If Bloomberg’s team is digging up all these videos of Bernie, kudos to them! I am SO darn scared about this mess. I just want Biden/Abrams ticket so I can breathe.
Bloomberg needs to saturate the airwaves with everything he can find on Bernie. Whether he (Bloomberg) is the benefactor or not, Bernie needs to be stopped.
I am sure I will hold my nose also but Sanders need to be vetted like every other candidate. His arrogance and criticism of Democrats doesn’t sit right with me.
Trump plans to name Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, as acting director of national intelligence
Grenell, a staunch supporter of President Trump, particularly on social media, has sparked controversy in Europe almost from the moment he became ambassador. It is unclear whether Trump intends to nominate Grenell to fill the top intelligence post on a permanent basis, which would require Senate confirmation, according to people familiar with the matter.
Bernie Sanders got so close to running a primary challenge to President Barack Obama that Senator Harry Reid had to intervene to stop him.
It took Reid two conversations over the summer of 2011 to get Sanders to scrap the idea, according to multiple people who remember the incident, which has not been previously reported.
That said, I agree 100%. My focus is clear: remove Moscow Mitch and Orange Man!
Republican Cover Up! @wildwestleft · 6h
I don’t care if BERNIE has to haul around an oxygen tank,
he is better than the orange crazy nut bag criminal con man mobster that eats junk food all day and has not only mental health issues but who the h*ll knows physically because he has NEVER been honest !!!!!!!

4/ I wish President Trump would see that value too. Because our current policy of blind, non-strategic escalation is just making Iran more powerful and menacing, and making America weaker and less secure.
I know that I am voting for VP Biden. I have given a lot of thought to who has earned my vote based on their records over a lifetime. I will do what I can to vocally and practically support him.
Are people really thinking long-term or are they swept up in the day to day moments?
I am broke as they come but I am very surprised at how money is influencing people’s choice of candidate.
He is compromised. Thank you Senator Warren for making that abundantly obvious.
Pro Tip @MikeBloomberg@mike2020 your impersonation of @realDonaldTrump as you responded to Senator @ewarren is now your legacy. The last thing America needs is another white billionaire with readily obvious susceptibility to being BLACKMAILED.
Difference in Warren tonight: she's not recycling the same old same old lines. She sounds like herself – practical, prepared, and pissed off. It's powerful.
Because he promises free shit. Nothing in this life is free. You have to work for what you want. We want FAIR shit, which is what I swore earlier would be a great campaign slogan:) Fair shit, Not Free Shit. Has a ring to it

I hope Bloomberg goes home tonight, realizes he’s not at a board meeting where he’s in charge, and then drops out and financially supports down-ballot Democrats.
As noted up thread, he’s compromised, as is Bernie.
But, in Bloomberg’s case he has significant wealth and if he focuses it on supporting Dem candidates from Mayor to US Senate & House as you suggest Jacqueline, and also uses his vast information technology platform to help protect the 2020 Election from attack, and continues his absolutely stunning series of videos about Trump he could have a major beneficial impact on our Democracy.
Zacklee. I’m off to sleep. Need to dream about something pleasant
They all can beat Trump. They all are better than Trump. They all have a heart. And a brain. They all would never tweet out garbage propaganda. They all would never bribe and extort an ally. And they all would never make an ass out of themselves on the world stage. #DemDebate
#DemDebate: OK, here's write-ups on all 6 candidates' healthcare plans. Remember, ALL OF THEM would vastly EXPAND coverage, REDUCE enrollee costs and PROTECT coverage of pre-existing conditions!

It seems that there are no candidates in the Democratic primary who are planning to drop out soon.
How much time do voters need to recognize that their candidate has no clear path forward and that it would be best to support someone else? That someone is one who has the majority of support among the groups that are traditionally allied with core democratic values .

I didn’t watch the debate last night because I was too busy watching reruns of “Holmes on Homes,” I love that show. Anyways, as expected Bloomberg got his ass handed to him by just about everyone. A businessman is no match for a seasoned politician and Bloomberg found out the hard way.
Justice? We don’t need justice in America anymore! HE’S the DECIDER. Get this asshole gone.
Trump is aiming to limit the role of the Justice Department in the clemency process. Jared Kushner is taking a leading role. Pam Bondi is also playing a significant role. There is a growing consensus among Trumpers that DOJ's role should be minimized.https://t.co/ymBMn4J82f
Johnathan Capehart says that his Aunt Gloria is still “Riden with Biden”…but his Mom is leaning towards Bloomberg…he says that they both share a common goal….DEFEAT Trump!
This is what i say
i understand…but it has to be more than a defeat of Trump that we want….we have to continue our move towards the dismantlement of white supremacy & white nationalism thru #TruthAndReconcilation…That is the lens that i am looking thru …to determine whom to vote for..
Defeating Trump and flipping the Senate must be our focus. We need to stem the horrible judges that Trump and McConnell are filling federal courts with.
More, from @michaelkruse: "the summer house … with rustic wood sides, a silver-colored tin roof, four bedrooms and 500 feet of waterfront that Bernie and Jane Sanders bought for $575,000, cash, through an entity they created called the Islands Trust."https://t.co/AvoxjGQsX1
Well look at Bernie, out here buying property and flipping houses and developing shit with trusts with cool sounding names. Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.
Good. Bloomberg has no business being on that debate stage and in the race.
Listen, some pundits may say that it was unsporting for Elizabeth Warren to kick off this debate by ripping Mike Bloomberg’s arms off and using them to punch him in the dick, but i respectfully disagree
This woman who was attacked by a bear in California and had her face ripped off did a reddit AMA and she said the worst part about the experience was dealing with her health insurance provider after the fact
Give Republicans some time and they will show their true colors. I don’t trust any of these “Never Trumpers” like Jennifer, Ed/Reid (whatever his name is), Bill Kristol, etc.
They don’t hate what Trump is doing, they just hate the packaging. At the end of the day, they’re all grifters and anyone who falls for their BS has only themselves to blame.
Thank you for reminding everyone through your internalized misogyny that the only thing you don't like about Trump is the packaging, not the content…just like every other Never-trumper.https://t.co/XnqXqCTtT6
In my research for two books I wrote about Obama (published in 2010 and 2013), I questioned Bernie 3 or 4 times about Obama. Each time, he bit Obama’s head off. PS: He was usually wrong on both the substance and the politics of the issues we discussed. https://t.co/KtQ900jlzg
We’re too self-assured. We’ve forgotten the lessons learned in ‘16. It’s not going to be about who’s smartest or who “annihilates” someone on a stage. We all know DT is dumber than a box of rocks. How do we convince voters that white supremacy & misogyny will not keep them safe?
We do not all win with the Ministry of Magic. We lose everything with them. I am tired of being in this forest scene- and I’m afraid we haven’t even begun.

