Biden still says he's going to win. That Iowa & NH aren't that important.

Uncle Joe drop out? No it's too early. Besides, it keeps the stable genius busy trying to manufacture another conspiracy theory. Heck, he's already been impeached for it, why not double down? Meanwhile, Bloomberg is buying the election with his effective ads targeting the black vote with him and Obama and stealing the thunder from Joe. He needs to stay in to keep the stable genius focused on yet another delusional fantasy. Getting yourself impeached on a what if? What a useful idiot.

Bloomberg is trying to buy the election, but he has already hurt himself and the race is really just started. As for Biden and dropping out: It is too early, but he is going to have to shock the world with a huge wine in SC to stay in the race. If he lasts that long it will be interesting to see how he handles going into super Tues. The way Biden is losing his temper and the things out of his mouth to voters could be the end. I just think his age is starting to show in so many ways. Others are going to notice this before long if they haven't already.

Yea I agree that it is way too early to be dropping out. Two primaries is just two primaries. Deciding anything at this point is like trying to divine with a crystal ball. I don't know whether he has a chance or not but after getting to this point he'd be crazy to drop out now.

Time to cash in the chips. He knew he wasn't going to win New Hampshire, but fifth place?

Enjoy the time you have left, Joe.
In the beginning, I was all for Joe, but I have to admit that I am now not so in love with him. Not over some of the verbal hesitations, or anything like that, after all, he is older, as are most of the people running. More of a problem is his potential ability to neutralize Donald Trump in any debates, or at the polls.

I think it is time to stop electing old white men and , if we are not progressive enough to vote for a woman, or a gay man, at least put a younger candidate up there, who can hold up to the rigors of running this country.

Now, that being said, at this very moment, my money is still on Bernie. For some reason, he seems to have a very strong following, even in young voters, and he would take no BS from Trump in a debate.

It's becoming apparent to me, right there on the NC/SC Border that Bloomberg is killing off Biden day by day. A lot of establishment Democrat support, especially in the Black community is going to Bloomberg instead of Biden. The mayor of Charlotte, and the disgraced ex-Governor of NC just endorsed Bloomberg. IMO, they'd be lining up behind Biden, the defacto "front runner".



BTW, early voting has already started in NC. And the all important SC primary (which does not have early voting) is at the end of the month.


Bloomberg, Sanders, and Buttigieg are all over the place. Biden's no where to be seen.

So Bloomberg's biggest effect on the race right how, is to hurt Biden and ultimately make Sanders the leading candidate.

Hurt Biden we know, but after Biden is gone, Bloomberg might accept Mayor Pete as the best candidate, drop out himself, support him and be his benefactor.

Bloomberg has supported same sex marriage at least as far back as 2010, which is earlier than Obama. He seems to be socially liberal.

However, Pete's sexual orientation might have had him thought the voters wouldn't accept him at first, but I believe Pete will carry on strong enough to Super Tuesday and Bloomberg will realize this guy can work.

The voters don't seem all that concerned with his light resume.

The black voter issue is pretty much an issue for Bloomberg himself as well. It can be overcome (to some extent) with right marketing of Pete.

Will they get him a step-ladder, or a shorter podium ?


Or make his opponent(s) kneel, as a form of "vertical reparations" ?

What's going on with Biden. There's been pretty much silence since Monday.
