to be setting himself up for a run in 2024 or 2028, the Dems have wholeheartedly committed themselves to gun control and Uncah Joe, whatever else he may be, is the Dem's Great Moderate Hope. So what, exactly, is Bloomberg going to get for any further contributions or for even for trying to line his delegates up behind Biden?
Maybe Brian Williams actually found an acorn. He said last night that if Biden wins Texas, then that pretty much obviates the reason for voting for Bloomberg since they're both moderates and they both pitched themselves as alternatives to Crazy Bernie. Biden had caught up with and just overtaken Bernie in the Texas vote last night, and wound up taking 34% and 70 delegates compared to Bernie's 30% and 60 delegates and Bloomberg's 14.4% and 4 delegates. (See http://www.usatoday.com/electi...primaries/democratic ) So maybe Bloomberg listened to the best political counselor he could think of after last night's vote came in, and that counselor was Brian Williams.

Never let the truth stand in the way of a good conspiracy allegation - you'll just get in the way of any number of fascinating barroom conversations. By the way, have you heard that Chief Justice Roberts is in the pocket of both the Russians and George Soros?

Yes - Perot accomplished his goal of ensuring the incumbent won. Why not Bernie, too?
That's about his only way of striking back against the party that's screwing him over twice now.
And that would be good for Trump.

Heard on Rush today that Mini Mike makes over a Billion a year on interest alone on his investments, so what he paid out wasn't even close to a full years of interest.
Don't think for a second he'll give up trying to stop Trump and/or buy the D party.
He's got so much money it's not even a drop in the hat, as a consequence though, many Americans resent his aristocratic attitude, and the more he pushes the more they turn away.

Yeah, I was glad to see Biden shoot himself in the foot with that early on.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.
