Is that some kind of attempt to “play nice” so trump doesn’t publicly eviscerate him? What’s the thinking behind this? | |||

The DNC will screw Sanders again  Benie should run as an independent.Bloomberg could qualify for presidential debates under new DNC rules https://nypost.com/2020/01/31/...under-new-dnc-rules/ Billionaire presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg may be eligible to join the debate stage after the New Hampshire primary under new rules adopted by the Democratic National Committee. The dramatically revamped DNC criteria eliminate the individual donor threshold used for the first eight debates and double the polling threshold to qualify for future debates. Bloomberg, the former three-term mayor of New York City — who is estimated to be worth $50 billion — is self-financing his campaign and not accepting contributions. The donor rule barred him from participating in the earlier debates. After spending $270 million on TV and other media ads since launching his campaign in late November, Bloomberg is now topping 10 percent in recent national surveys — poll-vaulting ahead of other candidates who’ve been campaigning for a year or more. Candidates have to earn at least 10 percent in four national polls released between Jan. 15 and Feb. 18, or 12 percent in two polls conducted in Nevada or South Carolina, in order to participate in the Feb. 19 debate in Las Vegas. Bloomberg could meet the national polling criteria, if not the Nevada or South Carolina threshold. Any candidate who earns at least one delegate to the national convention in either the Iowa caucuses or New Hampshire primary will also qualify for the Nevada debate. Bernie Sanders’ campaign quickly slammed the new rules as unfairly elevating Bloomberg. “To now change the rules in the middle of the game to accommodate Mike Bloomberg, who is trying to buy his way into the Democratic nomination, is wrong. That’s the definition of a rigged system,” said Sanders senior campaign adviser Jeff Weaver. Bloomberg, meanwhile, is ready to make his case on the debate stage, said his campaign manager Kevin Sheekey. “We are thrilled that voters could soon have the chance to see Mike Bloomberg on the debate stage, hear his vision for the country, and see why he is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump and bring our country together,” Sheekey said. “Mike has run for office three times and never taken a dime from special interests, allowing him to act independently, on the merits, without having to do what donors expect. He is proud to be doing the same with this campaign.” _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Get used to it. Maybe they'll buy Bernie another vacation home as a consolation prize.  "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Not to be out done, Joe Biden promised to not send any drug traffickers to prison and instead vowed that taxpayers will "pay" to send them to rehab facilities. | |||

No Tingles – Chris Matthews is Very Worried About The “Socialism” of Bernie Sanders... During the post-debate discussion on MSNBC Chris Matthews starts to worry about the brand of ‘socialism’ now overtaking the Democrat party. The sound quality is not great, but the perspective of Matthews explains the apoplexy within the DNC. WATCH: https://theconservativetreehou...sanders/#more-183064 "Some things are apparent.

Well, just where did you think the crazy train was taking all you nutjobs, Tingles? After all, this is the will of the people. Oh, wait, that's the problem isn't it? Free elections can lead to undesirabe results, so the Central Committee of the communist err Democratic party must control who wins and who loses. The fact of the matter, Tingles, is that it doesn't matter who the Dems run for POTUS this time around. They're gonna lose. So, put Bernie up there, let him lose, then, next time around, he'll be quiet. Right? | |||

20 years ago in HS, Buttigieg wrote One outstanding and inspiring example of such integrity is the country’s only Independent Congressman, Vermont’s Bernie Sanders Sanders’ courage is evident in the first word he uses to describe himself: “Socialist”. In a country where Communism is still the dirtiest of ideological dirty words, in a climate where even liberalism is considered radical, and Socialism is immediately and perhaps willfully confused with Communism, a politician dares to call himself a socialist? He does indeed. Here is someone who has “looked into his own soul” and expressed an ideology, the endorsement of which, in today’s political atmosphere, is analogous to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Even though he has lived through a time in which an admitted socialist could not act in a film, let alone hold a Congressional seat, Sanders is not afraid to be candid about his political persuasion. It may seem strange that someone so steadfast in his principles has a reputation as a peacemaker between divided forces in Washington, but this is what makes Sanders truly remarkable. He represents President Kennedy’s ideal of “compromises of issues, not of principles.” Sanders’ positions on many difficult issues are commendable, but his real impact has been as a reaction to the cynical climate which threatens the effectiveness of the democratic system. His energy, candor, conviction, and ability to bring people together stand against the current of opportunism, moral compromise, and partisanship which runs rampant on the American political scene. He and few others like him have the power to restore principle and leadership in Congress and to win back the faith of a voting public weary and wary of political opportunism. Above all, I commend Bernie Sanders for giving me an answer to those who say American young people see politics as a cesspool of corruption, beyond redemption. I have heard that no sensible young person today would want to give his or her life to public service. I can personally assure you this is untrue. https://www.jfklibrary.org/lea...y-by-peter-buttigieg | |||

HAHAHA!!!!  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

He's not against spreading mis-information about Trump, far from it. What normal humans call 'Hunter and Daddy Corruption in Ukraine and China' he calls 'Trump misinformation' - he's against 'spreading' that.  | |||

My guess is Chris Matthews didn't come up with this thought on his own. My bet is he is jumping on the Carville train. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

I just don't get it. The only people insane enough to be for this move are left wing liberal Tweeter jockies who would only vote Dem anyway. Maybe someone can tell me how this move is going to win independent votes (the ones they have to have to win) over to their side. Buttgig is a nitwit, but I'd think even a nitwit could see this. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

I believe the reason is because the Democrat candidates aren’t campaigning to be elected President at this point, but against each other for the nomination. Some of these ideas and proposals may bite them later (I certainly hope so), but that’s something they will deal with then. If they’re not nominated in the first place nothing else will matter. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….
