The Democratic Presidential Debates

So the GDP of American Samoa is $658 million (as of 2016). That's in the ballpark of how much Bloomberg spent overall. Whatever the final total money amount spent on his own campaign turns out to be, he should match that amount with a donation to something. $600 million dollars could go a long way to combat homelessness or hunger. He can afford it. At least he'd walk away from all of this with some dignity. And he'd still have more than enough money to throw behind Biden.2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

Biden does have a strong lead. The way the delegates are allocated makes it difficult to close big gaps, but not impossible.0 -

But on a positive note, the sitting President probably had no idea the island even existed until last night, so if nothing else, Bloomberg got them a little notoriety.

Everyone keeps forgetting that Joe hasn't been a very good candidate. But neither was Trump so who knows what will happen at this point.
I sure hope Biden can do better (debates, energy).0 -

Do you know how you make a multi-party system happen?
By rewriting the Constitution.
Do you know what you need to rewrite the constitution?
A constitutional convention.
Do you know what you need to make a constitutional convention happen?
By winning two-thirds of both houses of Congress.
Now I'm not sure under what scenario you think that's going to happen. But there's an entire element of the GOP that has been actively campaigning for a constitutional convention for years now. And it's certainly not going to result in a multi-party system.

Sanders is done. Time to immediately change his message.
He needed record breaking turnout to get the change he thinks the country wants.
But the reality is, in stunning victory after stunning victory in Bernie states, Biden got Obama level turnout to stop sanders cold and socialism.0 -

NJ, and no it didn't. Assume it would not this time, either, but I am not willing to take that chance. Would rather do something I thought I might not ever do & vote Dem in a Presidential Election.
