What about Joe/Pete getting along well? Can’t imagine Pete considering bringing Joe on board. Heard early yesterday pre caucusgate
This match up would bring rocking chairs for the old folks back to the White House. Speaker Pelosi in third place? Really Craig?
…but Bloomberg has the plasma of a 20-year-old, Jamie.
Not all billionaires look alikeÂ
nope, amy. of the current field from which he may choose, she’s the shortest, similarly low key and the least viewed as elitist.
however, I see mike as magnanimously stepping aside at just the right moment and ushering in whomever he wants to be president. it might be pie in the sky, but I think his real goal is to dethrone IMpotus
yeah, good call, patd
Nobody gets in Trump’s head like them. He’s jealous of Bloomberg’s actual billions and terrified of strong women.Â
Disagree Pat, he’ll need a bona-fide lib, not another moderate
Thank you craig, love and miss you long time. And no, no, no to Bloomberg Warren   Biden  Harris is the winning combination   Black chicks of all ages rule now 👏🏽 And they c an longer be overlooked.  Biden is the only old white man they will tolerate. And Harris?  That would be very satisfying indeed.
so what if pete really is the iowa victor? Â comes thru at least 2nd in NH? Â I’m back to touting a pete & cory Rhodes scholar ticket with city governance experience.
they say the pendulum always swings back from what’s currently in office. well, those 2 guys are sure as hell 180 degrees different from IMpotus.
Pete is toast, patd
Harris is a political liability, Stacy Abrams is a better choice if you’re looking to play identity politics.
Welcome to the blog cheryly! Â Don’t be a stranger.
All this stuff is making my head spin. Â I gotta vote in a week. Â Love the idea of Biden/Harris. Â But my 2nd choice has always been Amy. Â No… Â I’m no voting for Bloomberg. Â But I do love the way he’s making the Donald’s head spin.
BTW… Rick is and has always been in it for Amy.
Bloomberg Campaign Manager Kevin Sheekey on CNN says they’re hiring more staff, “2,078 by next week”.
Not saying he’s the greatest, but his resources can’t be ignored.Â
Sea, I’d be very happy with Biden/Harris but Joe is out of money and I don’t see a way for him to fix that.Â
NPR had a segment interviewing Iowans, and one grizzled old Trump voter said the Democrats lost him 40 years ago and he’d never vote for any of them, again. Â
So, the interviewer asked him, “what about Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire businessman?”
…old man replied, “well, i’d have to think about that.”
I’ll S.C. vote for Liz or Amy.  Probably Liz.
And let the buffalo chips fall where they may as the cookie crumbles
Bloomberg/Warren  LMAO
Bloomberg should have run in the Republican primary
OSH, I’d like Biden/Harris – agree it’s good combo. And I don’t know much about campaign finance, but if Joe can’t get some big money in quickly he’s gonna have to bow out. That said, he raised respectable cash in the 4th quarter (although his cash on had was low) and the Unite the Country PAC is working to shore up the shortfalls of the campaign’s coffers. It ain’t over yet,
But here’s a campaign finance tracker that Politico posts . All the top candidates (I don’t even consider Steyer and Bloomberg) are under water if I understand this thing.
Jennifer Granholm on CNN, about Bloomberg: “Honestly, because of the amount of money he is putting on Super Tuesday he can swoop over the top.”Â
Pogo, so many candidates under-financed is why I’m looking closely at Bloomberg. Can see this becoming a Bernie-Bloomie showdown, hence my thinking about getting Liz on board.Â
First nobody expected Biden to do better than 3rd, white liberal Iowa isn’t where he will shine. That he may finish 4th is a hit and if he falls to 5th(remember how confident Amy was yesterday) then Craig has a point. The other candidate in trouble is Warren. White liberal college voter is her world her coming in 3rd is a loss. Bernie’s numbers are flat, just using his numbers he is having trouble attracting new voters. The only real winner coming out of Iowa even if he comes in a close second is Mayor Pete, He needs to take that win and run with it as hard as he can and picking his battles on super Tuesday because he is a white only candidate.
One other thing about yesterdays primary, not a great turnout, it seems this crop can’t excite the voters that may be a problem in November.
Sea is right, somebody had better give the minority voter a reason to show up or it could get real ugly in November.

So why does Bloomberg need a liberal on the ticket? Where are they going to go? They will vote, well off educated people always do. They can’t vote Trump, and they can’t lie to themselves and vote a protest vote that gets Trump re-elected. They’ve got no choice. Besides Bloomberg can draw enough suburban republicans to make up for the few who do set on their hands. But the African American vote is different, they can and do stay home and if you are going to get to 270 they are in states that you have to win. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Ohio. A Biden/Warren ticket might work because Biden can get Black votes. Bloomberg can’t.
Jack
If you put Bloomberg on top then you need a younger VP. That means Harris or Klobuchar.

62% Iowa reporting, per CNN
Pete 26.9
Sanders 25.1
Warren 18.3
Biden 15.6
Biden is done.
