He does have the advantage of being the youngest guy vying for the nomination...

Re: US Election 2020
Perspective: Bernie Sanders is the new Ronald Reagan.
He remade his party with an outsider youth movement.

Re: US Election 2020
Bloomberg reps may end up at party convention. They would influence a Biden/Sanders tie.

Well, he had to beat out Tulsi.

Re: US Election 2020
With the field thus narrowed, I no longer hope for a Presidential Throuple campaign.
I guess Klobichar was the tipping point for me.
Sanders/Bloomberg. If they could overcome their considerable differences, they really might be able to out-spend, and out-crazy Trump

Re: US Election 2020
And it only cost him $1200 in facebook ads. Hard to believe he is dropping out now..... after spending over half a billion

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Re: US Election 2020
well, you can't buy an election. Unless you are Putin.
Re: US Election 2020
Didn't he buy one while Obama was President? I mean, it didn't work out, but the Clinton Foundation still got some good cash. Up until the election was lost, and they had no more influence...
Re: US Election 2020
Question regarding the nomination process:
These "delegates" representing certain candidates that will in the end meet up and vote on who becomes the party candidate, can they decide to vote for a different candidate in the end? What about delegates voted in for candidates that have dropped out later, can they still vote for another candidate in the end?

Re: US Election 2020
I think the process is such that they can, with precedent and legal explanation, keep Bernie from getting it.
I still hope it is either Bernie/MiniMike, or a 'Dark Horse' we haven't seen yet (though I don't even know how long they can wait before revealing their late candidate)
TL:DR - it's dirty, and in retrospect, it will all appear perfectly legal.

Re: US Election 2020
Our political parties are private corporations. Delegates can vote for Mickey Mouse if they want to. If the candidate has dropped out, they can encourage their delegates to support their preferred candidate, but again, there isn't any sort of legal obligation...NineBerry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 12:19 amQuestion regarding the nomination process:
