FiveThirtyEight: There's Now a 64% Chance the Democrat Convention Ends With No One Having a Majority of Delegates
Nate Silver pointed out a mistake I was making: "No majority" isn't the same thing as a contested convention/brokered convention. He says that even if no one gets the majority of delegates from primary states, candidates can drop out and urge their own delegates to vote for a candidate. Buttigieg, for example, could urge his delegates to vote for Biden.
So even with no one having won a majority of delegates, someone could still get a majority on the first ballot. Even if that's the case, a Sanders loss due to (alleged) moderates colluding against him would spark a lot of outrage, and maybe cause some cities to burn. As one of Bernie Sanders' staffers promised. More details here.

Two deep staters who certainly did their part to screw us over again are William Walters and Nancy Messonier. And just who are William Walters and Nancy Messonier you may ask?
Well, William Walters is the State Department hack who signed off on bringing the folks quarantined on that Japanese cruise ship back onto American soil without the knowledge of either the President or Secretary of State, even though Trump had been told that wouldn't happen.
His stated rationale was that these good people were mere evacuees, and as such, he simply followed long-standing protocols for bringing them back home. Went on TV bragging about it in fact. Were they evacuees, and did we follow protocols? "The answer to both those questions is yes," quoth he. Apparently letting Trump and Pompeo know wasn't part of the protocol. Heckuva job Walt!
And Nancy Messonier? Well, she's the CDC chick who went on TV early on and pronounced it was only a matter of when, not if, the virus would come here, and that it was bound to spread big time because of a lack of testing kits and relevant policies in place for an infectious disease outbreak.
Remember the folks getting of the ship saying they were shocked to encounter health officials not wearing appropriate clothing and lacking testing kits? Yeah, that's Nancy's work.
And to top it off, any guess who this chick is in addition to being a highly placed but utterly incompetent (yet nonetheless chatty before the cameras) CDC official? Well, she's Rod Rosenstein's friggin sister. Yeah.
Blood (and now two deaths) on their hands? Sure. But do they care? Not one whit so long as they can try to help pin this situation on Trump.

Butty had put together and impressive amount of money, but he spent almost ALL of it on Iowa and New Hampshire, to try to make a big splash early. Whatever he had left he spent on South Carolina, and he was hoping that somehow his early wins would give him name recognition and boost his later performances, even though anyone with sense said, you cannot win any minority votes with your gay little white boy act.
And then he only got 3% of the Black Vote in South Carolina, he had spent nothing at all on any of the other Super Tuesday states, and his campaign was totally broke. If he had stayed in, he wasn't getting out of the single digits on Super Tuesday, and with no money, he was going to have to lay off all of his staff. He could have waited til Wednesday, but there was no point. He was finished, and everyone in his campaign knew it.

1. Trump will absolutely OWN him.
2. The more legit his claim to the nomination, the bigger the fallout when they take it away from him.
3. If he wins the nom, it forces the democrats to finally come out and openly support the ideas they've been playing footsie with since the 60's and denying when confronted. We will finally get to have an honest conversation about where we are headed as a nation.
4. It will cause a real and devastating rift in the seemingly unbreakable party unity of the democrats.

Yup.
After Bernie got screwed over in 2016 a group of his campaign people and Cenk Uyger founded Justice Democrats, then got a core group of radicals into Congress, thus providing far greater insider access to CAIR, Qatar, Hamas, Iran. And also: they openly declared war on the DNC.

let me say this about that
I know there's been a lot of comedy here and at other sites about Joe's apparent mental decline. But I'm a guy who watched his mother's slow decline thru dementia and eventually Alzheimer's and let me tell you, it is a sad thing to watch. The worst part is that at the beginning, with the diagnosis, the person knows it is beginning to happen to them and they are often terrified and distraught. And there's nothing you can do for them along those lines. You can only comfort them as best you can.
As for Joe Biden, I don't know what his circumstances are- if he's actually ill or just a clumsy, inept public speaker. But I hope his family does what they can for him if it's the former.
I don't really have a point here- just sounding off I guess.

Krugman has a different goal. I don't think he cares much about Trump beyond the normal baseline hatred that all Big Government/High Finance/Globalist types have for him.
Krugman's goal has *always* been the financially cripple people and make them dependent. so as to deliver them bound and compliant to the official slavemasters of the state.
Krugman is a government-power guy and wants people bound to the state like a horse is to a plow. His hatred of Trump is transactional. His hatred of a free and prosperous people is existential.

Yeah, I have been wondering for a while about why no one in his family loves him enough to get him out of the spotlight as his brain diminishes.
I suppose we laugh at it because Biden was such a stupid, cruel, power-hungry, corrupt SOB for decades. If even his own family is more interested in what they squeeze out of a presidential run than his well-being, then they themselves are making him available for this derision/sad spectacle.
The other question is: Why is his party not interveneing? Think it's likely because he is their alleged "moderate" through which they plan to get a radical VP into close proximity to the oval office. They are usingg him, too.
I don't want to enable his family's or his party's use/abuse of him by keeping mention of his mental capacity off-limits, though.