Anyone who thinks Liz Warren's one debate performance last night proves she can beat Trump is someone who needs to go back and watch Obama's first debate against Mitt Romney.

It's fascinating to observe how many ppl justify the existence of billionaires based largely on a belief that they too might one day be a billionaire. It's not tied to any notion of fairness, but to an idea that one day they might also be able to exploit ppl for enormous wealth.
I have to resign myself that I would vote for a serial socialist like Sanders who is always mad as hell on stage and always, always pointing his fingers at me through my TV set.
Last night was the first debate I watched live; generally, I wait for the SNL versions which depict the behavior of some of these candidates more accurately than my eyes can see in a two-hour show.
Since when having money was a capital sin? Did Bloomberg steal somebody’s coffers? Yes, we must change tax laws to balance the distribution of wealth, but frankly, will Bernie’s tax law will make me a millionaire like him? Where was this hatred for the rich coming from? Bernie and his abject obsession on millionaires and billionaires are playing right into Trump’s hands.
.@GovLarryHogan spokesman dismisses @Public_Citizen complaint as the work of “an activist group peddling delusions." Previously Hogan dismissed the @monthly's expose of his suspect dealings as a "blog thing." It's not hard to see why he's lashing out. https://t.co/uqcxXU4OIV
That which is not said…an excerpt from wiki for the record.
SEN.ELIZABETH WARREN:
“was formerly a law school professor specializing in bankruptcy law. A member of the Democratic Party and a progressive, Warren has focused on consumer protection, economic opportunity, and the social safety net while in the Senate. Warren is also a Democratic candidate in the 2020 United States presidential election.
Warren is a graduate of the University of Houston and Rutgers Law School
and has taught law at several universities, including the University of Houston, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. She was one of the most influential professors of bankruptcy law before beginning her political career. She has authored five and and coauthored six books, and written dozens of articles.”
–stunning, just stunning.
Fed time is 85% of a sentence which would equal out to 34 months confinement. Once parole and a possible home confinement and other variables are introduced, Stone will probably do around 24 months.
– Roger Stone gets 40 months – That's what the judge was going to give him all along – Bill Barr's stunt failed – If Trump pardons Stone, he opens can of worms for himself – Pardons aren't magic wants – Trump is going to prison – It's still only 12:41pm
One more thing about Bernie’s “plurality means I win” .
The Sanders campaign is running less like primary contestants who need to build a winning coalition and more like a hostile takeover. It’s a revolution. Four years ago, his actions regarding plurality were totally opposite to today’s stance.
Yes, God help us No Child. Bernie Sanders is all in this for his arrogant, noncompromising self. He is forever maligning corporations, billionaires and millionaires. Unfortunately those folks vote also. One of the things that I liked about PBO was being inclusive of all Americans.
Hello, Beloved TODville Community.

I watched the Debate.
Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders was unscathed.
I’m hoping also, not a popular view, that Mike Bloomberg keeps up with his ads in places like AR, OK, AZ, etc. I hope he also zeros in on Sanders. McGovern was honest, served this nation lost 49 States. Bernie won’t lose 49 States but the House & the Senate will be hard should he get the nomination.
HUGE #'s for the #DemDebate last night. Looks like 19.7 million on NBC and MSNBC combined. Final # may fluctuate a bit, but it's a new record high for a Dem debate, beating last June's.

I am with you.
But I stay focus on the prize: get Trump out. By any democratic candidate necessary.
Bloomberg is getting his ass kicked around pretty well
He is compromised. Thank you Senator Warren for making that abundantly obvious.
Agree
HA! Bloomberg’s ass is so kicked tonight! HAHAHAHA!
(Just a little magapie moment.)
So kicked. Bernie got a little ass kicking too
WHY so many people love, love — LOVE Bernie, I’ll never get it. NEVER. Of course i’ll vote for that one- dimensional OLD, bizarre Mofo IF I HAVE TO.
