The Democrats have 2 problems. The "viability" rule so if some of the hangers on take 14% or less it leaves the delegates for Bernie who should have a reasonable result in most places. But really they moved everything up to "get it over with" but did not see why things worked better drawn out. It is doubtful they imagined the circus they have gotten, but still an example of be careful what you wish for. Longer term if the Democrat Party really is the 45% or so socialist it appears to be then we may see some real realignment in USA politics by 2030. The President is a fink. |

No more BootyFudge to mock? Sad.. Beato and Booty, what a team they would make. Don't forget they were both taken VERY seriously by the Dem party.. https://apnews.com/9a141437992adacfa6dfa04c4e197b86 If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It seems very suspicious for him to suspend his campaign at this time. Why not wait to make a decision until after "super Tuesday"? I have a feeling that some behind the scene deal making and promises had been made to him for him to drop out at this time. Let's go Brandon |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Being on the campaign trail is hard for a younger man, let alone people in their late 70's. Biden, Bernie, Mini Mike are all 8-10 years older than Hill and Trump were in 16. And it almost killed Hillary. Trump was doing 2-3 rally's a day sometimes. These old geezers will be lucky to be able to do 1-2 a week. I was wrong about Avenatti, he'll be on trial in Calif all summer. I can't rule Hillary out, she's on the sidelines like an old hungry spider, waiting to pounce. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yeah this is odd because he was by no means out of the race. He was in third, and was far more likely than some remaining in the race. I have a feeling some kind of deal must have been made to prevent siphoning of delegate before Super Tuesday. Bloomberg may be involved they have some common financial connections, and they may want to centralize all moderate voters to combat Bernie. |

if you're a fame whore like Trump, being the main attraction is not work. Being alone with no one to brag to, is probably his worse nightmare. Trump is not the guy who would go to a party, and is bored in 5 minutes, unless maybe no one noticed him. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Again you spectacularly miss the point. It's about having the energy and the stamina to do that many rallies. Trump was 69 for most of 2016 rally season. These old geezers are eight or nine years older than that. Whoever wins the nomination we'll have to go on a geriatric tour, They'll have no choice. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That is a bucket of cold water Bernie Sanders September 8, 1941 (age 78) Michael Bloomberg February 14, 1942 (age 77) Joe Biden November 20, 1942 (age 77) Elizabeth Warren June 22, 1949 (age 70) Tom Steyer June 27, 1957 (age 62) Amy Klobuchar May 25, 1960 (age 59) Tulsi Gabbard April 12, 1981 (age 38) Pete Buttigieg January 19, 1982 (age 38) Donald Trump June 14, 1946 (age 73) Pete was the most likely candidate to take enough delegates on Super Tuesday to prevent anyone from breaking 50%. He may very well have been offered Secretary of Treasury if he dropped out before Super Tuesday. I don't think they are in a position to offer VP or Secretary of State this early. Candidate Delegates Bernie Sanders 58 Joe Biden 50 Pete Buttigieg 26 Elizabeth Warren 8 Amy Klobuchar 7 |