Yes, the RINOs and squishes I know will vote for any Dem except for Sanders or Warren. They scare them with their tax and confiscate plans. They'll either stay home or reluctantly vote Trump to keep Sanders out of the White House. Even lefty and big Dem supporter Lloyd Blankfein said that last week

Krugman has a different goal. I don't think he cares much about Trump beyond the normal baseline hatred that all Big Government/High Finance/Globalist types have for him.
Krugman's goal has *always* been the financially cripple people and make them dependent. so as to deliver them bound and compliant to the official slavemasters of the state.
Krugman is a government-power guy and wants people bound to the state like a horse is to a plow. His hatred of Trump is transactional. His hatred of a free and prosperous people is existential.

The market is up right now, but it's still early days.
I did a quick check, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average still is up over 10% from the lows in the 'crash' of December 2018. The DJIA is up over 35% from the day that DJT won the election.
The big thing is that the Dow tested the lows of Aug 2019, basically held (down c.70 pts below that Aug level), stayed well above the lows of May 2019, and is bouncing up from there.
Bottom line (and the technical analysts in the Horde can weigh in on this), is that we could very well have seen the worst for now. We can certainly test these levels once more between now and Election Day, but the sky isn't set to fall anytime soon, IMHO.

While I agree with you Fen, this was Alinsky #4.
Think of how often the Democrats have used black churches for politics? If they stop by black churches to give campaign speeches, can enlist the leaders of black churches to tell their parishioners how to vote and assist in getting them to the polls, then they can also be a place for protest.

The idea that Bloomberg would take more from a Democrat than Trump is wrong-headed.
Bloomberg, who's running as a Democrat, while Trump has 90+% approval from Republicans.
No, a Bloomberg 3rd party run will attract deadenders like Bill Kristol, the sort of Republicans that voted for Egg McMuffin, and no more. In terms of Democrats, he'll pull far more.
Not enough to win electors, but enough to ensure that any state that would otherwise be remotely close goes to Trump.

The non conspiracy answer would be that with Bloomberg taking his "non senile Biden" role, and his front loaded organization not translating into a grass roots surge in NV and SC, he sees little hope and would just as soon pocket the money everyone was giving him in these last months for future political moves than burn it all now.
A bribe by someone only adds a little nudge to this analysis.

"No matter which one of these old fossils wins the Preezyship, I'll throw my weight behind you(!!!) for VP.
You will be Preezy."
That's a safe bet, esp with the right push:
Biden's one cognitive test away from being forcibly retired.
Sanders has already had a severe heart attack. Another one will surprise no one. The Scalia-Treatment, perhaps?
Bloomberg better have his own food tasters and trusted Praetorian Guard. At 78...well, again any type of death would surprise no one.
If I were he and I won, I'd go all Micro Corleone
on the Obama-leftovers and the Dim Leadership and clear the decks for what I wanted to do, uh, figuratively speaking.
The Dims are a barely disguised mafia as it is. No one would be surprised.

And also: for being the quintessential example of how ugly the Left's sexualization/grooming children for sexual deviance has gotten in recent years.
9 year olds should not be focusing their sexual identity, let alone discussing this outside of the home -- that this kid's sexuality was used for a political campaign is horrifying. Right up there with that video of the tranny with exposed buttocks crawling up to the little girl dressed for a party. Those two images combined make one want to start smiting these freaks openly preying on children.

Point definitely taken.
Krugman did great work in analyzing international trade, and it's a shame that he could't keep his commentary to that. It would be enlightening to hear what he had to say about the intersection of policy and trade dynamics.

I'm thinking he was in legacy-protection mode.
He was going to lose and lose badly on Super Tuesday. So, if knowing that likelihood if not inevitability was coming, the only play is to save your reputation for a future run and not get tagged as a "loser". By quitting early, you get to say at some future date, "People didn't vote for me because I dropped out first because ... reasons ... but now I'm a better candidate and ... better reasons."
This was a face-saving move to reclaim future viability. A book deal might just be the ribbon on the future viability present.

Who does he draw to the polls, and drive to Trump?
Gun voters. Working class voters (and not just white ones). I can't think of a single State that Trump won in 2016, that Bloomberg would win in 2020.
I can't even think of one where he would pull away enough GOP voters to give the State to Bernie.

I thought that his strategy of running for Prez now was great if his next move was going to be Governor of Indiana. I can't imagine anyone else in that state having the same name recognition as he does.
If it turns out that he doesn't make a run for Gov, that means that his South Bend record is so poor that he'd be laughed out of the state when he announced.

That is not fair, he would be like Jaws 3D compared to Jaws.
Has this guy even placed in a primary yet? I get he has spent a lot of money bu there is nothing new about that. He might have made a difference in VA but that was after years of burning cash to no avail. I don't see the constituency.

==========
I think his next move is the Senate. One of the IN senate seats is up in 2022.
If he were to win that, he'd be able to use his increased status and leverage his donor list from 2020 to mount an imposing run for the presidency in 2024.
Of course, I don't imagine he'd actually win that Senate seat to begin with.

If you vote for me, I promise to reduce the size of your border with Massachusetts by nearly 80%!
Posted by: Mike Bloomenhitler at March 02, 2020 01:13 PM (e284m)
But you increase the border length on the Canadian side. Trading Massholes for hairy, overweight, Quebecois wearing speedos. Don't think that is winning message for you Mike.

I don't. I want Trump vs a "moderate" who stole the nomination from Sanders
Because I want Trump to beat that guy, and the Left to go into an apoplectic fit
Followed by the Left pushing hard in 2022, and losing. and the Left getting their full on "progressive" in 2024, and losing
And then the Democrats realizing they can't win if the Left is in charge, and pulling a purge.
Trump crushing Bernie would be good.
Democrats burning down Milwaukee on their way to a crushing defeat would be better

Remember Beto - Beto was supposed to be positioning himself for future statewide runs in Texas, maybe for Senator or Governor. Then he ran for President and started talking about sending troops out to confiscate everyone's guns, and now he couldn't win an election to be the guy who scrapes dead armadillos off the highway here. Nice move, Beto!!!

Has this guy even placed in a primary yet? I get he has spent a lot of money bu there is nothing new about that. He might have made a difference in VA but that was after years of burning cash to no avail. I don't see the constituency.

He hasn't been on the ballot anywhere yet.
The Dems do have this delusion that there is an anti-Trump faction out there - even they don't think the ones on TV belong to it. They just assume that another option will spilt off tons of support without much effort. This misreads the Rs, of course, and Bloomberg seemed to imagine that there is a similar faction among the Dems itching to vote for him as well. This is even dumber, as the centrist Democrat is about as scarce as unicorns.

You don't think the kid's parent(s) were behind it? Who took him to the campaign event and helped him fill out the card?
The LGBTQ activism has spawned a new kind of Munchausen by Proxy-ish parents who use their lil' darling's sexuality to gain attention for themselves. Oh, you are soooo tolerant and caring, mom and dad!! The MSM and activists couldnt be making these trans toddlers and grade school drag queens a thing with out parental assistance.
It's another story for the teens, but no 6 year old books an appearance of Good Morning America to discuss trans bathrooms or their new line of drag fashion (on sale online now!) without mom and/or dad pushing it hard.

I'd say it's not determinative outcomes that the Iowa caucus provides; it's atomic analysis made by up-close-n-personal exchanges.
Not a fan, personally, of the rigid primaries as some states get locked out of having any impact. But I'll say this about Iowa. It sure seems like it winnows out candidates pretty well. The remnants of the contacts and responses made that day resonate immediately into the next primary. That's an important function.

Most of them are broke, but are still in it, and that doesn't explain his bizarre taking a break because he had "a cold??"
He skipped that trip because they didn't get enough donors signed up to pay for the cost of the fundraisers.
No, I don't know that from reading it somewhere. But I do know that from having worked on campaigns in the past. Pete was running on fumes going in to SC. He wanted to see if black voters really hated him as much as the polls said they did. Answer: Yes!
So he bailed while the bailing was good

If the wine moms are outraged about Trump's uncouthness, what the heck are they going to think about Bloomberg? He visibly hates everyone and can't say a word without insulting a good slice of the audience or electorate. At least Trump is funny.

That's the takeaway. Enormous wealth that resonates, mostly, with banking, finance, and Chamber of Commerce. So as far as money goes, he has a bottomless pit of support.
But the actual votes are trivial. It's only if he can parlay that wealth into common man appeal. Well, he can't. He's beyond horrible. Add to that the fact that his policies/platform have moved Left to some extent to which the rich might have to sacrifice some of their own wealth and, well, he's immediately nonviable.

I'm fascinated watching Bloomberg, who looks like at any moment he's going to flick out his tongue and nail a passing fly. He's the spear answer to Obama's flack who loved her some Mao and apparently had tardive dyskinesia.

It's curious about Bloomberg. I wasn't hostile to him due to his nanny-statism - at least in a visceral sense. I just thought he was as politically obnoxious as any textbook socialism for me/capitalism for thee pol. But his deep animus to those outside his bubble which is to say almost all of America is nauseating. I wasn't aware of just how nasty he was, but the guy is deplorable and not in the Tea Party way.
He's poison.

He's young. He's been 'groomed'. He's a red-diaper baby like Bernie...
Biden is clearly not-fit, but he's the only control they have over the nomination process.
Mini-Mike and his jumbo sized pac will support Pete.
And all the proper Marxist "Intellectuals" will confirm to Bernie that Mayor Pete is a true believer and is worthy of being supported. Plus Bernie gets to keep his grift, not do the heavy lifting, and Mike will pay-off Bernie's consultants
