    Biden would be correct.  I don’t even get how Sanders can run as a democrat. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Well I mean, he isn’t a democrat.  This really isn’t a debate.  
    theres more within the article......not just from Joe or Bernie "I've never met a comb I really liked" Sanders

    Puffing up Pete didn't work as planned. They don't trust that Biden can close the deal. They must find something to keep as much of the status quo as possible. They can't risk Bernie or Lizzy coming in being all:

    Here's the ad on youtube. As stated, the most powerful ad you will see this election. Whatever you think of the candidate.

    Goodspeed: Listen, I think we got off on the wrong foot. Stan Goodspeed, FBI. Uh, let's talk music. Do you like the Michael Jackson song "Man in the mirror"?
    cincybearcat: I don't like soft-ass shit!
    Goodspeed: Oh, oh, you don't, OK. Well, I only bring it up because, uh... it's you. You should start with the man in the mirror.

    I haven’t started threads with a different democratic hero every damn week.

    Bernie is a liar. He is a fucking populist piece of shit. I hope to all things holy he ain’t the nominee, cause it’ll be a loss.

    Oh, does he

    Mike Bloomberg Gave the DNC $300K Two Days Before He Entered the 2020 Race

    And now the DNC is changing its rules in a way very favorable to ... Mike Bloomberg.

    So the late entrant that has pulled into 4th place should not be on the debate stage? I understand the rules but the fact that Bloomberg implies that asking for donations to him is absurd should prevent voters from hearing what he has to say?

    Huge money in politics is absurd and so is a billionaire running the country. But until we can amend the constitution from the ills of citizens united big money runs politics. The Dems can either accept this and  fight on equal footing or lose elections. Bloomberg’s biggest problem is he is not of an evangelical tangential religion, if that makes any sense. And middle America has its own thoughts on that.

    Ballot access would be the biggest hurdle for him. He'd have to dedicate a lot of resources to what is a state-by-state approach. Mostly because I can't think of an existing party already doing that work who would welcome him as their candidate.

    I just find it interesting that Castro is publicly chiding the DNC over this
