    Sounds to me like he is planning a BIG Push in the Delegate-Rich Super Tuesday States.

    He's got the advantage of deep pockets, he can set up easily enough where he wants to.

    Can't say that about most of the dem candidates.

    Well normally the money flows to early state winners, but I guess he doesn’t have to really worry about that lol

    I can understand this. With all the ones that are/were running for President, it would seem not one of them are really liked enough to vote for, or even have a chance to win against Trump. I think the Democrats have talked Bloomberg into throwing his hat into the ring. They will do anything to win, I mean anything.

    Could very well be. The DNC is hurting for money and he's got it.

    Hillary ended up doing a lot of fundraising for the DNC last time.

    Biden will destroy him in the Midwest and the south, no matter how much money he has.

    I don't know if you noticed, but even before the Ukraine Hunter Biden stuff-Joe has been a bumbling fool on the trail with no sign of letting up.

    I can see mid westerners and southerners saying they'd rather win than support Biden.

    Biden is a default candidate, nothing more.

    Exactly.

    Plus the first 3 states (IA, NH, and NV) can be won on "Retail Politics".

    To compete in ALL of the Delegate-Rich Super Tuesday States you need really DEEP Pockets for Media Buys.

    That is Bloomberg's Advantage.

    Bloomberg is trying to enter the race at the 11th hour after all of the others pushed the envelope to as far Left as the DNC has ever let it go.

    All of the Dem debates up until this point have been for what purpose?

    Bloomberg's role might be to secure the power back into the hands of the DNC-E. Weak and in some cases an insane field....

    The Progressive elites see a poor prognosis for winning the election but they are not going to let the loons of the party set a course for an even bigger disaster down the road.

    Being a bumbling fool is a big upgrade over the mess in the WH.

    ANYTHING (Or ANYONE) would be an Improvement Over that INCOMPETENT ORANGE IMBECILE.

    The average corner panhandler would be better (assuming they have reached age 35).

    Incumbent presidents have a very good chance of re-election. So yes, he may well win.

    As to your other point, I hope the country recovers as well. I think there is more chance of recovering from this than from the hyper-partisan Senate, where the filibuster (a procedural tool that forced bipartisanship) died when the Republican Senate blocked Obama's appointments just because he was Obama, and not based on any assessment of the nominees themselves. A series of presidents - both Dem and R - that ignore his excesses (and corruption) and revert back to the presidential norms that existed before he entered the scene could repair the damage he has caused.

    Of course it is also possible that they see some of the things he has done and think, "Well, he got away with it. Why can't I?" In particular, I can imagine that future presidents assert the blanket privilege that he has asserted, and prevent all WH staff from ever testifying before Congress. A Republican Congress would go ballistic if that happened. Hannity's head would explode. But Trump is setting the precedent.

    Dangerous times.

    Trump is gonna be a tough out.

    Especially once that the Breitbart/Reddit Fever Swamp senses a Defeat and starts SPAMMING the Internet with Deepfake Videos and other BS.

    Trump also has an "Ace-in-the-Hole"...

    IF Trump KNOWS that he is going to lose he can have his buddies Putin and Assad contact ISIS (and/or Al-Qaeda) to stage "Another 9/11" (on Election Eve) to muddle the process.

    *God FORBID (Obviously). Strictly Hypothetical, And, hopefully it will never come to that...

    ...But, Trump is capable of ANYTHING (to retain his grip on power).


    Trump is not going away easily.:salute:

    In other words, the same sort of stuff that spews 24/7 from the Breitbart Fever Swamp?

    Got it. :salute:

    Great "contribution" to the Topic.

    Now what EXACTLY does that have to do with Bloomberg filing in Alabama?

    Now, back to the Actual TOPIC:

    It will be really interesting to see how this plays out.

    But, Bloomberg NEEDS to go All-In (if he is even, remotely, "serious").

    ^And, the sooner the better. :salute:
